Acuvue2 Contacts Cheap

[yoyo25]

This is a pretty old (and on-going deal)..but might be useful to all those with bad eyes.

You can pick up a box of Acuvue2 contacts at Sams Club for $13.95, usually they sell for $19-23 in most retail and online shops.

Enjoy

coastal contacts has these for $13.14 a box if you buy a year's supply and qualify for the rebate. if you don't buy a year's supply at once this is cheaper

Do you need a valid prescription for those at Sam's?

Sam's also has a rebate if you buy a years worth, not sure how much a box it comes out to be.

All contact lenses are prescription devices regulated by the Food & Drug Administration and require a valid prescription (usually from an optometrist or an ophthalmologist) to purchase lenses.

how does 1800CONTACTS and online companies check for validity?

i'd like to know this as well...i have prescriptions from doctors in India, since it's much cheaper here than in the US, but buying the lenses in the US would be cheaper than here.

they are required to call and verify with the prescribing doctor, however the doctor only has about an 8 hour window to verify/confirm the prescription and if they don't then the company will go ahead and fill the order. so most of the time, people are getting orders filled even though their rx has expired.

Hey, for once I really truly know the answer to a question:

My roommate works for Sam's Club Optical, like others have said, they will not sell you anything if you don't have a valid prescription, but they will help you and sell you contacts even if you are not a member because of the contracts they have with the Optomitrists (eye exams are also decently priced).

He gets yelled at all the time by people saying that 1800contacts will fill their prescription without a valid prescription, to which he always replies, "yeah they will, but they're breaking the law and supposedly under investigation."

I don't know if they really are under investigation, but he says they are. Either way, they are breaking the law.

I have been using 1800contacts for years now and they ALWAYS need a prescription to fill the order. They will contact the eye doctor or you can fax them the script yourself. Normally, they have good prices on the Acuvue2 contacts with occasionaly rebates and coupon codes for discounts. Thanx for the post as I might look into WalMarts eye center prices....

I've used Coastal and I don't think they really check the prescription exists. I read that one way these companies get around this is due to the 8 hour window mentioned above. But they intentionally fax the request for the perscription in the middle of the night. That way it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to respond to the request in time.

I don't know that for a fact though...

You can use prescriptions from doctors from other countries, just show them it to them along with a business card or something. I got some contacts for my roommate using a prescription from her doctor in Malaysia at Sam's last week.

Funny, I got my Rx from an optometrist here in the US at a Costco. I faxed my Rx to her in Singapore and she got it filled for me over there. A year's worth of Acuvue Clear (Is it the same as Acuvue Advance?) for $55 US.
