Don’t have time to go out and pick up a new supply of contact lenses? No problem. If you’ve had a contact lens exam within the past year, it’s easy to order contacts online from America’s Best.

We can help you save yourself a trip—and some money. Just follow these steps.

Step #1: Locate Your Contact Lens Prescription

After you’ve had a contact lens exam and been fitted for lenses, your optometrist will give you a contact lens prescription. It includes information you’ll need to order contacts online from America’s Best.

If you have a current box of your contacts, check the side of the box for your prescription.

Important tip: You need a current, valid prescription to place an online order. In most states, contact lens prescriptions are good for just one year. (Learn why a yearly contact lens exam is so important here.)

What if I Don’t Know Where to Find My Contact Lens Prescription?

No worries. If you saw an optometrist at America’s Best, we’ll have a copy in our system and can validate the prescription for you during checkout. (More on this in Step #2, below.)

If you saw an outside optometrist, you can provide your doctor’s information during checkout. We’ll contact their office to validate the prescription, then process the order.

Step #2: Find Your Prescribed Lenses on Our Site

 

You’ll find the best contact lens brands and options at AmericasBest.com—browse our contact lens collection.

You can browse by:

• Brand
• Contact lens type
• Manufacturer

Here’s where the information on your contact lens prescription (or box of current lenses) is needed.

On your prescription, take note of the following:

• Contact lens brand
• Contact lens wearing schedule, also called “modality”

Your doctor will prescribe you a certain brand and modality—dailies, weeklies, or monthlies. Remember, you will only be allowed to order the type of contacts written on your prescription.

Once you’ve found your prescribed lenses, click to make your choice and add it to your cart.

There are two ways to enter the information from your prescription.

1. Enter it manually where prompted, as shown:

   

2. Upload an image of your most recent prescription during checkout. Then just provide your doctor’s information, and we’ll validate the prescription.

Quick tip: If you have an existing account at americasbest.com, your prescription may already be in your account. Just select your current prescription during that step. If you don’t see the correct prescription, select your store during checkout. We’ll have a copy in our system and can validate the prescription for you.

Step #3: Decide How Many Boxes You Need

Once you find your contact lenses on our site, decide how many boxes you’d like.

• If you wear daily disposible contacts, you can buy a 30- or 90-pack.
• If you wear weekly or monthly contacts, you can order a 3-month, 6-month or annual supply.

Note: It is important to always follow the prescribed wearing schedule for your contacts. Wearing lenses for longer periods of time than prescribed can lead to serious eye issues or eye infections. (Read more about the dangers here.)

Step #4: Submit Your Order and Pay

You’ll receive an email order confirmation with an order number. Then we’ll validate your prescription. When your contacts are on their way, we’ll send a shipping confirmation email.

We ship using FedEx or United States Postal Services (USPS). If your order includes glasses and contacts, they may ship separately.
