I always bought an annual supply of contact lenses from my optometrist because they discounted the exam by $10 if I did so. I thought I was getting a deal.
I was planning to go back until I realized I was paying 25% more than the lowest prices online (close to $75 for an annual supply).
Here's the easy steps I did (took literally 5 minutes) to get new contacts.
1.) Don't buy while at the doc's office unless you know they are the cheapest.
2.) Google contact lens price comparison sites like contactscompare,com or contactprice.
3.) Find the lowest price online.
4.) Go to 1800 Contacts and live-chat with them and ask them to match the lowest price you found (they have a price match guarantee and free shipping).
