Save Money on Contact Lenses

Written by Original Source | Posted in Contact Lenses

We’re all looking to save a few bucks wherever we can. That’s why it’s fun to search the Web and look for things like discounts and free samples. If that sounds like you, then you may have hit the jackpot if you’re looking for contact lenses or even colored contact lenses. Let’s look at the different kinds of contact lenses and then some ways to save money on them.

Are Colored Contacts Without Prescription Available?

For those looking for non prescription colored contacts, you may find some places that will sell them to you. You should know that it is actually illegal to sell them without a prescription, so you’d be taking your chances. They need a prescription by law.

Can You Get Free Trial Color Contacts?

Yes, and you definitely should! Contact lens manufacturers want to send you free samples of contact lenses in hopes that you will like their brand and choose to order them. These free trial contacts last anywhere from a week to a month, which is plenty of time to give them a try and see how they work for you. You’ll be able to try different colors as well as different brands. Just try one brand at a time to see how they work for you.

Visit the websites of contact lens manufacturers and look for the free trial contact lens offers.

Discount Contact Lenses

When you do want to place your order make sure you shop around, Personally, I saved about $120 by checking the price of my toric contact lenses over at 1-800-Contacts. They buy in bulk and pass the savings on to their customers. So shop around and you can save a lot of money.

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can save about 30% on contact lenses (even on top of getting the best price) since that money is tax free. If you don’t have an HSA, then be sure to deduct the cost of contact lenses on your taxes if you itemize your deductions.

Conclusion

Be sure to watch for sales, shop for the best price, use your HSA or use the tax deduction for medical expenses if you can. I also suggest subscribing to the e-newsletters of contact lens retailers so that you can see if they’re going to have a sale. As long as your prescription is under a year old, you can still use it. So be sure to place another order for more contacts before your prescription gets old and that will save you the expense of going to the eye doctor. See? I’m saving you lots of money on contacts just from the few tips in this article.
