Why are your prices so much cheaper compared optical stores and other Internet sites?
Simple. We keep our overhead low and we buy bulk. Because we have no physical storefront or sales people, we can pass on these savings to you.

Does VisionSave charge a membership fee ?
Absolutely NOT!

Do I need a prescription to purchase contact lenses?
For US orders you will need to provide your eyecare professional's information. If you want to speed up the process please email a picture of your valid contact lens prescription (info@visionsave.com). If you are unsure which brand and type of contact lenses you require, you should consult your eyecare professional before ordering.

How do I read my contact lens prescription?

Here is a typical contact lens prescription:

Eye Power(sphere) BC Dia Brand
OD (Right) -2.25 8.8 14.0 Acuvue
OS (Left) -3.00 8.8 14.0 Acuvue

Eye Power(sphere) BC Dia Brand
OD (Right) -2.25 8.8 14.0 Acuvue
OS (Left) -3.00 8.8 14.0 Acuvue

Here are the definitions of the symbols used:
OD - Right Eye
OS - Left Eye
OU - Both Eyes
BC - Base Curve
Dia - Diameter

Toric (Astigmatism correcting) lenses will also contain two additional numbers:
Cyl - Cylinder and Axis

Bifocal contact lenses generally contain one additional number which is the add power. A special field will be given for this number.

Notes:
1. A contact lens prescription is not the same as an eyeglass prescription. In addition to the lens power, your contact lens prescription contains several other pieces of information related to the size of the lens.

2. Your prescription will also contain an expiration date. This is typically two years from the date that the contact lenses were fitted.

3. BC values range from about 8.0 to 9.5. The doctor fits the lens with the curvature most appropriate for your eye. Most lenses come in several different BC values. If your prescription does not contain a BC value, this is likely because your brand of lens only comes in one base curve.

4. BC values are a bit like clothes sizes - just because you are a BC 8.6 in one brand doesn't mean you will be in another.

5. If you are in a toric lens your prescription will contain two additional columns entitled cylinder and axis. These numbers related to the correction of your astigmatism.

If your order is an uncommon prescription it may take slightly longer to process. This is particularly common if you require Toric lenses which often have to be special ordered. This can take additional business days to process, therefore, please be patient.
