1800contacts...? Its been a while since I've heard that jingle. But their site says they are fully stocked.
I've ordered from this site as recently as a year ago without a prescription:

1-800 contacts says they have to verify the prescription with your doctor.
Just ordered some contacts from contactlensking.com. I listed the contact Dr. However, in the email to verify the RX, they said that they contacted my Dr and would give them 8 hours to respond. If they don't respond, they will send out the contacts. This is their SOP (even before corona). Good Luck

Thanks! Got them ordered.

This.
Also, if you've ordered from 1-800-contacts before, run out of contacts and your prescription is up. You can do a free contact fitting from your phone. It's only a couple minutes where you take a few pics of your eyes and do a vision test where you're 10 ft from your phone yelling out the letters.
Saved me $80 and a trip to the optometrist
Reminds me to do a refill myself. Running low.
My scrip was expired but eye doctor okayed 1 box from 1-800-contacts.... which'll last me about 6 mos.
I've done the same with 1800 contacts... renewing prescriptions is a racket. I've had the same strength contacts for over twenty years, why was I forced to waste time and money annually.
I just reordered contacts a few weeks ago and tried to go through 1-800-contacts but needed my script. When I emailed my Dr. they ended up just shipping refills to my house for less than what I would have paid. Maybe it would be worth contacting your Dr. about refills.
Use this as a lesson learned. Always get a copy of your Rx even if you order from your optometrist.
I always get them to email it and save the email. This way if I ever need to order contacts or glasses from somewhere else I can use that pdf that's on their letterhead to order.

Get them From the UK.. https://www.visiondirect.co.uk/us-contact-lenses - Another option.
I recently had refractive surgery and have a handful of -7.00 in BCS if anyone is really badly in need.
Do these online places take vision insurance or is it all out of pocket?
have used visiondirect for years, solid company, usually arrive within 2 weeks of order. Look out for coupon codes, especially for 1st time usersTheHaus81 said:

The last thing I'm doing during a pandemic is putting my finger in my eye!
thats fine. the rest of us who understand washing your hands with soap and water, then using a cleaning solution for the contacts to rest in will continue to do so.AggieChemist said:

Opticontacts - they ask for script info, contact info, etc but don't check it 
Been ordering for 5 years with expired script... zero issues and cheaper than most.

If you have a paper copy of your prescription and it is still current, you can email them a photocopy and they will fill the prescription.Ogre09 said:

"Upload a pic of your prescription, enter the info manually, or we can contact your eye doctor for you"
If your prescription has expired, their site also offers an on-line renewal exam, which is weird.
To be fair, putting my finger in my eye was the last thing I'd do before the pandemic, too.Shiner Bock said:thats fine. the rest of us who understand washing your hands with soap and water, then using a cleaning solution for the contacts to rest in will continue to do so.AggieChemist said:

I'm running out of contacts and can't get ahold of my eye doctor to reorder. I'm super near-sighted (-9.5/-10) and hate wearing my coke bottle glasses. Any ideas on where to order? Or can someone out there hook me up?
Come at me optometrist bro.
My wife is an OD but she's also not working as the office is closed. Let me ask her though rq.

If you or anyone has your updated prescription I can get an order for you. 2 box minimum with no shipping cost. We're closed but I go to the office every few days to check the mail and see if we have messages from patients that are in the same boat as you.
This is when I finally get to feel good about wearing my daily disposable contacts for 3-5 days at a time so my one year supply lasts for about four years!
Yes! I wear Toric as well, much cheaper.
This thread got answered on the second reply. How is it still alive?
