For years I’ve worn contact lenses almost every single day because I work long shifts in front of a computer and glasses started giving me headaches after a few hours. The problem is that lately everything has become ridiculously expensive where I live. My local optical shop raised prices again this year and I nearly paid the equivalent of two utility bills just for lenses and a basic eye exam. A friend of mine recently told me that EZContacts is apparently one of the biggest online retailers for contact lenses, prescription glasses, and designer sunglasses. I had heard the name before but never actually ordered from them. Normally I’m extremely cautious when it comes to ordering anything medical-related online because I had a bad experience years ago with another site that sent me the wrong lens strength and customer support basically disappeared afterward. What made me start seriously considering it was the fact that I’ve been wanting to finally buy a decent pair of sunglasses with prescription lenses too. I drive a lot for work, especially early mornings, and sunlight has become brutal lately. At the same time, I don’t want to spend hundreds blindly and regret it afterward. The thing is, once I started researching, I found mixed opinions everywhere. Some people say online eyewear stores are lifesavers and way cheaper than physical stores, while others talk about shipping delays, prescription verification issues, or frames not fitting correctly.
Some reviews sounded very positive, especially regarding pricing and brand selection, but I still can’t decide whether ordering contacts and prescription sunglasses online is actually worth the risk or if I should just keep paying local store prices for peace of mind. Also, if anyone has recommendations for specific lens brands that worked well for long computer use, I’m open to suggestions. My eyes have been getting more irritated lately after 8–10 hour screen sessions and I’m starting to wonder if I need to switch brands entirely.
