Some Web sites will permit you to complete a chart or an online form with the ordering info about your vision contact lenses and ask you to fill in your eye professional's name and telephone number. The site might or might not ask for a tangible copy of your prescription, but they should obey applicable State law concerning contact lens prescription corroboration. This means that they can simply confirm the prescription by phone. It's really that simple. Go online, fill out a form, they confirm your vision contact lenses prescription, and ship you your lenses!

Since individual states have different licensing requirements for optical dispensers, enforcement of prescription device sales has often been left to State authorities. What harm can be done if I haven't got regular check-ups with my doctor or I order lenses without a valid prescription? Well, legally not much, but for the health of your eyes a regular yearly check up is recommended before ordering vision contact lenses online. At your check-up, your eye doctor will re-assess the fit of your contact lenses and observe any changes in your cornea due to your lenses. You'll benefit by having a correct, current prescription and you'll avoid major issues, particularly if you wear your lenses on an extended or overnite schedule.
