Buying contacts online? +preference of different brands+?!
Question: Buying contacts online!? +preference of different brands+!?
I would like to start ordering my contacts online and I have a few questions!. First, is 1800contacts!.com really the best deal online!? They say they are at least 2% less expensive, but I just want to make sure!. Next is a question about my prescription!. I have tried 3 different brands (Frequency 55, Acuvue Oasys, & a Bausch & Lomb type that's for overnight wear if u want to keep them in), but I haven't yet found the perfect pair yet!. My question is- Is the prescription for every brand the same!? Meaning can I use the prescription from the box I have now to order a different brand online!? I hate having to go to my optometrist everytime I want to try a different brand! Lastly I would like to know your experiences/opinions/preferences for the following brands:
-Acuvue Advance
-Acuvue Oasys
-Biomedics
-Focas
-Frequency 55
-Fresh look
-O2 Optix
-Proclear
-Purevision
-Softlens
-Vertex Sphere

You will need a new a prescription for the brand that you want to try!. Your prescription (power) may be the same, but the lenses may come in different sizes and are different materials, so you'll still need to be fitted for the new lenses!. 1800contacts and other services will call your optometrist to verify your prescription, so no, you can not just try new brands by ordering them!.
I have tried Acuvue Advance and found them very comfortable!. I currently use Biofinity (not sure if it's the same type as Biomedics; it's from CooperVision), and they are also very comfortable and breathe way better than the Acuvues!. I also tried the Purevision lenses approved for continuous wear but found them uncomfortable, even when I took them out and washed them!. I do not have astigmatism if that matters!.
Keep in mind, though, that everyone is different, so what's comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for someone else!. Hope you find some you like!Www@Answer-Health@Com

your scipt should be the same for all brands!. If you have an astigmatism I HIGHLY recommend Acuvue Advance!. I wear them and LOVE them!. I also know several people that have the same opinion!.

ok!.!.!. 1800 contacts is pretty good online!. sams club, walmart, and costco have good prices jus bring ur prescription with u!. now u say the doctor finalized the prescription for 3 different brands!? thats strange!. i would go with the oasys!. u cant sleep in them overnight, but they r the most comfortable and everyone says that they cant feel them wen they put them in!. ive used freshlook colorblends and they r great, so natural!. and even if u do order online 1800 contacts verifies the prescription with ur optometrist so if its wrong u wont get nething!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
