My son and one of the girls both wear glasses, and I do for reading as well or at least I am supposed to anyway. My son has an Astigmatism and also has Nystagmus which effects his distance vision and depth perception. It should be pretty interesting to see how he does as a rifleman since he is wanting to be in the Infantry after boot camp. Anyway, because of both of those we never really looked into contact lenses for him, but my nine-year-old daughter is starting to talk about wanting them and most likely before she gets into High School we will let her.
The sponsors of this post, VisionDirect.com sell most of the major name brands of contact lenses, cleaning supplies as well as several other products. Just from browsing through the site for a few minutes I was able to determine that VisionDirect.com sells them for much less than you pay retail, in some cases over 50% less if you are purchasing an annual supply. They also provide free shipping on any orders over $99 and several rebates as well on different brands.
One of the really cool things is that they are an international company and will ship almost anywhere. All of the prices on their site reflect U.S. dollars and your credit card company will perform the actually currency exchange. VisionDirect also has a toll-free number. They can be reached at 1-800-VisionDirect (1-800-847-4663) for any of your contact lens needs as well as Health and Beauty products.
