1-800 Contacts

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of 1-800 contacts? It's a phone number you can call or a website you can visit to order contact lenses.

So let me break it down for you. When people wear glasses but don't want to wear them all the time, they sometimes wear contact lenses instead. These are little plastic circles that you put on your eye to help you see better.

Now, sometimes people want to buy contact lenses but they don't want to go to the eye doctor to get them. That's where 1-800 contacts comes in. They have a special service where you can call them or order online and they will send you the contact lenses you need.

But here's the important part. Before 1-800 contacts will send you any contact lenses, they need to make sure that you have a valid prescription from an eye doctor. That's because contact lenses can be dangerous if not used properly, so they want to make sure you are safe.

Once they confirm your prescription, you can order your contact lenses and they will be delivered right to your doorstep! It's a really convenient service for people who wear contact lenses.
