When you get contacts, how long does it take for them to arrive after you order them?

Question

I'm getting my eyes examined on Wednesday and getting fitted for contacts, and because of some other things i'm involved in i kinda need to know how long it'll take.

Answer 1

That depends whether you get them delivered to your home or the opticians store.

I get mine delivered to the store and it takes just a few days.

Answer 2

depends on the shipping method u chose, express, overnight, surface, emergency, door 2 door ? could be 1 or 2 days or 2 weeks depending on the type of shipping u choose.

Answer 3

when im in england, in vision express they have my dailies in stock to take away but my continuous wear take about three days. When im in america i go to lens crafters who usually have both in stock.

Answer 4

They normally give you a week trial or so. But they will not give you any lenses unless you can demonstrate that you are able to put them in and take them out.

During the week slowly increase your usage time to allow your eyes to adapt. e.g 2 hours on first day, then 4 hours, then 6 hours etc.

It's a pain I know, but much better to take it slowly rather than rush in and delay the process even more or even damage your eyes.

But it shouldn't take too long =)

Enjoy your contacts!
