Your subscription

How does my Dimple subscription work?

New customers receive a free 10 day trial of Dimple contact lenses (with a $4.95 shipping fee). Your paid subscription will start 13 days after you placed your trial order. Each delivery consists of 30 days of wear (60 contact lenses) and is charged at $45.00 including shipping. The card you used for the payment of the trial order will be charged for future orders, however you can update your card details through the customer portal.

How do I edit my subscription?

You can edit your subscription details by logging in to the customer portal. Here you can change your next delivery date, update your lens prescription, modify the frequency of your deliveries, update your personal and payment details or cancel your subscription.

What happens if my eye prescription changes?

No problem, you can edit your prescription but logging in to the customer portal.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Definitely, you can do so anytime by logging into the customer portal. At the bottom of the page is a cancel subscription link.  If you have too many lenses you don't have to cancel your subscription - you can also change the frequency of the delivery to match your wearing habits.

What if I don't wear my contacts every day?

Easy, you can change the frequency by logging into the customer portal. We offer three delivery schedules to match your wearing habits:

  • Every 4 weeks - for daily use (default),
  • Every 6 weeks - If you wear them most days; or
  • Every 8 weeks - If you wear them every other day

What is your returns policy?

Dimple offers returns on any monthly box items that remain sealed within 30 days of delivery. As these are medical products we unfortunately cannot offer refunds on boxes that have been opened. To read about our returns policy please visit our returns page.

When will my first paid order be shipped?

Your first paid order will be charged 13 days after you place your trial order and shipped within 1 business day. Your subscription will then renew every four weeks (28 days) by default. You can change your delivery frequency or next delivery date through My Account.

How do I change my next refill date?

If you want your next delivery to come sooner, or later, simply log into the customer portal. Next to your upcoming order date click the "edit" button to choose the date you wish to have your next order charged. Note that this is not the delivery date - your order will be picked and dispatched within 1 business day of that charge date.

Wearing your lenses

Can the contacts get stuck behind my eye?

The inside of your eyelids are connected to the back of your eye, so don't stress. If you can feel that your lenses have slipped up behind your eyelid our tip is to you lift your eyelid carefully with sterilised fingers and look down. You should feel your lens slowly slide down your eye and either fold over and flip out of your eye, or float back into its original position.

Will the UV protection of the lenses protect my eyes?

UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear, such as UV-absorbing sunglasses. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.

Can I swim in my contacts?

We don't advise swimming in your contact lenses for risk of contamination.

How long can I wear my contacts for?

Our lenses are designed for single-day wear only. Please remember to discard them after a single day's use.

Can I wear my contacts with makeup?

Put your contact lenses on before applying makeup. And always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your contacts, so you won't transfer any oils, creams or lotions to the lenses.

How do I know if my contact lens is inside out or not?

Place the contact lens on your fingertip and look at it from side-on. If the edge looks like it's flared out rather than forming a "U" shape, it's probably inside out. Refer to the inside of your Dimple box for illustrations. Don't worry, you'll get better at identifying this as your start wearing your lenses regularly.

What do I do if my eyes dry out during the day?

Be sure to use contact lens approved re-wetting drops during those dry, Aussie Summer days. Contact lenses need a very healthy tear consistency to be worn successfully. Spending a lot of time outdoors and out in the sun and wind can create environments where it is difficult for your tear film to keep up with the demand.
