Q: What if I don't know the details of the lens that I am wearing?
You are not alone. Most patients are unsure of at least one parameter of their lenses.
With EyeMedContacts.com you just need to know the lens brand to start the order process.
All orders are verified with your Eye Care Provider before the lenses are shipped.

Q: What if my eye doctor is not listed?
After searching for your eye care provider, you will have the opportunity to start the ordering process without actually selecting an eye care provider. If you are sure your eye care provider is in network but you don't see it on the selection page, you will need to manually enter the provider's name and contact information. When your order is processed, we will verify that the doctor is an in-network provider and continue the order. If it is not an in-network provider, you will be immediately notified and your order will be cancelled.

Q: I have a contact lens allowance or discount with my EyeMed plan. Why can't I apply this toward the purchase of replacement contact lenses?
EyeMed requires you to purchase your initial pair of contact lenses from your eye care provider so the doctor can ensure proper fitting of the lens and any required follow-up care. You can apply your benefit or discount to these services and materials. When you require additional contact lenses, while the prescription is still valid, you can use this service for convenience.

Q: Can my eye care professional decline my request for replacement contact lenses?
There are some circumstances when your eye care provider may decline or alter your
contact lens order request. For example:
- If your contact lens prescription is expired, the provider will decline your request for lenses.
- If you are requesting a type or brand of lens that was not originally prescribed for you, the provider will decline to release the prescription.
- If you are requesting an excessive amount of lenses that will likely last you an extended period of time past the prescription expiration date, the provider may alter the order and reduce the quantity requested.
- Some states do not require the provider to release a patient’s prescription to a third party, even with the patient’s permission. If a provider in one of these states does not wish to participate in the program, it is possible that he/she may decline the order.
In all of the above circumstances, you will be notified via email of the status of your order. If the provider approved your prescription but altered the quantity, you will have the option to proceed or cancel the order.
