eye care

I’ve been wearing glasses since the age of 9. I remember being warned by my mom that if I keep reading in dim light, I’d need glasses. That only egged me on, because I thought wearing glasses would be neat. I got the glasses, and discovered that wearing them daily wasn’t so neat after all. It didn’t help that my mom picked them out, and the plastic frames looked like something that belonged on a 90 year old woman. You can see why I was THRILLED to be allowed to start wearing contacts at the age of sixteen. By that time, my vision had gotten a lot worse, and I couldn’t go without wearing glasses. I was nervous about switching to contacts (and volunteering to stick a contact lens into my eye, daily) but once I made the switch, there was no stopping me. Back then, if you needed contacts, you went to your eye doctor and paid too much for him to order them on your behalf. Now, with the internet to help you out, you can cut out the middleman (the doctor) and order your contacts online, with the help of websites like ACLens.com.

They don’t just sell contacts either - they provide total support. Maybe you need some advice about laser surgery, or switching brands of contacts? Check out their contact lens forum for the answers to those questions and many more. In fact, there are 30,000 messages on their forums, so chances are, if you have a burning question, it WILL get answered! Or perhaps you want to ask an eye doctor about a problem you’re having…but your local eye doctor can’t fit you into his schedule for a month? Not a problem, because you can Ask The Doctor and get a quick response. I really love that this site goes to such lengths to help contact lens wearers take care of their eyes!
