A2. The expiry dates of the contact lenses vary depending on the brand. They usually vary from 1 year to 5 years. They unusually vary from 5 to 10 years.

A3. 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.

A4. Ezcontactlens obtains its goods from reliable contact lens companies and manufacturers all over the world. All the contact lens boxes are factory sealed and free of defects. The contact lens box (with the barcode) would serve as proof that the contact lenses are authentic. If we still did not manage to convince you, you could verify with the manufacturer to check whether are they authentic. If the manufacturer STILL does not convince you, please seek a counselor for trust issues that may be bothering you.

A5. A contact lens prescription is made up of specific data which we require to fill your order. All of this information is available on the packaging of the contact lenses you are currently wearing, or from your optometrist or optician.

Be sure it contains all the necessary information, including expiry date, and is signed by your eyecare professional.
