My doctor only does 1 year prescriptions, my prescription hasn't changed for 15 years. It's important to get your eyes checked, but every year is a bit nuts. I guess we have some federal organization to thank for that.
I'd love to see you guys figure that problem out. Maybe you could figure out how to ship from out of the US or something. Hell, I'd pay more if I didn't have to go to the doctor every year.
FWIW, the biggest pain is the prescription. My doctor only does 1 year prescriptions, my prescription hasn't changed for 15 years.

You should check out Opternative. They do eye exams using your computer, though I'm not sure if they're licensed in every state.
ContactLensKing.com is substantially cheaper than JetLenses for the contacts I wear, the Bausch & Lomb Ultras. $43 for a 6 pack on JetLenses, $30 on ContactLensKing: https://www.jetlenses.com/Ultra-6PK_p_76.html https://www.contactlensking.com/prodDetail.aspx?ItemGroupCod... Why is there such a discrepancy in the pricing on these?
Basically: scale and supply chain. On some lenses, where we're on an even playing field, we're able to dramatically beat everyone else on price (e.g. Biofinity Toric XR, MyDay Toric, Proclear Toric XR). As we grow and we can add more suppliers, we'll be able to have the best prices across the board.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me, and it's not just to update your prescription, it's also to check how healthy your eyes are.
I have an eye condition that requires me to wear scleral lenses to see normally. They bill insurance over $2200 per pair of lenses. If that price can be brought down, that would be a big deal for me. Is this sort of lens a target for you?
Thanks!
