Anyone buy contacts online, reputable online stores?

[Jesb]

So I'm in need of some new contacts as I'm on my last of my 6 month supply. But my optometrist is closed so need to look elsewhere. I do need contacts for astigmatism. I want to buy clear and coloured contacts. For coloured contacts I was looking at EyeCandys.com. But their reviews don't look good and their customer service is a little suspect. Takes days just for them to answer a question. Does anyone buy contacts online? Any suggestions please.

I buy from visiondirect. They ship from the UK I think, takes about a week to get to the US. Haven't had any sorts of issues with them.

I buy from 1-800-Contacts, they're super fast and always have what I need. I have astigmatism too and use the Oasys brand. Never had a problem with them!

Any idea if they offer coloured contacts for astigmatism? eyecandys has them but I just don't know how trust worthy they are. And not a lot of places have coloured contacts for astigmatism. That must mean it's a good reason right? Maybe it's not a very good/safe option yet.

They do have colored lenses, but they're not prescription or for astigmatism. Unfortunately lenses that are for medicinal / daily use because you have eye issues generally don't come in colors because they're not meant to be used for cosmetic use, and I think they're not really viable production-wise. Like, getting a color and a specific measurement is just kinda hard and will probably affect lens effectiveness.

Here's the link though, if you want to check it out.

Edit: My bad, they are prescription but not for astigmatism.

1-800-Contacts is legit. Just bought some more from them. Not sure about colored contacts though. I just use regular Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism.

How bad is your astigmatism? I have pretty mild astigmatism in both eyes, and I wear circle lenses for cosplay with little to no issues.

I've always just bought from Amazon (Japan).

I used to use 1-800 contacts. Now I just use Costco because it's cheaper for the kind I need.

 

[VanDoughnut]

I use save-on-lens, not sure that's the best value though.

MY BRAND

 

[JilloftheJungle]

As far as (cool) colored contacts, you can go to those kind of asian sites, but make sure the brand itself is reputable - many brands actually include a code to check online if it's real and not a fake. Geo lenses are reputable, but many are as well. Just make sure bc is same as yours not just rx. Diameter can be more but that's for that 'big eye' look. You can usually search by diameter.

For some reason when I first read the thread title I assumed you were asking for phone contacts for cold calling 😆

Apparently because I have a astigmatism I cannot get the coloured contacts from 1800contacts. They are asking me for a prescription for that specific brand but never had coloured contacts so why would I have that prescription. Was told a prescription is all they need than told I need to be fitted for this brand. Looks like I cannot ever get coloured contacts.
