Where to Buy Your Contacts

We live in a world where people increasingly purchase products and services online. Research shows that the primary reasons people buy online are lower prices and convenience, and these are the same reasons cited for purchasing contact lenses online. However, given the importance of the correct and current prescription for your eyesight, there may be better options than buying contact lenses online. If you live in or near Montgomery and need eye care services, contact our team at Hour Glass Optical.

Contact Lenses

Buying Contacts Online

As optometrists, our team at Hour Glass Optical follows the American Optometric Association (AOA) Standards of Professional Conduct and the AOA’s guidance in cooperating with online contact lens retailers. We recognize that there are honest and effective online contact lens retailers, but there are also risks associated with buying online from some suppliers.

We recommend the following when buying contact lenses online:

- Never buy from a supplier willing to sell contact lenses without the customer’s current prescription.

- Be wary of counterfeit, returned, or improperly stored products.

- Do not accept substitute brands since they may not use the same quality materials as the lenses your eye doctor prescribes.

Buying Contacts at Hour Glass Optical

In addition to our adherence to the AOA’s Standards of Professional Conduct, there are many other benefits to buying your contact lenses through Hour Glass Optical.

- Patient History: We have provided eye care and prescribed corrective lenses for many patients for years, so we understand each patient’s history and can anticipate your needs and concerns.

- Patient Instructions: We provide hands-on, personalized instruction to help you insert, handle, and sterilize your contact lenses.

- Return Checkups: We encourage patients with new or modified prescriptions to return for a checkup to ensure the proper fit. These checkups also allow us to check your vision for other issues.

- Insurance Claims: We directly handle your insurance claims, reducing complications and your time commitment.

- Open Box Policy: We offer the convenience of buying advance lens supplies and accept the return of unused supplies if your subscription changes.
