To complete the order, de-select the unaffected eye and add the lens for the affected eye to your shopping cart.
You may want to make separate orders if you are choosing different contact lenses for different eyes. You will need your prescription to complete these orders. You may order contact lenses for other people, like your child, as long as you have their prescriptions.
Your eye prescriber may call Walgreens’ toll-free number to order your contact lenses. If your contact lens prescription has changed, you need to log into your Walgreens account and go to the contact lens center home page to place a new order. Walgreens will have to contact your prescriber for confirmation before the new order is placed.
If you enter an incorrect contact lens prescription, you should notify your prescriber, who can correct the information, or call Walgreens toll-free number.
You can’t place a new order directly if your contact lens prescription has expired. You need to see your optician and get your prescription renewed. You can place a new order once your prescriber has written a new prescription for you. Legally, Walgreens is unable to fill any expired eye prescriptions.
