• Do I need a copy of my prescription to order contact lenses?

  No. Just give us your eye doctor's name and phone number and we'll verify your prescription for you. If you do have a copy of your prescription, you can upload, email, or fax it to us. Federal law requires your eye care provider to give you a copy of your prescription, but it's not required to place an order with us.

  If your prescription is expired, Lens.com offers a convenient online vision test you can take from home.

• How does Rx prescription verification work?

  By law, we must verify your prescription with your eye care provider. We can do this in two ways:

  1. You fax us a copy of your prescription, or
  2. You provide your doctor's name and phone number so we can contact them directly.

  Your provider has 8 business hours to respond. If they don't, we'll assume your prescription is valid and proceed with your order. Remember, your eye care provider must give you a copy of your prescription-use it to get our great prices!

• Will my vision insurance pay for contact lenses?

  Lens.com is considered an out-of-network provider by most major vision insurers. If your plan covers out-of-network purchases, you can order from us, then submit your invoice and a claim form to your insurer for reimbursement. Benefit details vary, so check with your insurance provider if you're unsure about coverage.

  To submit, please visit our out-of-network vision claim form page.

  Lens.com is not affiliated with any insurance company and cannot guarantee reimbursement. We do our best to keep these forms updated-let us know if you find a more current version. If you have questions, contact our Customer Service team or your insurer.
