Ordering Contacts Online

Medical devices, such as diagnostic tests, hearing aids and contact lenses are accounting for an ever growing number of the health products being sold online. Contact lenses are considered a 'medical device' by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA considers any instrument, implant, diagnostic test or machine used to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent a disease to be a medical device.

The FDA recognizes that there are a number of qualified, professional online retailers for quality medical devices such as contact lenses. The benefits of convenience, privacy and, often, cost savings, makes online purchasing attractive to consumers. However, they also are aware that there are many unscrupulous marketers on the Internet, and buying from these retailers can not only be dangerous to your pocketbook, but downright dangerous to the health of you and your family.

When you buy contacts online be aware there are other websites that:

  • Offer products that do not work

  • Offer products that have not been proven effective

  • Offer products not approved by the FDA

  • Sell prescription products without a prescription

  • Do not protect a customer's personal or financial information

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continuously monitor medical devices, health products and related advertising on the Internet. Click on their links above to read about recent and past consumer warnings and alerts.

For those consumers wishing to buy contacts and other health related products on the Internet, the question becomes - how does one know if an online retailer is legit? Several U.S. regulatory bodies, including the FTC and FDA, have outlined a number of things that any consumer should look for in ensuring they're dealing with a professional, honest online retailer.

These guidelines include:

1) Be cautious about advertiser claims

Many advertisers market products that are "guaranteed", that provide "amazing" results or that "promise" the consumer any number of benefits. Be a wise consumer. Understand that nothing in life, including medicines or health products, are guaranteed.

2) Read through the research

When words like "proven" or "proven effective" are used, take the time to understand why they are saying that. Do they have government approved test results to offer? Always be skeptical about 'independent' research. Is it valid? Can anyone back it up?

3) Read the labels

U.S. consumers can quickly identify many products that may not be FDA approved is they are in a variety of different languages or in metric (S.I.) measures. It is possible that these products may not be approved by the FDA and/or may not meet U.S. standards.

4) Only purchase products that offer a telephone number and address in the U.S.


When you buy contacts online, the following advice is useful.

  1. Continue to get regular, physical eye exams to ensure proper fitting of contact lenses

  2. Ensure that you receive the exact brand and type of contact lenses requested - never accept substitutions

  3. If you're lenses are causing irritation or discomfort, check the prescription and fit with a qualified eye care practitioner.

  4. Expect to receive the manufacturer's written patient information with every order.

  5. Ensure that all elements of the contact lens prescription are covered, including:

    • Your name

    • Doctor's name

    • Contact lens brand name

    • Expiration date

    • Lens measurements (power, base curve and diameter)
