A member asked:
Is it possible to buy contact lenses online without a doctors permission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need a Rx: No, any reputable sight will follow established laws and will not dispense contact lenses without a verification of a valid prescription from a licensed eye care professional. A contact lens is indeed a medical device and the appropriate fitting, care, and assessment should be done by a professional.
