Do eye doctors usually let you try on a few colored contacts?

Question

Do they let you try on a few brands and colors before you settle on one? Because I am looking to get them, but I was told that I would have to switch brands to get the color I want, and if I did that, then I would need to ask my eye doctor. So if I go there, would he let me try on samples [for free]?

Thanks...

Answer 1

I am not sure..........It depends what doctor. Why don't you ring the clinic or doctor in advance and ask? That would save you a trip if they say no. Good luck..............

Answer 2

If they care about their costomers, yes.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

no probably not....

Answer 6

yes they have to by law. when you are trying out new lenses he will give you some free ones to trial to see how they are for you. as for the colours they will let you try on as many as you want so you know which ones look best on you.

Answer 7

well, i dont know if the doctors let you, but you can go to some of the brands websites, such as freshlook, and actually get certificates for any color u want! i did this a few times, untill i found the perfect shade for me. the site below actually lets u download a picture and try out different colors on yourself, then gives u a certificate 4 a free trial pair to take into your eye doctor. i think i tried out 3 shades b4 finally finding the right one to get...

Answer 8

They typically aren't some sort of distributor or salesperson.  They are there to check your eyes.

I would be very surprised if they had any color eye contacts at all.

Answer 9

It depends on the doctor but generally no.
