ContactsDirect sells prescription contact lenses from Acuvue, Air Optix, Dailies, Biofinity and other major brands, including toric, multifocal, colored and daily lenses, plus lens solutions.
Standard shipping is free on every order, so the bigger saving comes from buying a 6- or 12-month supply, which takes up to $150 off automatically.
ContactsDirect needs a valid prescription for every lens order and offers an Rx renewal service on its site. Lenses are grouped by how often they are replaced, as daily, biweekly or monthly disposables, and by lens type, and the shop stocks eye drops next to its solutions. It accepts most vision insurance, sits in-network with several plans and can help file out-of-network claims.
Orders can be collected free at nearly 2,000 LensCrafters locations, which hold them for up to 14 days. Online orders are capped at $1000, so larger ones are placed by phone.
