Can I order contacts without prescription verification?

Yes, you can! Find your brand here.


Having a valid prescription when buying contacts is essential - we just don’t have to verify it. We trust you to be proactive about your eye health and don’t believe in ever compromising between convenience and quality. But hey, if you would like us to verify yours, our experienced eye doctors are happy to do that for you.

But wait a second - are you legit?

We’re totally legit! As we’re based in Europe and operate under European law, there’s no requirement to submit your prescription when buying contact lenses online.

We don't mean to brag, but we're on call 7 days a week. One might say we are too legit to quit (we couldn't help ourselves).

Let's get down to business: our prices.

Unlike other contact lens retailers, we've cut out the middleman and buy contact lenses directly from the manufacturer.

When should I get an eye test?

Our eye care professionals recommend that adults should get an eye test at least every two years, and children should get one every year or as recommended by their eye care professional. Those over 60 should be tested more frequently. If you’re experiencing any eye or vision problems, you should talk to your eye care professional as soon as you can. It’s possible that your contact lens prescription, like a glasses prescription, can change regularly, making regular eye checkups and contact lens check ups essential.
