I have contacts already, can I order colored ones without my doctor?

Question

I have my prescription papers and everything, I just got contacts today. They want me to wait two weeks before I decide on colors though them... but I'm leaving for a month long trip to Europe in three weeks and I need them asap.

Can I just get them through 1800contacts without going through my doctor? I just want them for once in a while use.

Answer 1

As long as you have your prescription with the details, you can order through 1-800-contacts.  Enjoy your trip!

Answer 2

Yes you can.  Just do it.  As long as you have the prescriptions you can do it.  Have fun on your vacation.  You might want to order a second pair to have just in case you have a problem while on vacation.

good luck

Answer 3

Yes. But they will need to contact your optometrist or opthamologist for your prescription.

Answer 4

definately.. they will ask you to fax them a copy of your prescription which is good for one year.

Order now!! it will take atleast 3-4 days.
