Sams Club is super cheap!

but you have to have a membership and your perscription with you. (or know the # of your eye doc so they can get it.)

BJs and Dr Croom (by the belltower) carry them, but they have to order. The guy I spoke with at Dr. Croom's office said that they do have trials, though.

11 Enterprise St, Raleigh, 27607 - (919) 834-6206

BJs has most in stock. I get mine there when I need them.

3/1/2006 5:14:17 PM

In general, these lenses are so new, no one has them in stock. Thats how I roll.

3/1/2006 5:17:55 PM

whats better about them than accuvue 2 or something?

3/1/2006 5:58:35 PM

speaking of contacts, I have a question about mine - I haven't been able to find them except from a company called SunSoft or something in the like at least (havent bought any in a year though) - why would only one company make them?

is this just because my astigmatism is so screwed or the place I bought them from wanted to be a dick (its $360 a pair)

3/1/2006 8:52:17 PM

damn, probably because your eye just suck because i have never seen a pair cost $360

3/1/2006 8:53:25 PM

well that was the price 4 years ago because i ended up wearing them for 2-3 years since they were so expensive, im not sure if they are cheaper now, but the doctor i went to was even floored by the price when he ordered them

and yeah im almost blind..

3/1/2006 8:55:19 PM

are they glass contacts?

3/1/2006 9:41:04 PM

nope.. torcs (i think thats what they are)

3/1/2006 9:57:13 PM

Yes, toric lenses are for an astigmatism. Anything beyond a -1.75 cyl must be special ordered and most often are cutom made lenses that are designed to last about a year, that's why they're more expensive.

3/1/2006 10:46:07 PM

get a trial from the Dr you went to tell them you have put some on order...

BAM

3/1/2006 11:07:05 PM

The deal is, my eye doctor is back home near Charlotte. I've had these trials going on 4 weeks now and I would haven't guessed that places in the area wouldn't be carrying them yet or I would have for sure ordered these a while ago. I needed them today because I'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow at noon.

Oh well, I'll stretch these another week and take some older Acuvue 2s for backup.

3/1/2006 11:16:54 PM

yea that was going to be my recommendation. What are Oasis? dailies?

3/2/2006 7:58:41 AM

I think they advertised Oasis (might be spelling it wrong) during the Super Bowl. They are just designed to get more oxygen to your eyes. I used to could wear a pair of basic Accuvues and sleep in them for a week, take them out for a night and wear them another week and trash them. Then I had 2 Accutane treatments and since then if I fall asleep for 30 minutes in anything but a brand new pair I wake up with burning ultra dry painful eyes and a lot of times towards the end of the day my vision is a little hazy, usually clearing up for a brief moment when my eyes water. The Oasis seem to a help a ton in keeping my eyes fresh and clear. When I first put them in I could barely feel they were in and my eyes are less fatigued at the end of the day.

3/2/2006 10:02:30 AM

I think they're spelled Oasys because I rememeber thinking that sounded dumb.

They sound like good lenses though. I'm really in need of something that I won't have trouble falling asleep in.

3/2/2006 11:51:01 AM

yeah hydraclear and oasis seem pretty similar.

i like both.

3/2/2006 1:46:18 PM

yea my contacts got to be like that last spring. I finally bought a pair of glasses and use them during long days of work. Took about 3 months off of contacts (except when exercising) and its done my eyes WONDERS.
