Hi all,

I'm finally considering ordering contact lenses online, after being a
glasses wearer for about 30 years (I started wearing glasses in third
grade).

I've just been looking around online for daily disposables, and I
notice that the online stores will often say a box contains "90 lenses"
or whatever. This may be a stupid question, but do they mean 90
*pairs* of lenses (i.e. enough for 90 days), or 90 *single lenses*
(i.e., 45 pairs, enough for only 45 days)?

Thanks,
Dave

I think the boxes are sold separately - not everyone has the same rx
for both eyes, so they'd package them singly, by rx.

I think you should expect to have to get 2 sets of boxes - one for each
eye.

One box will contained 90 lenses of the same power. If your eyes
require different powers, 90 pair would mean 2 boxes. If your eye are
the same power, then one box would be 45 pair.

You will, of course, need to be fitted for the lenses by a doctor and
have a valid prescription to order them online. At least in the USA and
if you plan to do so legally, and perhaps more importantly, responsibly.

LB, O.D.
