How to Get Free Color Contacts

Maybe you’ve seen ads saying that you can get free color contacts, but are wondering if it’s too good to be true. What’s the catch? Are they really free? Is it a scam?

First of all, it’s good to be skeptical, especially when anything on the Internet claims to be free. But it’s true; you can get free contacts, if you know the right steps to take. And I am going to show you how!

Taking advantage of free trial offers is a very smart move when it comes to contact lenses. In the same way that a pair of shoes may fit you perfectly but are painful for your friend, different brands of contact lenses fit some people better than others. And the only way to “try on” contacts is to know how to get free samples of contact lenses.

It’s important to realize that the companies who offer you free lenses are offering a free trial pair, in hopes that you will fall in love with their lenses and become a customer for life. These “trial pairs” are the exact same lenses that others pay for.

Technology has improved greatly over the last few years, and what used to be true when it comes to color contacts is not necessarily true anymore.

In the “old days,” if you required a strong prescription or have astigmatism, you couldn’t get fun contact lenses of any kind. These days, however, you have many more options! The best way to find out if you qualify for free color contacts is to see your eye doctor.

You also might be wondering if you can wear colored contact lenses every day; and the answer is “it depends.” If you are interested in the more natural color lenses, then yes, you can wear your lenses every day. If you are interested in the more wacky contact lenses used for Halloween or other theatrical purposes, then it all depends on the lens.

So, you might be wondering, how do I get my free color contacts?

• Do some research on the Internet and narrow down what brands you might be interested in.  Freshlook color contacts are one of the most popular brands for color, but Acuvue is also a favorite brand.  (It definitely helps to compare contact lenses and discover what each has to offer.)

• Look for sites and suppliers that offer contact lens coupons. Read the fine print carefully; some coupons are actually rebates, some are only good for online purchases, and others need to be redeemed at an optometrist.

• If this is your first pair of contact lenses, you need to see an optometrist for a prescription. If you have a current, valid prescription, you might be able to buy contact lenses on line.

• Print out the coupon.

• If you are going through an optometrist, make an appointment with an eye doctor who carries that brand and will honor your coupon.  Be sure to ask first!

• Get your free color contacts from the eye doctor, and see how that brand works for you. If they seem to fit you well, then stick with that brand! Otherwise, keep trying.

By following these steps, you can get your free color contacts and be wearing your new look in no time at all.
