Is it Illegal to buy contact lens without a Prescription?

in #life7 years ago

In our great land of the willfully exploited, to many of us just take for granted that we know the laws of the land and fail to research the legal does and don't.
However, there are some us that will do this research and will share our findings with the rest.
How many of us that wears contact lens or eye glasses take the time to research the legality of purchasing and the sells of these medical devices?
What my research has discovered is that it not illegal for us persons of the U.S., to buy prescription contact lens or eye glass in the U.S. without a prescription. *1

However, companies that are selling these medical devices are regulated by FTC and FDA. So these companies here in the U.S. must follow these laws in order to be consider "legitimate." *2

What if you don't want to get an examination every year just to find out that your sight has remained the same, and thus your prescription would remain the same?

Well, if you want to buy these medical devices from companies from within the U.S., then you are out of luck.

I was able to find a company that does sell prescription contact lens and glass to U.S. citizens.
Not only does this company offer these medical devices, they will offer them not needing a current prescription. If you are one that knows your previous contact lens or eye glasses prescription, this company will fill your order with this prescription and does not need a signature from your eye care professional like most other companies require.
How awesome is that.??

And the really great part is , the cost of these product are 50% to 75% the cost that you would pay here in the us.
So how do I know this? I bought some contacts from this company a week ago.
The products that I purchased were named brand as well.
