Does 1800 contacts verify your prescription with your doctor?

Question

Does anybody know if you order contacts online from 1800 contacts if they call your doctor to verify your prescription? I know a couple of people who supposedly say that they do not call.

Answer 1

They do call. It is illegal for them to dispense contact lenses without verifying it with your doctor.

Answer 2

The do verify but only give the doctors a certain time limit to answer before they fill the prescription. If the doctor does not respond in a certain amount of time, 1800 contacts assumes that it is ok and fills the RX. A little sneaky if you ask me.

Answer 3

Yes. It is against the law if they don't.
