Default Serious Question Please look here people! :D
I thank the last replier for answering my question. But i was just wondering if i have a prescription for clear contacts, but i want colored, can i enter the pin number of the prescription online and just order the colored contacts from there? Because i keep arguing with my optometrist about colored and im getting sick of it. If there is a way, please give me the link! thank you. :]

We meet again.

Let me repeat that a good on-line contact lens seller will call your doctor to make sure the prescription you gave them is correct. It's like when you're little and you tell your babysitter that having candy before dinner is okay. She says "Let me ask your Mom and make sure." It's good to double check.

So no, you can't use a prescription for clear contact lenses to order colored. Sorry. You will have to either convince your doctor to give you a prescription for the colored contacts you want, or find a new doctor.
Or you can just forget about wearing colored contacts, but what fun is that?

I would recommend finding a new doctor. If you don't know how, try http://www.advocatehealth.com and try the "Quick Doctor Search." Put in "Ophthalmology - General" for "Specialty", then your zip code and insurance company and viola! you have a list of eye doctors in your area that will accept your insurance.

Good luck.

I looked around and I agree that the Advocate Health site is the most useful. I tried a few others and they just didn't look right and/or work right. One of them showed me a map of "all" available eye doctors, but the closest one they showed on the map was like 20 miles away. I know there are eye doctor's offices closer than that, including my own. Others just looked sloppy with crummy graphics and even misspelled words. You don't want to find an eye doctor with the help of a Webmaster who not only can't spell, but can't even use Spell Check. So stick with the Advocate site.

I think you should find an eye doctor who will give you a prescription for the contacts you want--unless there's some health reason why you can't wear color contacts.

Why does your optometrist argue with you about colored contact lenses? Does he or she refuse to prescribe them for you? Did they say why?

If you want to order colored contact lenses, then you need a prescription for them. If your eye doctor doesn't want to prescribe color contacts to you (and I don't see why they would do that) then go to a different doctor.

Thanks for agreeing with me, Droopy. You don't have to be a TV cop to appreciate back-up.

You said it, Adric. It's usually a good idea to have a Plan B or even a Plan C.
