Contact lenses though have been in use since the 50’s, but the technology has radically changed in the recent past from hard glass to soft gas permeable lenses to the latest silicon lenses. This has kept the market on its toes. But the buyers are always looking to spend less and get greater benefits.
Just to stay in competition and keep the market in its flow, the producers are always trying to provide cheap contact lens to their buyers. But the point of concern for you as a buyer should be that when going for cheap contact lens, you should ensure your personal safety first.
You must realize that may it be corrective lenses or just for fun, colored contact lenses, they all are sold against a prescription. Any one selling them without a prescription is actually committing a felony at the cost of your healthy vision.
There are still better and more authentic ways to purchase cheap contact lens for your use. It all depends up on you, which method you prefer, that is by personally visiting an optician personally or getting them through the internet. In all the legitimate situations your doctor’s prescription is a must. So if someone tries to sell you cheap contact lenses may it be on line or in the flea market without a prescription, don’t hesitate to report to the appropriate authorities against him. Such unethical people play with your health for their own personal gains.
There is a common concern regarding the fact that the prices offered online are so less than the market price that they almost deem fake. The reason behind this fact is that in case of the online seller, there is no requirement of a display center which reduces their overheads considerably. In most of the cases they the online seller is just an agent of the manufacturer who actually does the marketing and the overall responsibility of the product delivery remains with the company which further reduces their shipment cost and gives the buyer the advantage of paying the ex-factory price only.
Next time do consider buying online but be vigilant of the impostors.
