Question 1

Can you take a nap in Boston XO contacts?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot nap in Boston XO lenses. As Boston XO are not approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not advisable either, and it can lead to eye-health complications. Napping for any length of time with contacts not designed for such an environment is risky. Choose a lens that is approved for overnight wear and seek guidance from your ECP if this is a requirement for you.

Question 2

How many boxes of Boston XO do I need to buy to last 12 months?

Accepted Answer

You need 1 box(es) of Boston XO contacts to last you for 12 months. These amounts pertain to a single eye, so to cover both eyes, double these amounts.

Question 3

Question 6

How long does it take to adjust to wearing Boston XO contacts?

Accepted Answer

If you're wearing Boston XO for the first time, it can take several days to a couple of weeks for you to adjust to wearing them on a daily basis. Contacts vary from brand to brand in terms of their shape, material, breathability, wetting agents used, and other factors, thus requiring an adjustment period. Rigid/hard lenses can sometimes take longer to adjust to, whereas most contacts in use today employ a soft form of silicone that is typically easy to adjust to.

Question 7

What if I don't have my prescription? Can I still order Boston XO contacts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can still order Boston XO if you don't have a hard copy of your RX/prescription on hand. As long as you have a valid contact lens prescription (which will be on file at your ECP's) you can still place an order with us at Lens.com. Choose your lens, provide us with the contact info of your ECP and we'll do the rest. If your ECP is unable to respond to our request for the info needed in a timely manner, your lenses will automatically be shipped out to you. This is the process put in place by the FTC to ensure your rights as a consumer.

Question 8

Can I use my eyeglass prescription for Boston XO contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for Boston XO lenses. Your eyeglass prescription only has the power part of the contact lens prescription. In addition to the power, the proper base curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) are needed to order contact lenses. Contact lenses come in different sizes and must be fit to your eye by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. As a replacement center, we can only sell you contact lenses that you are already wearing successfully. So ultimately eyeglass prescriptions are not the same as a prescription for Boston XO contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.

Question 9

What Boston XO rebates are available?

Accepted Answer

Boston XO contacts are regularly eligible for rebates exclusively on Lens.com.

What is the water content of Boston XO?

Accepted Answer

Boston XO contacts have a water content of 0%. The higher the water content in a contact lens, the more oxygen reaches the cornea during lens wear. There are other factors at play however so water content alone isn't enough of a factor to judge a lens' performance for a given person. High water content lenses can feel comfortable initially but may dry out over time, but this is not always the case. So it's good to know about the water content of a lens, but it's not everything. Consult your ECP to find out the best options for you.

Daily disposable contacts cannot be stored and must be discarded at the end of each day. Even if you wear them for only a few hours one day, you still need to discard them after that use and wear a fresh pair of contacts the next day.
