can you buy contacts somewhere if you dont have medical insurance????
if so, where can i get some?
Absolutely! Keep in mind, though, that you need to have an eye exam and prescription specifically for contacts… a regular eyeglass prescription will not work.
Eye exams don’t actually cost that much – you can often get one for around $70 – and contacts aren’t generally very expensive either – $18 to $30 for six pair of disposable contacts, depending on exactly what you want.
All sorts of places sell contacts; most places where you can buy prescription glasses also sell contacts, and many of them also have an optometrist who can do the exam. Some examples: Lenscrafters, Pearle Vision… even WalMart!
I use an online site:
http://www.visiondirect.com
However, they will need to confirm your current prescription with your eye doctor.
Hope that helps.

I think you can get them from anywhere that sells glassess and contacts except you are going to pay alot of money for them. And they sell them in those chinese beauty stores but I heard they cause eye infections. The chinese sell a diffrent kind of contact lens. On the sites that sell contacts they have those halloween contacts the ones that have the crazy designs.

You can buy contacts anywhere that sells them, insurance or not. The difference is if you have no insurance, you pay.

yeah it is possible. Go to a Walmart vision center they are usually cheaper too.

if you have a Value Vision you can try that. My husband bought his there without med. insurance.

Roughly $100-$150 will get you an eye exam and a pair of daily wear contacts, or a package of disposable contacts good for about a year. That eye exam will check for eye diseases and illnesses too.
Any optometrist shop will do. Look in the yellow pages under eye wear.
If you have to ask this question, though,you will need permission from your folks to buy them if you are under 16

Hi!
Don’t listen to anyone here, I hate when people answer questions when they DON’t know the answer.
You CAN buy contacts online without a perscription!
Here is an example of one website:
http://www.lensesbymail.com
That is where I get mine from, no probems at all with them. They even take paypal which I find very convienent and they ship 2-3 days. Fairy cheap, mine are $19.95 for a month..
So yes, you can get contacts without a perscription. HOWEVER, you must have had contacts BEFORE so you know what stength, size you need.
If you’ve never had contacts before, you won’t be able to buy them, but for the reason that you won’t know what strength and size to buy…
But if you’d have them in the past, and know your size and strength, you can go to http://www.lensesbymail.com and you can buy them there… don’t need to go to yearly expensive visits.
