Buying contact lenses online. Is it safe?

Do you have your concerns and reservations about buying contact lenses online?

Maybe a friend or relative on Facebook has told you that buying contact lenses online isn't safe, or that online retailers don't sell genuine products?

While its true there are unreliable sellers out there, the misconception that you can't trust ANY online contact lens sellers is one that is often perpetuated by high-end opticians to convince shoppers to buy from them instead of choosing a retailer where they can get the same product, but for less.

As long as you are purchasing your lenses from a licensed retailer, it is safe and beneficial in other ways too.

Buying contact lenses online is convenient

No need to set aside time to go to your optometrist! Ordering your favourite contact lenses online is quick and easy.

All you need is your prescription details and you can have your contact lenses delivered right to your door (or your workplace if you choose!)

If you're unsure how to read your prescription, see our guide here.

Contact lenses are often cheaper online

The biggest reason some consumers are wary about buying contact lenses online is because they think cheaper price equals inauthentic product.

The truth however, is that online sellers such as Quicklens are able to offer contact lenses cheaper online due to the reduced expense of operating a business online.

We have reduced overheads and we buy in bulk, direct from the manufacturer so we get the best rate and then pass the savings on to our customers through our cheaper prices.
