I have astigmatism, so the contacts that are best for me cost a lot of money. I have worn toric lenses over the past few years, since they seem to help people like me the most. I had heard about a new brand called Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, so I asked the doctor about them when I saw her a couple of weeks ago. She said that they would be better for me since I like to sleep in my contacts. From reading I learned that their shape was designed so they don’t move around on your eye as much as the toric lenses and they hold more moisture. I’ve been wearing a trial pair of Acuvue for Astigmatism and haven’t had any problems so I am switching to them. They are made of a different material, so handling them was a little weird at first. Other than that, everything has been okay.

Today it was time to order the new contacts. I usually go to the same site to order them each time, but this time I decided to shop around. One trend I noticed was that the more you order, the larger rebate you got back. I wasn’t planning on ordering more than a box for each eye, so that didn’t help me any. I also noticed that on most sites you had to spend a decent amount of money to qualify for free shipping.

After looking around I decided that I could get the best deal from Contasts1st.com. I looked at reviews of the site and the main complaint seemed to be that the shipping time could be a little long. I’m not in a big hurry though. I have one last pair of toric lenses that should last me until I get the new ones. I liked the fact that they allow you to fax or email a scanned copy of your prescription to them so they won’t have to call your doctor’s office. I was a little nervous about ordering from a company I had never heard of, but I think everything will be fine. As long as my contacts haven’t been opened when I receive them, I won’t complain. The total cost is about 25% cheaper on this site than they are on the site I normally go to. That’s good enough for me.

P.S. – I learned today that OD means right eye and OS means left eye. I’m sure there’s a reason for that, but I didn’t take the time to look it up.
