If you are thinking of getting color contact lenses but aren’t sure which color will suit you, then the solution is to find a contact lens company that offers free color contact lenses.
It used to be that contact lenses lasted about as long as a pair of eyeglasses but today colored contact lenses and contact lenses in general are disposable. This is why it makes it easy for companies to offer trial color contact lenses. It does not cost the company a lot of money, in fact companies that offer sample colored contacts do it for the same reason that cosmetic companies offer samples and other companies such as those that make household products also offer samples. It is a marketing strategy. If you try the colored contacts and like them, the company hopes that you will purchase more colored contacts from them and become a regular customer.
One thing to keep in mind when thinking about getting a free trial color contact lenses is that they do not last as long as the regular color contact lenses the company sells. In addition, sample lenses aren’t meant as a replacement for contacts that are used on an extended basis for corrective purposes as they do not improve vision. The purpose of taking advantage of trial colored contact lenses is to see how various colors may look in your eyes.
There are some other things to keep in mind about free lenses. Read the fine print to find out if there are any hidden charges. It is not unusual for a company to offer free contact lenses in exchange for the customer paying a hefty shipping charge. Some companies charge $15-$20 for shipping and handling which is not much less than buying a new pair of colored contact lenses. This still might not be a bad idea if you are planning to buy from the company in question since they will often credit your next purchase in the amount that the shipping cost you.
You should also realize that even though free trial colored contacts are for cosmetic purposes you will still need a prescription from your doctor or optometrist in order to get your sample colored contacts. Another thing to remember is that the free color contact lenses that companies give out do not last anywhere as long as the colored contact lenses that you buy. Most colored lenses are meant to last about 90 days before you need to throw them out and replace them with new lenses. Free trial color contacts however have a much shorter lifespan and you may need to replace them after one or two weeks.
Now that you know that a prescription is required even to a receive free color contact lenses you need to understand the rest of the process. The first thing you should do is to look at websites of reputable contact lens companies. On almost all of these websites you will find an ad offering you a free trial pair of contact lenses. Click on the link and you’ll be taken to a form where you are required to fill in your personal information. The company will subsequently e-mail or snail mail you a certificate which you can redeem at participating eye doctors or optometrists for a free pair of colored lenses.
With your trial pair of colored contact lenses in hand, try them out by wearing them for several hours and by checking how the color looks in different types of lighting. You may need to try several different colors to find one that suits you but in the end, if you used free color contact lenses to determine your color you will have saved a lot of money.
