Where to order contact lenses online?

Does anyone here do this? I'd like to do this before the end of the year and avoid having to sit through the exam. My current prescription is fine.

I ordered from lenstore.eu since my prescription was expired by 1 month. Since it overseas, they do not require a current prescription which is pretty nice. In my case, my prescription hasn't changed in 3 years so I felt ok with ordering another 6 months of lenses.

I order through Eye Surgery Center BR and find it is as cheap. I wear dailies and am due for an exam in January so I just ordered a years worth to push that back.

I ordered some off of WebEyeCare.com a few weeks ago and was pleased with the service and price. I had to give them the information of where I received my last eye exam at so they could confirm my prescription since I didn't have a copy of it, but if you already have your prescription you can just upload it to the site and they will ship within 24 hours.

I didn't realize this was a thing. It's been over a year since my last exam, so I may be stuck with going in anyway.

I always buy a year's supply at Costco. They almost always have the best price, plus they give you a $25 gift card on top of that. I don't think you need a membership to shop in the optical dept either.

Fresh Lens This is where I bought mine a few months back. I'm like a year overdue on my prescription.

Whatever you do, don't order them from the same place Yoga Girl (Boy) orders them from. They'll make you see the craziest shite when everyone else sees normal.

I've used lens.com before. Prices are good (not sure if the best). Service is good. Last time I looked, 1800contacts was twice as expensive.

It is 18 months with my Dr so just order a month before for as long as you want.
