What you'll need to order

A valid contact lens prescription:

most contact lens prescriptions are valid for
12 months. Make sure the prescription (Rx)
you are trying to shop with is valid. We cannot
place orders for expired prescriptions.

The name and contact information
of your eye doctor:

by law, we must validate the prescription
of any order placed on our site.
We’ll contact
your doctor on your behalf to meet this requirement.
