Did you know that the contact lenses sold by your optician under private labels are the exact same lenses as well-known brands, just repackaged? This practice is common, and it’s important to know that your prescription for these private labels is also valid for the original brands.
To see what your private label contacts are really called, you can use our contact lenses search page to find them, or consult the list below.
What Are Private Label Contact Lenses?
Private label contact lenses are lenses sold by opticians under exclusive brand names, but they are identical to lenses sold under their original names by the manufacturer. The lenses themselves are the exact same in terms of quality, design, and functionality — only the packaging and branding differ.
Why Do Opticians Rebrand Contact Lenses?
Rebranding lenses under private labels allows opticians to create exclusivity and convenience for customers. However, this can also make it harder for customers to recognize that they have the option to purchase the exact same lenses under the original brand name elsewhere, often cheaper.
Can You Use Your Prescription for the Original Brand?
Your prescription for a private label contact lens is valid for the original branded version as well. Since the lenses are identical, there is no need to worry about compatibility when switching to the original brand.
