Is there any website where i can order contact lens without need doctor's approval?

Likely: Even though it is illegal to dispense contact lenses without a prescription in the United States, I have had many patients who were able to obtain them through the internet without a prescription. I do not recommend this practice. There is a reason contact lenses require a prescription: they provide a risk to your eyes.
