How to Buy Contact Lenses Online
Once you have a prescription from your eye doctor, you can buy contact lenses at Walgreens. Click on the lenses prescribed by your doctor to access the product page. Use the drop-down boxes to enter the information directly from your prescription and then click the “Add to cart” button. Next, select the shipping method that you prefer from the available options and click the “Proceed to checkout” button. You'll then be asked to provide your optometrist's contact information. Once your order is complete, the Walgreens customer service team will verify your prescription with your doctor and then fill your order based on your specifications.
Start with Your Doctor
The first step to getting contact lenses is a visit to an optometrist. During your appointment, your doctor will determine how much correction your eyes require. Your prescription will indicate which level of power you’ll need. Many people require a different strength for each eye, but you may have the same prescription for both eyes.
Your optometrist will also perform a contact lens fitting to determine the contact size you’ll need. The prescription you receive will include the diameter size that’s appropriate for the width of your eye. You'll also see a base curve measurement, which indicates how curved your eye is. The optometrist will discuss your needs with you and then recommend a specific contact lens brand and type for you.

After your first order, you can use the “Reorder Contact” Lens option to quickly buy lenses using the same prescription used for your first order.
To get the most benefits from your contacts, you’ll need to follow the replacement schedule recommended by your doctor, and that means staying stocked up on your prescribed lenses. Walgreens takes the hassles out of ordering and reordering contacts. You can shop by brand or lens type to find your contacts quickly and then place your order directly online. We'll handle the rest and then ship your lenses right to your door (or to a store near you), so you'll have fresh contacts ready when it's time to replace your current lenses.
Types of Contact Lenses
- Daily contact lenses are designed to be worn when you are awake and removed before you go to bed, while extended wear contacts may be left in place for days at a time and removed only for cleaning. Many daily wear contacts are disposable. These lenses are worn for a day, week or month and then replaced with a fresh set. Generally, disposable contacts are easy to care for, making them a popular option.
- Toric contacts are specially designed to meet the needs of people who have an astigmatism, which make it difficult to focus due to an irregularly shaped cornea or eye lens.
- Colored contacts change or intensify the color of your eyes while correcting your vision as needed.
- Multifocal Lenses help with both near and distance vision and vary in power across the surface.
- Monthly Disposables are designed to be worn every day for up to a month. They’re suitable for people who don’t experience discomfort from wearing the same contact lenses for extended periods.
- Weekly Disposables are designed to be worn every day for up to one or two weeks.
