About Orders

If you don't hear from us after 24 hours after submitting your queries via our contact us form or emailing direct to us, please check your e-mail spam or junk filter folder for our reply first.

There are numerous times when user didn't receive our reply e-mail due their high mailbox spam filter settings.

Some email service providers are notorious for filtering out what they consider to be spam without notification. You don't get a chance to even tell the service how wrong they are, and the sender gets no notice that their email was never delivered.

You may prevent this by doing the below:-

  • You may add our e-mail address "customer.care@contactlenshouse.com" to your address book on your desktop software (such as outlook orthunderbird) and web based mail service (such as gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail or aol mail)
  • If your email service or program has the ability, add the sender to a "whitelist", or set up rules that allow you to say "email from this sender should never be marked as spam"./li>
  • Examine the contents of your junk mail folder looking for false positives and be sure to click on the "Not Spam" button, or your email's equivalent, for every message that is not spam.
  • Check to see if you have any filters set up. Filters can automatically move incoming mail to other places in your mail account. Please check the 'Filters' tab of your mail Settings to verify your settings, even if you don't think you've set any up. Make sure you don't have filters that are deleting your mail, or causing messages to skip your inbox.
  • And of course if your "security suite" is interfering with your email, try to check the settings in that security suite too.

Depending on what kind of contact lenses you wear and how much protein your eyes deposit on your contacts. While cleaning them does remove some protein, it can still build up on your lenses and make them uncomfortable. That's why the longer you wear lenses before replacing them, the more likely you are to need a protein remover. For example, if you wear disposables, you probably won't need one, but if you replace your lenses about once a year, you definitely will. Products for removing protein include enzymatic cleaner and daily protein removal liquids.
