This store is an affiliate of web giant drugstore.com and it is designed to get you the corrective lenses you need at a low price.

Final Thoughts:

Visiondirect.com is a efficient, easy to use web site for purchasing contact lenses. I have been wearing contacts for about seventeen years and one of the nice things about this particular piece of merchandise is that the prices have slowly been dropping over time. In the 1980’s, contact lenses were more expensive and less comfortable than they are today. So, not only has the price fallen, the product has gotten better as technology has advanced.

Even though prices are generally lower than ever before, a contact wearer can still benefit by spending some time to search for the lowest price possible. Eye care centers often charge inflated prices, both for the convenience they offer and because they know that many consumers are covered by insurance and do not care much about the price. By buying on- line, contact wearers can minimize expenses and still get the same quality product they would find in a store.

Placing an order at Visiondirect.com is pretty simple. If you already have an account with drugstore.com, you can use the same logon information for visiondirect.com since they are directly affiliated with each other. I have been using drugstore.com for many years, so my information (billing and shipping address, credit card number, etc.) were already in the database. All I had to do was enter my e-mail account and password, and select my lenses and the number of boxes. With two more clicks, my order was completed.

You will have to enter your prescription information to complete an order. The site will ask for your eye doctor’s name, the place you got your last exam, the phone number, and so forth in order to comply with federal law. If it has been a long time since your last exam, your order will likely get rejected. You will have to get an eye exam and try again later.

The prices charged here at visiondirect.com are a little less than other on- line services (like 800contacts.com- an epinion is forthcoming) and substantially less than those charged at your local vision care office. When I purchased my eight boxes (6 contacts per box) of Bausch & Lomb #59 soft lenses, I paid only $13.95 per box. Since my order exceeded $100, I was given an $8 discount on the total dropping my final bill down to $103.60 with no tax or added shipping charges. Had I purchased these same eight boxes at the store, the price would have been about $18 per box plus tax, for a total bill of about $157.

Visiondirect.com, at present, offers three levels of shipping but I cannot think of any good reason why anyone would not chose the standard shipping method, which carries no charges. The three- day method is a real rip off because while it promises your order will arrive in three business days, the standard method promises it will ship your order in only three or four days. I’m sure there are some exceptions, but in 99 percent of all cases, you are best off taking the free shipping offer and saving the $8.95. Your order might arrive one day later, but this minor inconvenience is worth it to save the extra expense.

My shopping experience with this site was as smooth as silk. I placed my order on a Sunday evening and I immediately received a confirmation e-mail. On Monday, I received another e-mail notifying me that the order had already been shipped. On Wednesday afternoon, I opened my mail box and my package was there. It got to me in only two working days after it was shipped and I paid nothing extra for this speedy service. I was impressed, to say the least. I do a good deal of on- line shopping, but I don't know many sites that offer free shipping and get your order to you in such a short period of time.

Overall, this is probably the best on- line contact lens shopping experience I have had thus far. I have used other sites but they didn't offer prices as low as Visiondirect.com. There are probably some other good contact lens on- line stores out there in cyberland so I will keep my eyes open for them. One of these days, I will break down, get laser surgery performed on my eyes, and I won't need contact lenses again. But until then, I will continue to shop at Visiondirect.com. The site is easy to use, uncluttered, and efficient. The prices are low and the shipment was sent to my home in a very short time, earning Visiondirect.com a high recommendation.
