What? I only had to pay 25 for a box unless I am missing something
What type of lenses and how many lenses were in each box?

Anyone know how to order from a U.S. site with an expired prescription? I always have to order from Canada cause they don't require a prescription, but it's bit more $.

they ask you for your eye doctor info, choose any of your local doctors, when they don't respond within 24 hours they will send out the order.

Need to reorder Acuvue 1 day moist lenses, I always used Vision Direct with 20-25% off coupon. Apparently since UPP, everyone charges the same $63.50 per box and you cannot use any coupons anywhere. Was anyone able to successfully get Acuvues for cheaper? TIA.

All sites work that way. It's according to the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act.

There has been a lot of outcry about this including a senate investigation - http://www.stopupp.org/.
It's not even just Acuvue lenses anymore, it looks like all of the major contact lens brands are migrating over to this model - http://www.stopupp.org/#price-changes.

Very bad new if this isn't stopped.

Most lens cases are much bigger than they need to be. If they were a third of the size your lens solution bottle will last much longer. Does anybody know where I can get small lens cases with screw on covers?

The ones that come with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ML938K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 are somewhat smaller. Not that much, though.

But it is a great travel case.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

No, but if you get solution at Costco where these http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11790036&whse=BD_579&topnav=bd&cat=73545&hierPath=11115*73542*73545*&lang=en-US go for about $7 when they have coupon it shouldn't matter how big case is...

Wow this is awful--I was wondering why almost every price for boxes of TruEye were exactly the same!

That said, I've been happy recently with a site eyeglassdiscounter.com as they throw in free samples (and have no need to send a prescription) though they seem to have recently added a shipping charge for >$100 orders whereas before it was free
