Where Can You Get Free Contact Lens Trials?

Thinking of getting contact lenses for the first time or switching brands? A great way to try contact lenses before making a final decision is by getting a free trial pair. However, a getting a free pair may not always be the best option for new contact lens wearers as it usually takes time to get comfortable with wearing contacts. Even then a free pair doesn’t hurt.

But before you get your free trial, you’ll probably need an eye test and you can get those for free as well. Free eye tests are offered periodically by some large well-known retail chains and it would be wise to select which place you actually go to quite carefully. Vision is an extremely important aspect of all our lives and eye care is not something you should take lightly. So make sure the eye care provider you choose is well recognized, reliable and reputable.

Most large contact lens manufactures provide free trial options, depending on which part of the world you belong to. Johnsons and Johnson, manufacturers of the popular brand Acuvue, CibaVision, manufacturers of the popular brand Air Optix, Bausch and Lomb, manufacturers of the popular brand PureVision 2 and several other manufacturers all provide free trials to their new customers residing in the United States. In fact wearers of colored, non-prescription contact lenses can also get a free trial pair from Freshlook.

The process of obtaining a free pair of contact lenses is simple enough. All you have to do is answer a few questions in a form, fill out your contact details and the pair of contact lenses or a certificate for a free trial gets shipped to your specified address. For example with the Air Optix free trial page questions and details related to the type of lenses you wear, what brand you currently use, how often you wear contacts, duration of wear, date of birth and email are required to be filled out and you’re done.

So why do contact lens manufacturers provide free contact lens trials? In exchange for the valuable information you’re providing them about wearing patterns, which brand you use, whether you suffer from eye problems like astigmatism and other important aspects of contact lens marketing and manufacturing. Additionally, the possibility of obtaining a new repeat customer is an added bonus and a free pair of contact lenses is probably a low cost to pay for that business. The advertising dollars spent on obtaining new customers would be far greater.
