Visiondirect.com. But, I heard that if you get contacts online, they're not good or something.. and it could be expired?

But online it's like, $15.99 a box. A box = only 1 eye. But it comes with 6 lenses and you can wear them for 2 weeks. But then you have to buy the other eye... so that's about $32.00 for 3 months? I don't know, I can't do math. But that's the acuvue 2, ones. I'm not sure which ones you want.

So I get mine at Wal-Mart? Cause the one's online could be expired (my mom's friend heard that it could be... it could be a bunch of crap, though.)

Oh, and you can get them from contacts.com, I think.
I used to get them from Visiondirect.

Um.. I go to Sam's Club. It's like Costco, but a different place. Anyway, my contacts, which are toric, are about 24.95 a box. And they're not colored or anything, just clear. Anyway, it comes with 6, and each lasts 2 weeks. I have to get 1 box for each eye, so I paid 50$ total. And which lasts about... 12 weeks. That's a little less than 3 months wink.gif
