| Calling all contact wearers... I was recently fitted for contacts...Acuvue Oasys. What I was wondering is do you guys buy your contacts from your eye doctor or order online somewhere and get a better deal? I am all about a better deal if there is one to be had! Help an old girl that can't see very well out!

| I have worn contacts since I was 12. I just got a new prescription and I think I am going to order them fro 1800 contacts. My new eye doc seems kind of expensive. I would try online first. Then maybe compare with your eye dr.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i got glasses when i was 5years old and got contacts when i was 12. I used to get them thru my eye doctor for years, but then i switched to Focus monthly. I used 1800contacts.com to order them and they came out to be cheaper. However, recently at the end of February i got the LASIK surgery and now i have 20/20 vision without contacts or glasses and i couldn't be happier. I don't EVER remember seeing as well as i do now. I highly recommend it to everyone who's worn glasses/contacts for more years then they haven't. |

| My doc won't give my prescription away to 1800 contacts and I was kind of stuck since I don't have health insurance and contacts are expensive from the dr's office. So a really nice friend of mine works at a doc's offc and sent me a bunch of samples

| Walmart is actually cheaper here in Jersey than 1800contacts. But I have used them before I found out about Walmart.

| I've never ordered from 800 Contacts because I'll get stuck with spams and telemarketing calls... Do not like those. I get my contacts from Costco. My brother has what you have now. He said it's $25 per box. Yikes. I have Accuvue2 (sp?) and I think it's $13.99. |

| I heard costco was inexpensive. I wear contacts, but I use my boyfriends I know it's bad, but he gets like 10 boxes a month it's crazy (he has wonderful insurance).. so he gives me a box whenever i need it. And we are exactly the same eyesight (i know it's bad because our eyeshapes are different).. but i've been wearing them for so long oh and they are called h20.. cause the acuvue oasys and hyrdaclear make my eyes super dry! |

| I've worn contacts for many years. After going through many different brands, (acu-vue for one) I have settled on ciba vision night and day breathable lenses. I can wear them 30 days straight before taking them out unless i need a quick rinse for dry eye. They run me 90 dollars for a 6 pack at my eye doctor. i've never ordered them online. they get a from me. |

| I have been wearing contacts since I was 13. Yes it's been a long time!!! I buy mine directly from the eye dr. He actually has the lowest price. Speaking of which I need to order some. My son has contacts specially made for really bad astigmatisims, they cost a fortune.($250 for 3 months) My 13 yr old son. Has tried 3 times to get contacts. Where going to try one more time, than wait a year or so before trying again. My 9 yr old daughter just got glasses. Aren't my kids lucky they all inherited by horrible eyesight. Eye Dr. said that the odds of all the kids having bad eyesight all at the same age. (also age I started wearing glasses) is really high.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Dd wears contacts...expensive contacts, like Sneri's kids. $70 per eye. And they can not make her prescription in "disposable" 30 day contacts either. They're cheaper at through the doctor's office than anywhere else though.
