I am not sure if this is the right forum, anyway...

I have been buying contact lens from my optometrist for a long time. They charge me about $160 for 3 months lens - I wear the astigmatism ones. I heard that it is really cheap at Costco - is it so? Or are there any other places that you find them for cheap? I am actually considering becomig a member of Costco just for this. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Cynthia

I buy mine from my optomestrist but I know a lot of people who take their RX to Walmart and they've all said that they get reallly good deals. I would check on that and see how their prices are. Good Luck!

We get them at 1800Contacts or thru our eye doctor directly (price the same for us)...we get rebates a lot of the time. The slips are available at our eye doctor and then also online. Just depends on your prescription, the type of lenses you wear etc

I buy my contacts on 1800-contacts. For my perscription (& my daughters) they were cheaper than Walmart(not that much but a little) and there was free shipping. So call and ask Walmart their price and compare. I do like the convenience of 1800 contacts, they are shipped right away, no hassle, and sometimes they offer rebates. (oh, and they were a lot cheaper than the optometrist)

I buy mine at wal-mart. I wear the acuview and i think they are 32 or 36 a box. Which has 3 pair a box.

I have order online a long time ago, i think lens.com, not sure but they were higher than wal-mart and you had to order a min of 3 boxes or something like that!

I do walmart as well, and have for about 15 years. Best price on my contacts there, and they always call before my script expires and ask if I want more.

At Walmart, I get the acuvue astigmatism lenses for $90 for 6 months. This is cheaper than 1800contacts and the same as Sam's Club.
