Can I order lenses without a prescription?

Asked 2 months ago
Ordering lenses without a prescription can be challenging and is generally not recommended. Most reputable lens retailers, including LensShopper, require a valid prescription to ensure that the lenses provide the correct vision correction and fit the customer's needs. This is essential for both the health of the eyes and the effectiveness of the lenses. A prescription typically includes necessary details such as the type and strength of lenses required, which is crucial for accurate fitting. If a customer does not have a current prescription, it is advisable to schedule an eye exam with a qualified optometrist or ophthalmologist who can provide an updated prescription. For specific policies regarding prescription requirements and any potential alternatives, customers may want to refer to the information available on the LensShopper website.
