What are the advantages of using New Era Optical Online?

There are many benefits to ordering online at www.neweraoptical.com:

Free shipping of contact lens orders over $150.00.  Contact lens orders that total $150 or more ship free to your office! That makes a big difference in what your lenses truly cost. Keep that in mind when choosing suppliers.  (We are unable to offer free shipping on other supplies, as manufacturers' shipping policies are so varied. Free shipping offer excludes trials and some Coopervision lenses.)

Low prices. Because of the inherent efficiencies of the Internet, we are able to offer optical supplies at some of the lowest prices to be found anywhere.

No minimum purchase requirements. You don't have to place a large order to get the best price at New Era Optical Online. Whether it's one lens or 10, just place your order and we'll give you one great price.

Stop-n-go ordering. Losing your Internet connection while ordering is not a problem. When you log back on, the order screen will be waiting, just as you left it. This allows you to enter orders at your convenience during the day and submit them all at the end of the day. You can see more patients.

One-stop shopping. No more shopping around trying to get the best deals from all the major brands. New Era Optical Online has great pricing on all major brand optical supplies.

Free soft lens database. Registered users are welcome to access New Era Optical's extensive database of soft lens parameters anytime you need to check a parameter, power or color. There's no charge for this service, and you don't have to place an order.

Increased order accuracy. Your staff no longer has to memorize or write down soft lens parameters; they're built into New Era Optical's Online system. This saves time and greatly reduces the chance for human error on both the sending and receiving ends.

Order history. Need to order a replacement lens for Mrs. Jones or track how much you're spending on contacts? You can access your New Era Optical Online order history by patient name, manufacturer or month.
