The Great White North: The Contact Lens in Canada

Many people prefer to purchase contact lenses from abroad over those available locally, even though those which are bought outside are the same quality or even sometimes inferior. In every country teenagers love to wear imported stuff, and the teenagers in the USA are no exception. While in the USA, they prefer to wear the contact lens in Canada and vice versa.


What is the Difference?

Looking at the market trends you would tend to believe that it is true that the contact lens in Canada is better. However, the truth is that these are actually not different than those available in USA. Maybe they are packaged differently; maybe they are sold cheaper or at a higher cost; maybe they have better discount and promotional offers. But when it comes to the product itself, there is really very little or no difference between the contact lens in Canada and those produced and marketed in USA.


Disadvantages of Imported Lenses

Those who get a pair of imported contacts will be very happy initially to have them. However, if you have bad luck of have any problem with the pair you use, you will find out how disadvantageous it actually is to have them. You will not have anyone who can check and provide you proper advice on how to improve the defect. You will not be able to approach the place from where these were purchased, other than over email or phone, which besides being very cumbersome would bear real practical solutions.

The only choice you would have is to throw them away and get another pair from your local store. Hence, why take the trouble in the first place to obtain a set of contact lens in Canada when you can do this in your place. Not only will you be able to get a good pair of contacts, you will also have the assurance of returns if found damaged by the sales person. You will also have a place to ask advice on how to use it and maintain the lenses so as to be able to use it at its optimum best.

It is not a good idea, hence, purchase contacts from aboard because you cannot know or check whatever defects they can have. You cannot and definitely should not take any chances when it comes to your eyes.
