hi

I need contact lenses. I also know my power and brand that I used to use. But I don't have prescription. Do any of you know where can I buy lenses without prescription. your suggestion is really appreciated.

As far as I know, it is illegal for a company to sell contact lenses without verification. Having said that, I am sure there are some online sites that let you do that (google please) . If I were you, I would try to find someone who has the same prescription and ask him/her to buy the lenses for me. What's your brand and power?

Will I get in legal trouble if I buy contact lenses without a copy of my prescription?

• You won’t break any laws, but the company is selling you a prescription device as if it were an over-the-counter device. In legal terms, this misbrands the device. The company is also violating FTC regulations by selling you contact lenses without having your prescription. For more information, see the The Contact Lens Rule: A Guide for Prescribers and Sellers¹.

if you know the power of the contact lens then just go online and buy it, you can get cheaper online. Also some manufacturers offer rebates.

Just remember though, the power of the glass and contact lens are different.

Je man ma ayo bhanyachha. A seller doesn't need to verify sh*t for selling lenses. The only reason they ask for it is coz they need specs to order one. If u have ur old contact box, u will find ur prescription on the box. As the last post stated, u can buy it online.

Good response an I retract my comments. Although I am still right since it is not illegal, atleast u gave a knowledgeable response. This is strange since 1800 contact has been in the businness for a while and openly adverises what I told above.

thank you sathi haru ho,

your suggestion to buy online is good, but online has an universe inside it;  can anyone of you pin point and give me a specific site to go to.

anyone know a pharmacy run by desi where I can call and order? or any nepali work for optician who can help me; I can send paypal as well.

My power is -3 for right, and -3.25 for left eye and I use accuvue. any help... I'd really appreciate

try justlenses.com. I haven't tried it yet but it doesn't seem to require a prescription. You just need to know the BC and power. Good luck

common guys....go to walmart's eyecare...check ur eyes..they'll write u a prescription
they charge like 50 bucks

Last I heard, Walmart's vision center was like $105 for the most basic contact lens eye exam (that is, if you don't have any complications like astigmatism or whatever). The cost could vary by location I guess.
