Cheap Contacts Online purchased can have its advantages as far as costs go, but for it to be an advantage certain processes or protocols should be followed before you can purchase.
MAKE SURE THE ONLINE PROVIDER IS MEDICALLY CERTIFIED:
We all know that many medical insurances consider contact lenses, whether for corrective vision or cosmetic purposes, as non-covered medical devices, therefore, will not pay for it, so Cheap Contacts Online (CCO) is always a way out if you cannot afford it direct from an optician, optometrist or ophthalmologist.
But even though they might be cheaper these online suppliers have to follow the proper medical procedures when manufacturing, handling and packaging these products.
Being certified means you know the CCO you purchased has been:
MANUFACTURED FROM THE PROPER MATERIAL UNDER STERILE CONDITIONS:
The proper material is semi-permeable which allows the eye to breathe naturally and not starve it from oxygen needed to work properly which causes it to work harder, by pumping more blood into the eyeball just to get the oxygen it needs but in the end, damaging your vision or the eyeball as more blood pumped means more pressure and cause burst veins.
HANDLED AND PACKAGED UNDER STERILE CONDITIONS:
As this is still a medical device it should always be handled like any other medical device, which under sterile and safe conditions. If not, and you purchase this non-sterile product it can cause infections, as your eyeball is not only the supplier of your most important sense, vision, but is one of the most highly sensitive organs which can be damaged permanently if exposed to any germs or bacteria.
YOU MUST ALWAYS BE SUPPLIED WITH PROPER INSTRUCTIONS:
Another important aspect of purchasing contacts whether online or direct from the medical professional, you should always be advised on how to insert your lens, how to remove your lens, where and how you store your lens, and how to care for your lens, especially with sterility aspects, considered. If these aspects are not taught or provided you might end up inserting or removing a sterile product under non-sterile conditions or manner that makes it lose its sterility and thus causing damage to your eyeball and many times permanent damage or loss of vision.
So after going through all these aspects to consider, we can say yes it is safe to purchase CCOs but only if you follow all the strict processes and rules as mentioned above.
