Has anyone ever had luck with buying contact lenses on the web?

I'm not seeking medical advice, just consumer advice. Thanks!

1. I've used 1800contacts before

no problems. They do want to contact your doc's office re: the scrip, so if you are trying to find a source without one they ain't it (and PM me if you do! I can't afford an exam right now)

2. I have the prescription already, just looking for the best deal :)

4. I never did much comparrison shopping but if you spent a certain amount shipping was free

I know at that point they were cheaper than the doc's. And for me it was a better, faster way to do it since I'm 50 miles from town and the doc didn't even keep them in stock, so I had to order a couple days ahead anyway! with 1800 they came right to me for less.

3. Yes it is very easy and fast

I usually get my first box from the doc (covered by my insurance) and then order the rest from 1800contacts. Their prices are cheaper than at the doctor overall.
