It is ILLEGAL for the website to dispense you the contacts without an up to date prescription. If they are doing this for you, it is sketchy and you should get them somewhere else.

where are you from? I'm just wondering because I didn't think it is illegal for a website to sell contacts without a prescription in Canada but I know its required in the states. Most of the American sites I come across require prescription info but I have never seen that on any Canadian based site.

Completely agree with you on the not switching contacts without seeing an optom tho, that doesn't seem like a good idea. But if you are already prescribed you can match up the same exact box you have to what you are buying so no worries there just massive savings.
