子どもが中高生になると、メガネからコンタクトレンズへの切り替えが増えます。理由はファッションや運動の妨げなど。しかし、長期的に高額な費用がかかることも。購入方法として病院で診察を受けてから購入する方法やオンラインで購入する方法があります。眼科医の診断や処方箋を受けて購入することが重要であり、コンタクトレンズ専門店やオンラインでも安心して購入できる方法が提示されています。視力検査や購入の注意点についても言及されています。
When children become junior high and high school students, more of them switch from glasses to contact lenses. There are several reasons for wearing glasses, such as for fashion or because glasses get in the way during exercise. However, the cost can become high over time if purchased continuously. Have you ever thought about purchasing them at a cheaper price?
“When my son entered high school, we switched from glasses to contact lenses. Normally, you would go to the hospital for a doctor’s examination and then purchase the medication, but I heard it’s cheaper to get a prescription and buy them online or at a specialty store. How do you buy contact lenses for your child?”
Since I used to wear contact lenses every day before, I thought it would be good to save on the costs associated with contact lenses. For a family like the Cartel family, the process would involve going to the doctor once a month to purchase a month’s supply, which can be a bit burdensome in terms of time and effort, in addition to the economic burden. Let’s think together about whether to continue with the current situation or find a way to make it easier.
Where can you buy contact lenses?
Where and how do you always purchase contact lenses? Let’s take a look at the posts by contributors and moms in the Mamastar community.
We received an examination at the hospital and then purchased them.
If you have seen a poster case like this one, you will know that it is useful to have both the examination and purchase of contact lenses done at the same eye clinic. However, the price of contact lenses may be higher at an eye clinic than when purchased from a contact lens specialty store or online.
Please purchase from a contact lens specialty store.
Have you ever seen a contact lens specialty store in a shopping mall? Many stores are affiliated with eye clinics on the premises or nearby, where you can undergo an examination and then return to the store to purchase the lenses. The benefit of this pattern is that you have a wide variety of lens types and price ranges, and there are also campaigns where you can purchase them at a discount.
We will receive a prescription from the eye doctor and purchase them online.
Even outside of eye clinics, you can purchase contact lenses with a prescription. Buying them online can sometimes be much cheaper, so it’s worth considering purchasing them there.
Purchasing contact lenses without a prescription
Depending on the manufacturer or product of the contact lenses, you may be able to purchase them online or in stores without a prescription if you have a prescription. This way, once you purchase contact lenses, you can continue purchasing them for many years without seeing an eye doctor. This can reduce the time and cost of seeing a doctor, and you can buy whatever you want. You can order online 24 hours a day and specify a pickup time. It’s very convenient.
Until you can manage it yourself, we recommend purchasing them after consulting a doctor.
In response to the contributor’s question, mothers recommended consulting an eye doctor before purchasing. Let’s see the reasons for this.
The importance of receiving a health checkup
When purchasing under the supervision of an eye doctor, time constraints and economic burdens are always a concern. However, if you continue to purchase contact lenses without a doctor’s supervision or prescription, there is a risk of developing eye problems that could have been avoided. Since contact lenses are inserted directly into the eye, there is a possibility of directly leading to eye diseases, disorders, or troubles. If these are discovered early and treatment is started, it can be easily cured, and even if the frequency changes, you can receive treatment immediately, outweighing the disadvantages with advantages.
Gaining peace of mind
The contributor expressed concern about the lack of a significant difference between the actual price and the in-store price, raising questions about potential risks. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to maintain the current situation to gain peace of mind? After your child becomes independent, they may decide what to do on their own, but the parents still have the final say. In that case, it might be better to consider a little security.
Seek out eye clinics that offer tests and prescriptions, as well as easy-to-purchase eye clinics or stores.
Currently, colored contact lenses are commonly sold in places like cosmetic counters and general stores. Considering this, it may not be surprising to purchase regular contact lenses without a prescription online or in-store. However, I believe there are significant benefits to consulting an eye doctor for a prescription before purchasing.
The post author mentioned the drawback of only being able to buy one month’s supply at a time, so if that issue is resolved, the current method should be fine. Check with major contact lens specialty stores or eye clinics that handle contact lenses and find a store where you can easily make a purchase!
