I don't think you need a membership to use the eye docs at coscto.

I always go to Davis Vision to get my eye exam (without insurance) & then order my contacts through Visiondirect.com bc they are MUCH cheaper then at the eye places...

mind if I ask how much cheaper this website is?



I wear Advance Acuvue from Johnson & Johnson...The pack (6 lenses in the pack) are $18.99 & I get delivery within 3 days...

I use Sachem Eye Care in Lake Ronkonkoma. My contacts are covered every other year.

that's a GREAT price! DH wears Acuvue 2.

he's going to Pearle. I made a mistake about where he used to, it was Lens Crafters that was so expensive! they want $89 for an eye exam PLUS $125 for a contact lens exam!! Pearle is $75 for both!

Acuvue 2 is $15.95 at Visiondirect.com I use to wear them but find the Advance ones to be more comfy. $75 is not a bad price for an exam. I think that is what I paid at Davis.

when I called Pearle, the guy I spoke with said it would cost $174 for 8 packs/sets of Acuvue 2. which is $21.75 for each set. that's not too bad, right?

Re: Where to go for an eye exam & contacts?

if you are getting 8 packs though, check out visiondirect. they are $10.20 (i believe) if you order 8 or more. I always order them offline just because I realize how much more the stores actually charge. If my insurance was paying, I would not care but anything for a bargain, right Chat Icon

believe me, if it were me, i would totally get them online. DH doesn't care about good deals, he cares more about convenience
