Where To Buy Crizal Lenses In Canada?

Can you buy contact lenses without a prescription in Canada?

  • Answer:

    You still need an eye examination so that you know your prescription.  But once you know that, you can order on line in Canada. http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/contact-lenses Just this weekend we were away and my daughter lost a lens.  I went to the nearest shop and asked if they would supply a pack of daily wear lenses if I gave them a prescription.  (I would have phoned Vancouver to get them to fax the details.)   I was surprised when the answer was only "maybe" and they seemed to mean "probably not".  Because the practitioner had not seen my daughter in person.  I gave up at that point.  Their attitude seemed unnecessarily stiff-necked to me.  Surprisingly, we found the lens later, so I didn't have to go back.

Agree, but to clarify you can only order contact lenses without a prescription online from Canada if you live in Canada but not the US.  At least that's the case for http://clearlycontacts.ca referenced here which is owned by Coastal Contacts.  While there are some websites in Canada that will ship to the US without prescription verification it is not a common process.  This site provides some more detailed information and links related to http://www.contactlensespedia.com/contact-lenses-prescriptions in both Canada and the US.
