Contact Lens Wearers: Question
Is there a place on the Internet where I can get contacts CHEAP? Focus Dailies are going to bankrupt me.

Thx,

JD

8. Good luck, and
to repeat what others here have said, do go to an eye doctor soon. Save your pennies if you have to, but do it. We can't yet replace eyes.

10. thats illegal
My understanding is this company also repackages expired contact lenses. There is no problem, my friend, until you meet acanthameoba. Then you will experience a painful and blinding corneal ulcer,take it from me,it is very painful. I would stay away from swimming pools and hot tubs this summer ifn' I were you.

3. Just make sure you get periodic checkups - my
husband is an optometrist and you can ruin your eyes..go for it!

Another thing - if your eyes are not truly really awful - just buy from your local drugstore or Costco - I do.

4. Do a Google search
Use "discount contact lenses" and your brand as the search terms. It will let you shop for whoever has a sale going on your brand.

Good luck!
