How to Get Free Color Contact Lenses



Did you know that it is possible to get a trial pair of color
contact lenses absolutely free of charge? Find out how you can
get a free trial pair - or even several pairs - of beautiful
color contacts.







Large color contact lens manufacturers have to compete for your
attention. Some of them are even willing to give you a free
trial color contact lenses, hoping that you will like the lenses
and stick with the brand. Currently, you can get free pairs of
Acuvue 2 Colors and Freshlook color lenses.







Many people search for free color contacts online; unfortunately
it is not this simple. All contact lenses - including color and
special effect lenses - are medical devices, so you can't just
order a trial pair and have them delivered to your home without
having a doctor's prescription







However, there is a way to get a free pair. First, go to the
official site of the contact lens manufacturer. There you will
find a link that says "try for free", or something like that.
You will have to fill in a form, but the company will either
mail or e-mail you a certificate, that allows you to get a trial
pair of color lenses from your eye doctor. If it is an e-mail,
you will have to print the certificate.







With the certificate in hand, make an appointment with your eye
doctor, to get your prescription and a trial color lenses. Make
sure to ask in advance if this particular doctor has heard of
color lens certificates and can give you a trial pair.







Tip: print 2 certificates for different brands of color contacts
and ask the doctors for two pairs so you can compare the comfort
and look.







When discussing, with your doctor, what brand of color contacts
would be best for you, make sure to go for a popular brand,
which you can order from online contact lens shops. Some doctors
tend to prescribe brands that you can only order through their
office. While there might be a good reason for the arrangement,
an optometrist's motivation can often be simply to monopolize
your custom. Unfortunately, you would probably have to pay 3 or
4 times more than if you were prescribed a popular brand of
color contacts, which you can buy online.







After you get your trial pair of color lenses, wear them for a
few hours. Look in a mirror under different light conditions -
you will be amazed how different your eyes will look under the
sunlight, compared to interior lighting. You should try your new
lenses for comfort as well as a good look - watch some TV, try
reading a phone book (usually the smallest type) and see how
well your eyes feel when you work with your computer. Typically,
you can wear a trial pair for a few days.







If your trial lenses look good under different lights and feel
comfortable, then it is time to order yourself a box of these
lenses. When you buy color contacts online, the prices are quite
affordable.

If you are in the market for colored contacts, you need to look for the best way to purchase them. By the best, we mean getting high quality products that are priced right. The good news is that you can find a wide range of options to consider in this regard. Most of those that are looking for color contacts are looking for a good option but also want to get a good price. Here's how to do just that.

No matter if you need prescription colored contacts or non prescription, you will need to visit your eye doctor before attempting to purchase them. This is because your eye doctor will need to insure the health of your eyes and size your eyes. Once they do this, though, do not purchase your colored contacts there. In fact, unless they are having some really great sale, it's not even worth stopping after you get that prescription.

Instead, take your prescription for colored contacts and go on the web. The retailers on the web can often offer you the lowest prices on contact lenses period. They do this because they specialize in it. They will likely have the most unique selection of contacts to select from, if that is what you are looking for. Or, they will have the perfect color combination for your needs. With so many to select from, it may take you a bit of time to determine which the best is for you.

When looking for and purchasing colored contacts on the web, you should consider several things. You should always purchase them from reputable dealers. You should take the time necessary to determine which of these dealers is offering you the lowest price. And, you should insure that they are offering some sort of guarantee for your needs as well. The guarantee should provide for the quality of the colored contacts. That is, if you find that something is wrong with them or that they are not fresh but poor quality, you should be able to get your money back or get a new pair.

Some online websites will offer you color contact samples to help you to find the best color for your needs. This can be very handy when you will be purchasing colored contacts that will change the color of your eye from light to dark or dark to light. Also, if you would like just a subtle change, go for a colored contact that offers to enhance you eye color instead of just changing it. Some people will have trouble with going from a dark colored eye color to that of a light. These free samples and guarantees can help you to get the best possible product without the cost of large investments.

Anyone that is in the market for colored contacts should consider the wide range of products they have available to them. Take your time to find the right location to purchase them from. Then, make sure that you shop around at least a bit to find the lowest price on them. Then, you will have the eye color that you want and need and the very best product to provide this to you.
