Ive worn contacts before. This was a new office.They did not let me wear my old brand and charged me $95 for a fitting session after my eye exam which took mere moments since I needed no assistantance. The lady then tried to get me to purchase 1 year on the spot for $350 which seems outrageous to me, then tried to talk me into purchasing Gucci sunglasses(I had no interest in sunglasses). I said Id wait a week to see how the contacts feel. I asked why she chose the brand she did she said its cause they’re inexpensive & its the only brand they keep in stock.
Well they feel HORRIBLE already, its only been 2 days. They feel dry and grungy, I have to keep cleaning them throughout the day. They are coopervision contacts but im not sure which kind. Im glad I did not buy 1 years worth. Will I be charged (AGAIN) for a refit into another brand? And are they charging to much for their contacts in general (no abnormalities, no astigmatism, script is only -2.25) Should I go somewhere else?

Corrective contact lenses – A corrective contact lens is a lens designed to improve vision. In many people, there is a mismatch between the refractive power of the eye and the length of the eye, leading to a refraction error. A contact lens neutralizes this mismatch and allows for correct focusing of light onto the retina. Conditions correctable with contact lenses include near (or short) sightedness (myopia), far (or long) sightedness (hypermetropia), astigmatism and presbyopia.
Please see the web pages for more details on Contact lenses.

My prescription is -8 for both eyes (they are actually -8 point something, but I don’t remember what exactly). I have slight astigmatism as well, but no other issues with my eyes. I’m in my early 20s, and my eyes have not stabilized yet. My prescription seems to get worse by a point or so every 2-3 years.

Can The Use Of Medical Marijuana Be Used To Treat High Myopia And Astigmatism?
September 18, 2009 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I am 20 years old and have had high myopia and astigmatism my entire life. Recently I have started to use marijuana recreationally but it seems to better my vision at distances and I heard it can relieve pressures of the eye, which I happen to have a ridiculous amount of pressure in my eye with extensive stress on my retna. I would like to know if Medical Marijuana would be a legitimate way for me to go about treating my vision problems.
