How To Get Free Trial Contact Lenses

So, you are looking for free samples of contact lenses? Perhaps you saw a commercial that said "visit our website for a coupon to receive free samples of contact lenses." Or, "see your eye care provider today for your free pair of so and so lenses."

While this a great way for lens manufacturers to have you try their brand of contact lenses, most contact lens fitters do not require such coupons.

In order to get free samples of contact lenses, that particular lens must still be fit to your eye. Therefore you must still visit your eye care specialist. A properly fit soft contact lens must center correctly, move slightly with a blink, match the contour of your eye, and correct your vision. Any lens that does not meet all those minimum criteria does not fit. So why bother with some free samples of contact lenses that won't work for you?

Of course, using your free trial certificate is not as simple as redeeming a coupon at the grocery store. Because the contact lenses are generally prescription lenses, you will need to have a contact lens prescription to get the free pair, which means scheduling an eye exam. Some certificates even specify that the free pair can only be used in conjunction with an eye exam, while some optometrists will only honor the certificates with new prescriptions. It is important to make sure the doctor you choose accepts the certificates prior to trying to use one.

Once you have the certificate, make an appointment with your eye doctor, to get your prescription and your free trial contact lens. Be sure you ask prior to booking to make certain that your eye doctor accepts these free trial contact lens certificates.

Finally, no two pairs of eyes are alike. In fact, one person can have two completely different lens needs, such as one spherical and one toric. In cases where different types, or even different brands, of contact lenses are needed, experimenting with the lenses can become expensive. Free contact lenses make it possible to try different lenses without breaking the bank.
