pardon my ignorance as I'm not very well learned in the legaleze, but isn't litigation a bad thing for a company?

On the topic though, has anyone tried this mail order contacts? Is it okay if you have an astigmatism? I have a pretty bad on in one eye, but I'm able to wear "normal" contacts from what my eye Doc has told me.

thoughts?

God Bless

Every optometrists has given me free trial pairs of contacts, you don't need any coupon or anything. What should happen is they give you a trial pair, you wear them for a week, go back and order a box of them if you like them or get another trial pair of different lenses.

I used to wear Accuvue disposable contact lenses. I wore normal soft contact for around 2 years, and when I finally lost one of them for the umpteenth time, I decided to try some disposable (it also didn't hurt that one of the eye doctors was having a special). They were great! Pop them in for ~ 2 weeks and then throw them away and pop in a fresh pair. No more worring about passing out drunk with my contacts in. Had no problems with them in South Carolina for ~ 6 monts & Virginia for ~ 5 months. Also lasted ~ 3 years in Florida with no major problems. Then I moved to Japan (I'm in the Navy if you couldn't tell). During my first spring over there my eyes got very irritated (I guess there's alot of pollen or some other crap in the air that time of year). But hating glasses like it did I kept on wearing my contacts until I couldn't take it any more. Went to medical and the eye doctor said I had scratched my cornea (or retina or something like that). Gave me some medicine and told me not to wear them for a couple weeks (until my eye had healed). Same thing happened the next spring. This time it was a different eye doctor. He was telling my how just a few more millimters and my sight could have been degraded in my eye. Anyways, he went on to explain that I shouldn't be sleeping in contacts no matter what brand they are. The human eye needs x amount (can't really remember) of oxygen and when sleeping with contacts it is reduced to like 5% which is not enough. He also went on to explain how disposable contacts were actually made as a mistake (poor yeilds) but they decided to market them and now it's a big cash cow. He suggested that I use extended wear disposable. The Accuvue's were actually too not the proper fit and he fitted me some extended wear disposables (Ciba Vision) that last for 30 days and I take them out each night. They worked good for about 2 years until I moved to Hawaii. The dust where I work + the pollen in the air make any contacts uncomfortable for me to wear after about 6 hours. Luckily for me the I'm eligble for free Lasik surgury. Bad thing is that there is a 2 year waiting list (1 down, 1 to go!). So now I'm stuck wearing glasses unless me and the wife go out on the town.

Anyways, this is just a heads up about my experience with disposable contacts. YMMV

You slept wearing contacts? Didn't your optometrist tell you not to?

 

[Shippy]

I don't recall the eye doctor in S. Carolina telling me to take them out at night. For some reason I was always under the impression that extended wear contacts were safe to sleep in (that's why they are not daily wear). I think my biggest problems was not only the fact that I slept in the contacts (which didn't give me problems for 90% of the year) but maybe when I had dust or pollen in my eye + sleeping in them combined to scratch my cornea. I still have a box or 2 for emergency usage. There's nothing like not having to worry about taking out your contacts at the end of the night (especially when you don't know where you'll end up). I used to hate carring around a saline solution & cleaner anytime I was going to stay out late or at someone's house.

If I ever fall asleep with contacts in, my eyes are all covered w/ mucous in the morning and I can't see anything

For those that hesitate, I would like to inform you that I have already recieved my $100 worth of coupons as badluck mentions.

So, uh, yeah, it works The only catch is: you need 4 boxes + reciepts for each coupon (3 in total: $50 and 2 $25).
