ContactsDirect Promo Codes & Coupons

Part of the Group That Owns LensCrafters and EyeMed

ContactsDirect sells prescription contact lenses, daily, monthly, toric and multifocal, from manufacturers including Acuvue, Biofinity and Dailies, alongside cleaning solutions and rewetting drops. It is operated by Luxottica of America, part of EssilorLuxottica, the group behind LensCrafters, Target Optical, Pearle Vision and the EyeMed vision plan, which is why orders can be collected free from a LensCrafters store and why vision benefits apply directly at checkout rather than through a claim form afterwards. Lenses ship in manufacturer-sealed boxes from the same makers supplying every other retailer, and every order requires a valid prescription verified before shipping.

Getting the Prescription Part Sorted First

A contact lens prescription is not the same as a glasses prescription and cannot be substituted for one, because lenses sit directly on the eye and need a base curve and diameter that glasses prescriptions do not carry. It also expires, typically after one or two years depending on your state, and an expired prescription cannot legally be filled. Two routes exist if yours has lapsed. ContactsDirect offers an online vision assessment reviewed by a licensed optometrist in your state, which can issue a renewed prescription if you meet the age and eye-health criteria, and that prescription is yours to use anywhere, not just here. Alternatively, book a full eye examination, which the online assessment does not replace, since it checks your correction rather than the health of your eyes. Whichever route you take, uploading a photo of the prescription at checkout is faster than having your doctor contacted, which adds a verification step before anything ships.
