Honey, I don’t see so well anymore
15 years ago, my wife got laser surgery on her eyes. The results were spectacular, 20/20 vision, see through walls and clothes … the works.
Last Christmas, she felt her vision had deteriorated. A quick visit to the Optometrist confirmed her nearsightedness (distant objects are out of focus). She had two choices: another laser surgery or corrective lenses. She did not feel like going through the laser surgery so she decided to go with contact lenses for now.
After going through a few free samples to decide which brand name she prefers, it was time to buy a supply of contact lenses. We had not bought contact lenses for 15 years and we felt that these things were very expensive. So prior to simply buying them from our Eye Care Practitioner we checked on the Internet to see if we could save some money.
The cherry on the cake: we saved 37% as compared to the best price we found in stores around Toronto.
I don’t endorse any of these online contact lens stores and I really don’t care where you buy your products. However, if you wear contact lenses, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
