Not all companies in all countries are quite so rigorous about checking for current valid prescriptions as others.

- detaro 10y agoIn addition, many countries don't have prescription requirements for contact lenses at all, so there is nothing to check.

- detaro 10y agoWhy Yikes? I mean, yes, contacts have a higher risk of getting infections etc compared to glasses, but that's not really fixed by yearly check-ups. And a pair of glasses can be good for 5-10 years if your eyesight is stable. I guess if you just start using them you'd want an expert advising you, making sure everything goes correctly?
- toomanybeersies 10y agoYep, never heard of needing a contact lens prescription to order them before. Here in New Zealand you can just order them online from Canada for cheap. So I suspect Canada is the same.
