Contact Lens Accessories At Wholesale Prices

The Internet is a great place to source and find all those
wonderful and tempting wholesale contact lenses and contact lens
accessory offers.


You've probably spent hours in the comfort of your own home,
surfing the 'net on your computer looking for those
to-good-to-be-missed special offers. Looking at it that way any
amount of time searching is worth it, if it means you're getting
top-quality products at the lowest possible prices!


This is especially true of any contact lens accessories
purchases you make at wholesales since these items help you to
maintain your lenses in tip-top condition, keeping them safe for
your eyes.


However, your eye safety doesn't actually start with the contact
lens accessories wholesale Internet specials you found recently,
though. It starts with an examination and prescription from your
eye doctor or eye care professional.


As with everything else in life, everyone is an individual and
although we look the same and some of us even share the same eye
color, our eyes are truly unique.


That's why you must remember that contacts are corrective eye
wear. They are prescription medical devices that only your eye
doctor or eye care professional should prescribe and fit.


It's easy enough to practice good common sense eye care for
yourself. For instance, don't borrow and wear other people's
contacts as this could cause eye infections, damage your sight
and lead to significant vision problems.


In cases like this no matter what contact lens accessories
wholesale deals you got on the Web, even the latest and greatest
must have accessory can't help you when you use lenses
inappropriately and incorrectly.


And don't get complacent just because you've been using contacts
for years - in fact, you're likely to have picked up bad habits
and could actually be abusing your contact lenses and your
special contact lens accessories.


It's important every year to make sure that you set an
appointment to have your eye doctor or eye care professional
review your prescription. That way, you can be certain that your
lenses are the best possible fit and you can ensure they are as
safe and beneficial as possible.


That way you can keep on surfing the 'net, finding as many of
those contact lens accessories wholesale special offers you
want, till your hearts content!

Color contacts are hot now - everybody wants to have beautiful bright eyes. And the best news is you don't have to pay a fortune for these eyes. Follow these tips to get cheap color contact lenses online and enjoy a new look without hurting your budget.





Tip 1: Select color contacts that don't cost a fortune





Color contact lenses are not as expensive as they were five years ago and prices can vary dramatically from brand to brand. Of course, you don't want to go for the cheapest color lenses (their look will only disappoint you), but it is still possible to find good color contacts that don't cost a fortune.





First of all, colored lenses can be divided into two major groups - disposable color contacts and annual replacement color lenses. Usually a box of disposable color contacts costs less than a single annual replacement lens. However, it is cheaper to buy a pair of annual replacement lenses than a year's supply of disposal color contacts.





Disposable color lenses which you usually replace every month or 2 weeks are typically sold in boxes of six lenses. Good examples of disposable color contacts are Freshlook Colorblends (monthly lenses), Acuvue 2 Colors (2 weeks disposable) and Expressions (monthly replacement). Annual replacement (which are good for a year) lenses like Durasoft 2 Colors or Illusions come in vials and the price is usually indicated per vial (one lens).





However, be careful. Some sites offer cheap, 'no brand' color contacts. You don't want to get those - not only do they look obviously fake, but they are not comfortable in your eyes.





Tip 2: Look at comparison and review sites to find the cheapest price





After you select the brand you want and have obtained your prescription, it is time to find the best deal. Online prices are generally much lower than those offered by an optometrist's office. Also, from time to time online contact lens retailers put selected lenses on sale, which can get you an even better discount. There are plenty of sites that sell discount color contacts online - you can visit several of them and compare the prices.





But there is an easier way. There are many review sites that help consumers compare online deals. Visit a review site that compares prices at several online contact lens stores and gives reviews of color contact lens merchants. This way you can be sure that the company you want to buy your lens from is reputable and honest.

Tip 3: You can get cheaper color lenses if you buy large quantities.





Most online contact lens retailers give you additional discounts and free shipping on large orders. Even if you order different colors, you can usually get lower prices. For certain color lenses you can also get rebates, if you order a year's supply.





Tip 4: Get free trial color contacts before you order





Few people know about it, but you can try popular color contacts for free. Color contact lens manufacturers are happy to give you a chance to try their color contacts. They can't just send you a pair, however, because you need a prescription for color contacts the same as you do for any contact lenses. But you can get a trial certificate from manufacturer's site, and with this certificate you can get a trial pair at your doctor's office.
