What brand & kind is it? (Acuvue, Focus, Freshlook; Daily, Biweekly, etc.)

Where do you buy it?

And for how much?


I'm used to buying from my optometrist but I just found out how they're sooo overpriced so I'm wondering where others buy theirs.

my circle lens are daily disposable ones (acuvue) while my normal contacts (also acuvue brand) are 2 week disposable ones. I buy them from my optometrist. My normal contacts cost abuot $30 AUD (2 weeks, 6 pairs) while circle lens costed about $400 NTD (~$14AUD) for a pack of 30. but if both of your eyes are different degrees, it's double the price T__T
i think acuvue is really good, really comfortable hehe

i use focus dailies for my colored contacts and acuvue oasys as my bi-weekly ones. i used to buy them straight from my optometrist, but i work for one now so i get them for free so i don't know how much they cost..

if i were you, i'd either get them online if possible or buy them from a walmart, sam's, etc. i think they're cheaper there.
