If you’re still heading to the optometrist every time you need contact lenses, it might be time to rethink your routine. New Zealanders can now conveniently order contact lenses online and have them delivered directly to their door—no more phone calls, parking stress, or long queues.

After experiencing the lockdowns caused by COVID-19, many of us have become accustomed to doing all our shopping online, from groceries to dinner deliveries. This shift in lifestyle also extends to contact lenses. Shopping for contact lenses online allows you to place orders at your own pace, without worrying about time. In our busy lives, online shopping has become an essential part of our daily routine.

Shopping online for contact lenses can take just a few minutes, saving you time, petrol, and hassle. Here’s everything you need to know to make the switch with confidence.

Step 1: Have Your Prescription Ready

Before you order, make sure you’ve got your most recent contact lens prescription on hand. You’ll likely need:


Step 2: Check Your Order When It Arrives

When your lenses arrive, don’t open the contact lens box straight away. First, compare the details on the packaging with your prescription or your current lenses. Make sure everything—brand, strength, and fit—matches exactly.

If something’s not right with your order—whether it’s the wrong prescription, missing items, or something just doesn’t look as expected—please contact us using this link and our friendly support team will be happy to help you with a return or exchange.

More Choices, Better Convenience

One of the biggest benefits of shopping online is variety. Whether you’re after daily, fortnightly, or monthly contact lenses, online stores typically stock more than physical clinics.

Keep an eye on our newsletters, social media, and offer pages for great promotions, so you never miss the best time to place an order.

Finding a Trusted Online Contact Lens Retailer

Be cautious of where you buy your lenses. Look for clear contact details, privacy policies, and customer reviews. Google the business and check if they have verified Google or Trustpilot ratings. If a store doesn’t appear to have any online presence or third-party reviews, it’s worth reconsidering your purchase.

Compare Prices and Save

Hand turns dice and changes the word price to value.

Prices can vary significantly between retailers. Use price comparison websites or search for terms like “cheap contact lenses in New Zealand”. Many retailers offer discounts for first-time buyers or newsletter subscribers.

Regular Eye Exams Are Essential

Even if you buy your lenses online, don’t skip your regular eye exams. Your eye health can change over time, and regular check-ups help prevent complications such as corneal ulcers, which may result from infection or dryness.

Symptoms of concern include redness, pain, light sensitivity, or discharge. If you experience any of these, see your optometrist immediately.

Final Thoughts

Yes, ordering contact lenses online is safe, fast, and convenient—as long as you stick with trusted retailers and keep your prescription up to date. Save time, save money, and see clearly—without the in-store hassle.
