AC Lens Contact Lenses FAQs
We have put together a list of the most common questions received by our doctors and staff. How do I order replacement contact lenses from Ordering is simple. Click on the contact lenses tab and you will automatically be taken step by step through the buying process.
Can I call to place my order? Yes. You can place your order by calling 1-888-248-5367. Your order will be processed promptly and shipped to you directly after prescription has been verified. What if I don't know my prescription? We will gladly obtain it for you. Please provide us with your doctor's name and phone number when prompted. Why does my prescription need to be verified? AC Lens is committed to the health of your eyes. As a lens replacement center, we are only able to provide you lenses from a current, valid prescription by an eye care professional and that you are currently wearing successfully. Verification of contact lens prescriptions is completed prior to shipping to ensure savings, help maintain excellent eye health, and comply with the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act. This law requires that optometrists and ophthalmologists give patients a copy of their prescriptions after a fitting and verify those prescriptions to any third party designated by the patient, such as an online lens seller. This protects patients by ensuring that their prescriptions are current and valid. Is it necessary for contact lens wearers to have regular eye examinations? Yes. Contact lens prescriptions have varied expiration dates due to state regulations, doctor preference, and health concerns. A regular eye examination is recommended to check your prescription and to evaluate the health of your eyes. Many eye diseases have no apparent symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for keeping your good vision and possibly preventing permanent vision loss. Can an eyeglass prescription be used for a contact lens prescription? No. Eyeglass prescriptions and contact lens prescriptions differ. Eyeglass prescriptions differ in that they do not provide the necessary parameters needed to properly prescribe contact lenses. You must be fitted for contact lenses and the prescription will include contact lens brand name, base curve, and diameter that are not components of an eyeglass prescription. Do I have to get an eye exam first? What if I already have a prescription? We make things easy for you at AC Lens. Sure you can use your own prescription; you don't need to see one of the independent Doctors of Optometry at AC Lens to order contacts. However, you do need a valid prescription to purchase contact lenses. Please fax us a copy of your prescription at 1-888-248-5367.
But remember, at AC Lens locations, we offer low prices on eye exams for eyeglasses and contact lens exams. So, why not get an eye exam, just to make sure that your vision hasn't changed? Call your local store to learn about special offers at your nearest location. Call or stop in -- one of our Opticians will be happy to explain all the services we have to offer. Can I order a different brand of contact lenses than my doctor prescribed? No. We can only provide you with the brand of contact lenses as prescribed by your doctor. If you wish to order a different brand of contact lens you must see your doctor to be fitted for the new lens, which you have worn successfully. Then you may submit to us the new prescription written for the new brand of contact lenses. Can I order colored lenses if my prescription is for clear lenses? We can only provide you with the brand of contact lenses as prescribed by your doctor. If you wish to order a brand of colored contact lenses you must see your doctor to be fitted for the new lens, then provide us with the new prescription. Can I purchase colored contact lenses if I don't have a prescription? No. All customers require a prescription for contact lenses as prescribed by an eyecare professional. If you do not require vision correction and want to purchase colored contact lenses, a prescription is still required. Since contact lenses come in a variety of sizes, an eyecare professional must fit them to your eyes.
