CRAWDAD Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Wife needs to get her perscription filled. Does anybody know of a cheap place to buy 'em? My guess would be; online would be cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I don't know what cheap is to you, but I pay $102/year for mine through my local doctor. That's for 12, 1month supply contacts, for each eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAWDAD Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think she found some for $114. Samething - 2 eyes - 1 year supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 http://www.1800contacts.com should be like $60 a year assuming you have a Rx already. or try a walmart with an optic center in it. they are just as cheap there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 +1 for 1800contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 +1 ^^ I used them the last time I bought contacts and no issues what so ever. I will use them the next time I need to order contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro1647545510 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Walmart optics is pretty cheap and they have a wide variety in stock. They actually order from 1800 contacts if they do not have your prescription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAWDAD Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think she was looking at http://www.1800contacts.com I didn't know if there was somebody else I could try. walmart is where she got the rx from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brrcats Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I typically buy mine at Visiondirect.com, they usually have some good prices on individual brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmy43016 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 you would never have to buy them again...i would say that was cheap. my wife and i both got eyes done for 700.00 each for both eyes. i understand that it is prescription based...but consults are free. you can use a companies flex account to pay for them too. i was out of pocket about 100.00.

Brandon Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Costco, i believe its 75 for a prescription update, and then they match online pricing for contacts, and often have nice rebates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmy43016 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 holy crap. I went to the Bloomberg Eye Center Newark Lasik center. The center has 125,000 plus under his belt. I have a co-worker that went to Polaris and they butchered his eyes. The doc got cocky and he has a condition that he cannot get the surgery due to the shape of his eye. The doc thought he could do it and screwed up. Try Bloomberg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the standard or the custom? My costs would be $895 for right eye for the standard, $695 for the left eye for the standard, total would be about $1700 w/ tax. If I wanted the custom it'd be about $3000 for both eyes. So again, your one lucky bastard if you got BOTH eyes done for $700, that's retarded cheap.

Everything depends on your prescription. I used my companies flex spending account to pay for the wife and myself so I actually ended up with 100.00 payment that the flex card didnt pay for which i had to. 1700 is way better than 4k though. i had a great experience with them and the procedure takes all of 5 minutes to do. you can do one eye at a time if you choose. custom prices were 1500 regardless of your prescription.
