FAQ

Q: What is the quantity per box?
A box of lenses contains a pair of lenses for both eyes (2 lenses). Meaning if you want to purchase 1 pair, select quantity "1" to place order. Likewise, select "2" for 2 pairs of lens. 

Q: Do you have different prescription for a single box?

We do not offer different prescriptions in a single box of a pair of lenses for regular non or prescription lenses. Customers would have to purchase 2 boxes of different prescriptions if they have different power/degree for both eyes.

For Toric/Astigmatism lenses, you can select or choose different prescriptions individually/separately for both eyes.

Q: Is an eye exam required before ordering contact lenses? 
No need if you already have a valid prescription. Otherwise, it's recommended to obtain a valid prescription by your Optometrist or Optician before you place your order . If your prescription is still valid, but you are starting to notice some changes in your vision, you should be reexamined. 

Q: Can I get a circle lens if they are a different size and base curve than I'm wearing now? 
Most of our lens base curve is 8.6mm. But not everyone has a 8.6mm bc, but what is usually accepted is a +/- 0.2mm deviation. As in, for 8.6mm bc, you can be 8.4~8.8mm and you should be okay. 
If you are not sure, we suggest you seek advice from your optometrist or eye care specialist.
