Hello,
I am trying to find the best place to order contacts. I only want to order 2 boxes (one for each eye) and I also have an astigmatism (sp?) in one eye so my prescription is a little bit more expensive. Any good online place to order from? Cheap and reliable is what I'm looking for.

Thanks so much!
Kelly

ps- if you know of a good place for glasses too, let me know.

Are you looking for dailies, weeklies or hard contacts? My sisters both had astigmatism & had to wear hard lenses back in the day but I don't think that's necessarily the case anymore. Is there any brand you prefer? The more specifics you can give like this, the easier it will be to help you.

I don't have to booklet in front of me so I can't verify. However, it seemed like some brand of contacts was on the Easysaver rebate at Walgreens this month. They still may not be the cheapest but its one place to check....

I have used 1800contacts.com and been happy with them. Now I just get them from my eye doctor because I have had problems and I can exchange them for whatever else I need if I have to switch.

I have heard good things about the optical department at Costco, but I have never used them.

As far as glasses, Lenscrafters is not really such a good deal. They have coupons, but the frames are so expensive, it's hard to get anything for less than $100 (frames and lenses). If it's for a kid, you need to find out if any place has a warranty/guarantee. One of my kids is very physical and kept trashing his glasses and Lenscrafters has NO warranty, so if they are damaged you have to get a whole new pair. Can you tell I don't like Lenscrafters?

Costco is where I go- I have not found a better price on my contacts and they also have a great selection of eyeglasses. Sometimes they even have discounts on their contacts when you buy them! (disposable ones- bought a few boxes at a time)

i use Sams club..i have heard costco is also good..i dont know how it is everywhere but to use the vision departments in south carolina you dont have to be a member of either..

I use Vision Direct as well. I saved over $180.00 by ordering through them instead of from the vision center in Wal MArt

My Dr. will price match. I look on line to find the best price at the various stores 1-800-contacts, etc and then print out the sales price. I take it in to my doctor and he matches. I am pretty sure most doctors won't do this, but it may be worth asking?

[crissy148]

I would say check your doctor- my husband comparison shopped online, and especially 1800contacts, and his doc was still cheaper. Plus, no shipping!

[2vette2camaro]

I asked mine if they would price match and they said NO. So then if wasn't no time before Vision Direct called them and confirmed my prescription so they then KNEW I got my contacts somewhere else!

I just got an email worth $10.20 at Drugstore.com, VisionDirect or Beauty.com. I ordered 2 full size Herbal Essences shampoos and with shipping (which IS high) I only paid $1.78. The dollars expire at the end of the month. I didn't even know they did this, but hey more free stuff!
