If you are not a patient of Oxia Optical and if you don’t have a copy of your prescription on hand, you can still order contact lenses from us. After you submit your order we will contact you to verify or obtain your prescription information.

To find the correct information for your contact lens order, just look on one of your contact lens boxes. Your contact lens box will have a brand name and your prescription information.

We are required by law to verify your prescription with your health care professional. This helps to ensure that we provide you with the correct contact lenses in your order.
