- I saw an ad on one of the cable stations (CNN?) about an outfit that sells
- contacts, mail-order. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now
- I'm in the market for new contacts and the commercial seems to have
- stopped running.
-
- Does anyone know their 800 number or how I'd go about finding it out?
- Anyone bought contacts mail-order? Any horror stories?
-
- I don't see much risk here. I've been wearing the same brand and
- prescription for 10 years and have regular eye exams. And it's $250 to
- replace soft contacts here in Canada or about $200 if you buy an
- 'insurance policy', so it should be a substantial saving.
-
- Email please, as I don't get this group. Will summarize if there is any
- interest.
