March 18Mar 18 I just got a new RX. I'd like to buy them as cheap as possible, but some of the discount websites seem sketchy. Any successes with the smaller companies?
March 18Mar 18 LensPure from Vancouver. Cheaper than US prices (for my brand anyway) and you don't have to have an RX if it's expired. Brands - LensPure
March 19Mar 19 me, imagining what putting in contacts is like: Lulz. I’m 50 and never wore glasses until I got readers about 6-7 years ago. I got annoyed with having to carry them around or them sliding down my nose when working outside so I got bifocal contacts about 2 years ago. I still suck at putting them in feel like that scene from Fire in the Sky.
March 19Mar 19 800 Contacts was always the cheapest for me. I bought a box from my doctor last time and spent way too much. Right now, I have the same prescription for both eyes which makes it easy to order.
March 19Mar 19 Problem with 1-800 contacts is they’ll bombard you with emails and call you on the phone a few times to let you know your prescription is running out and you better order another 10 boxes.
March 20Mar 20 I've bought from https://www.discountcontacts.com/ for the past few years without issue. One year the lenses were lost in the mail (post office said they were delivered, but I have a locking mailbox and they weren't in there). Discount contacts sent out replacements without any fuss. They've usually been the cheapest when I've price shopped, but now pretty much automatically buy from them given the solid customer service I've had in the past.
April 9Apr 9 Costco as well. Shop around, but most will show you a low price and then tack on processing fees that are outrageous. Costco is consistent. Not always the cheapest, but usually competitive and clearly a well run company to boot.
April 9Apr 9 Author Yeah, I ended up at Costco. Not the cheapest, but a good price. I ordered on a Thursday and they were in my mailbox the following tuesday.
April 11Apr 11 I used to do 1-800-Contacts also. Finally had Lasik done and I can’t believe I waited that long. Game changer. Incredible improvement in my allergies as well. Invest, definitely worth it.

My kid got Lasik a few years back, courtesy of Uncle Sam. He's got perfect vision, as required by his occupation (military pilot)
