Free Contact Lenses

I've been wearing contact lenses about 2-3 years now. They're great. Before that, I had glasses for a year and I really didn't like them. They'd get so dirty all the time and I felt like my face couldn't breathe... which I know that sounds strange but that's how I felt.

When I was fitted for my first pair of contacts by my eye doctor, we went through a few sets of free contact lenses or "trial lenses." I have astigmatism, so I was fitted with toric lenses. Torics have small weights at the bottom of them, so they had to get those at the right angle so that the contact would align correctly in my eyes. We probably went through 3 sets of free, trial contacts until we got the right ones.

There's a lot of competition out there for contact lenses, so these manufacturers will give people free contact lenses for them to try for 30 days - even if you don't need toric lenses. They want you to use their brand and order from them. So that's what you should do. You should try contacts from different manufacturers and see how they work. There might be a brand that you like better than another brand.

Contact lenses today are very high tech and there have been a number of advances in contact lenses recently. So check with your eye doctor and see if you can try different one and get some free contact lenses. Why not?
