Returns Policy

CONTACT LENS & SOLUTIONS RETURNS AND REFUND POLICY
Please take care when ordering your contact lenses to ensure you order your prescription correctly, including whether you require “+” plus, or “-” minus powered contact lenses. If you have incorrectly ordered your contact lenses then, once we have received your contact lenses for exchange and verify they are suitable for return, we can order your corrected prescription. There will be an additional courier fee to send you the exchanged order.

We will provide a refund for returned contact lenses provided the boxes of contact lenses arrive un-opened, un-marked and un-damaged. The contact lenses must be returned within 60 days from the date of purchase. Solutions cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged.

Our policy lasts 60 days. If 60 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

Your refund will be processed within 5 working days of your product being received by us and approved for refund. Your transaction amount, after merchant transaction fees of 3.5% (6.5% if using Afterpay or Laybuy), a re-stocking and administration fee of $10 and shipping fees for return to the manufacturer will be deducted for all returned products. Unless we have processed your order incorrectly, we do not refund any costs involved in returning products.

If you change your mind about your purchase and notify us before your order has been packaged for dispatch by Visique Hutt Valley Optometrists then your transaction amount, after merchant transaction fees of 3.5% (6.5% if using Afterpay or Laybuy) and shipping costs for return to the manufacturer have been deducted, will be refunded to a valid credit card you supply.
