If you’ve been following my Instagram stories for the past few days then I’m sure you’ve seen my rant over my broken glasses. So last month Reese stepped on my glasses and broke them. I normally keep a backup pair but yeah, she broke those too (major side eye). I’m usually a glasses girl however when I travel it’s just become a habit to swap my glasses for contacts.

I was going to put off ordering until after I came back from an upcoming trip since I figured there was no way I would get them in time. But, I was wrong yet again, 1-800 Contacts offers affordable overnight shipping so I was able to place my order on a Wednesday and by Thursday afternoon they were in my mailbox. So, here’s how it works: Online Contact Lens Exam
Step One – Download the App (Available on the Android and iOS marketplace)
Step Two – Take Your Online Contact Lens Exam
Step Three – Upload Your Previous Prescription
This is an amazing option for those who already wear contacts however if you are new to contacts or your prescription is really old, you’ll need to go in for a regular exam. At the end of your ExpressExam, they will ask you to upload your past prescription so make sure you have that available. If you don’t have your prescription handy, no big deal, just enter your doctors’ name and number and they will call them for you.
Once you’ve completed the exam and uploaded your prescription information you then get to choose your contacts. They have a wide range to choose from and the prices were really affordable. They offer several options for shipping however since I needed mine like yesterday lol, I selected overnight shipping and it was under $20. Once you select your contacts, you’ll get an email saying your prescription is being verified however I got my approval in a matter of minutes and I did it at 10 pm.
When my contacts arrived they were perfect and so was my prescription. If you don’t have time to squeeze another appointment into your already busy schedule, 1-800 Contacts’ ExpressExam is the perfect solution. It’s easy to do, super fast and kinda fun. Online Contact Lens Exam
