My daughter and husband wear glasses; my daughter also wears contacts. There was a time when I wore both, but 8 years ago I had lasik eye surgery, and it was some of the best money I've ever spent. I will have to wear glasses for reading someday (probably sooner than I'd like), but going from 20/200 to 20/15 overnight was an amazing thing...let me know if you have questions.
So, with a daughter wearing toric lenses and the office price at right around$47.00 a box, I started the search. www.shipmycontacts.com has the best prices I've found, approximately $25 a box and free shipping.
Eyeglasses are getting cheaper every day. There are several sites that sell complete packages (frames and lenses,even bifocals) for $8.99, even with shipping they are less than $13.00 a pair. So check out the selections at the followiing: www.zennioptical.com, www.selectspecs.com, and www.globaleyeglasses.com.
