Personally, I don’t think that I will ever be able to wear contacts. The thought of putting a foreign object onto my eyeball kinda creeps me out. Nevertheless, some people do prefer contact lenses over glasses and this post is for them!

Surely by now you’ve heard of 1-800-contacts. Did you know however, that they have a website as well? On 1800contacts.com, you simply choose your brand, enter your prescription and pay! Orders are free over $50 and 1-800-contacts provides a guarantee.

Because the company doesn’t have the same overhead that a traditional retailer has, it is able to provide you with prices that are much, much lower than you’d expect. In addition, by purchasing larger quantities, you may receive a bulk purchase discount. This discount is great if you wear contacts frequently and want to save some money.

A new feature that the company has come up with is their iPhone 1800contacts app. The iPhone app allows you to:

  • Scan your contact lens box to upload your prescription — no typing required
  • Upload a pic of your paper prescription and we’ll ship your contacts even sooner
  • GPS-based search for a local eye doctor
  • Import your doc’s information directly from your Address Book
  • Scan your credit card with the camera or use PayPal for less tiny-typing
  • Reorder super fast from your secure account

Head on over to 1800contacts.com now and see how much ordering online can save you and your family!
