I'm down to my last pair I really need to think about this.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Are you in the US? Because you still need a valid prescription to order contacts online (one within the past year).

I order them online from Costco and have no problems.

I have my prescription, but not a piece of paper.

Yes as long as you're getting the same brand and style all there is to do is punch in the numbers of your prescription printed on the side of the box. If you're switching to a different brand or style I'd visit the optometrist first.

1 800 Contacts is the best. I highly recommend them.

I get the 30 day disposable contact lenses (and I've had 2 week soft lenses which in retrospecr is disgusting) from a company called Hubble. 29 bucks i believe for 1 month supply, convenient and always on time lenses

I do still have the box...really I should just go to the doctors, but I kinda don't have time to do that, and or, with covid, I try to do as little as possible.

So do you just send them a pic....I do still have the little plastic things they come in.

Also thank you all for checking in. I gotta get this one figured out, it's become a source of stress that I could do without.

With 1 800 Contacts, at their website when ordering, you just supply the info of your doctor and they call them / contact them to verify the info to your contacts and then 1 800 Contacts immediately sends you your contacts. 1 800 Contacts is # 1 in online contact lenses delivery for a good reason. I strongly recommend checking them out.

So, really I can't get around this without a doctor's visit, can I?

Yeah 1-800 contacts online is the only way I go anymore. They are fast, hassle free and you can even do an online exam. Go for it.

I cannot stress enough how amazing Opti-free saline is. Don't even look at the price, it's expensive, but I haven't had contact lens "fog" or discomfort in years. It's a miracle saline. My eyes never go dry, I have zero need for drops. It's fantastic stuff.

I actually use the bubbly kind. I had to after...well a few jobs back.
My problem is, I'm on my last pair.

I really need to stop being such an ass, request time off and go in, as it is I need glasses.

I've just heard that people can get lenses on line....but I was unclear of the procedure.
It sucks because I do have my script, but it's real old.

I should ligit just dial up 1-800....or see what Walgreens has to say, there is one by me....I think, it was a Rite-Aid.

Fuck, I park next to a CVS pretty much every day I leave the house. ~If that's a thing.

Idk what country you live in, but here you must have a new prescription once every 2 years. Now you can go to the website and do an online exam and cut out the doctor's visit. As mentioned, I use the 1-800 contacts site and now after COVID it's really easy and basic.

I'm in the US.

You can do an online prescription thing?
That would work for me, for now.
All I need is some backup lenses as I am at the end of my stash.
And yes, Covid has complicated things, not the least of which is, I worked through every minute of it, and my days off are just zombie days...which sucks, but such is life right now.
~Not worrying if I can see tomorrow would be a good thing though. Shit glasses for around the house might not be a bad idea...but really I just need contacts to live/survive.

Yep, online eye exams are a thing now, thankfully. Just go to the website and follow along, it's pretty user friendly. I did it, my vision right now is excellent, and I got 3 boxes for under $100.

Damn yes, I will look into this...no pun intended. >_>

But ya, I gotta get this issue off my shoulder.
It's really a simple thing, but being without one eye would fuck me up right now.

1 800 Contacts has an online eye exam. I've never used it (so I don't know too much about how it works), but it's something to look into in the event you seriously can't get to your normal eye doctor in person.

This is what I do. I am starting to move away from using contacts though.
