Free Contact Lenses

There are a lot of different brands of contact lenses available for you to purchase and usually each brand will have free trial contacts that you will be able to try to see if you like them.

You can even get free color contact lenses. So what colors do you want to try? You can try several brands, so why not try a few different colors to see what you like and what looks the best on you? You can't share them with friends, but you can ask them how they look on you. It's fun to change your appearance, which I guess it's why they also call them cosmetic colored contacts. It seems that many people now are trying this. You can either enhance the natural color of your eyes or go to a totally new color. Why not?

How to Get Contact Lenses for Free

You maybe have seen the offers and are wondering how people are getting contact lenses for free. Let me take a minute and briefly explain how you can also take advantage of offers for free contacts.

The way it works is, the manufacturers of different brands of contact lenses do not frequently advertise nationally on places like TV or the radio. You do see some ads in magazines and sometimes commercials on TV but they've chosen to instead put that advertising into offering free, trials of their product for you to sample. This works well in a number of ways. First, they get their product into your hands (or into your eyes - depending on how you want to look at it - sorry for the puns). Secondly, you get to try out various contact lenses and see which ones you like the best. You may be using one particular brand now but after trying a different brand, you may find that they fit better and are easier to take in and out. You don't know until you try, right?

So offers for free, trial contact lenses benefit both you and the manufacturers of contact lenses. It's a win-win situation and you get to save money on contacts while you are sampling the trial pairs. So find all the offers that you can - for sure. In doing that, you're sure to find the best ones for you.

If your contact lens prescription isn't up to date, you'll need to go see your eye doctor. It's good to do that anyway, so no big deal. You're not going to be able to get free contacts unless you have a current prescription because it does cost money for the manufacturers to make and send them to you. They're going to need to know that the ones they're sending are ones that are right for you and ones that you will need in the future. So make sure you do that.

You can, and probably should, first find offers for free, trial contacts before you go see your eye doctor. Find offers online and fill out whatever information they need so that you get the information on how to order them. Once you've had your eye exam, you'll then be ready and will know how to order your free contact lenses. Go ahead and order all the trial pairs at once. You can keep them all around until you're ready to try the next brand.

As you evaluate each brand, you will want to take notes on how each one feels to you. This will help you make your final decision later.

Also, if any of the trial contacts don't feel right, you should stop wearing them. Trust what your eyes are telling you.

Save Money on Contact Lenses

If you're like me and you wear contacts, you know that wearing them can get expensive. When you factor in the appointment with the optometrist, the lenses themselves, all the contact cleaning solution, cases, eye glasses and so on, the bill really adds up. So here are a number of ways to save money on contacts.

First, when you go for your next appointment, check out the prices of other places. If you normally see a doctor at his office, find out if going to a clinic inside a department store is cheaper. Places like Sears and JC Penny have optical departments that do a great job and have licensed eye doctors on staff. You may be able to save money by going there.

Next, when you get your prescription and order your contacts, you should first order free, trial pairs of contact lenses. When you do this, you can try different brands to see which ones you like the best. You can order many sets from different manufacturers, so you will be saving money on the lenses themselves just by ordering these free contact lenses.

Then instead of paying for your appointment, contact lenses, cleaning solution and cases yourself, see if you can use tax free money in the form of a Health Savings Account (HSA). With your HSA, the money for this account is put there before taxes, so you do not pay income tax on it and you get to use it for a variety of health related expenses - not just for your eye care.

And then you want to look for sales that happen from time to time. Many national chains and department store optical departments will run sales every few months. With those sales, you can either find discounts on eye care, a free eye doctor appointment, free eyeglass frames or other deals and discounts. Look for email newsletter lists that you can sign up for and they may send you special offers for doing that.

Conclusion

To review, you can search for the best prices on eye doctor / optometrist appointments. You can get free, sample pairs of contact lenses to save money there. You can use your HSA to pay for all your eye related expenses and then you can watch for sales and special offers. All of these things together could save you literally a few hundred dollars a year, which is money in your pocket!
