Trying to save by buying contacts for my son online instead of through doctors office. What site have you found to be the best to order from?

Thank you!The last time I ordered, lens.com was the cheapest for the brand I buy.
Thanks my son has a stigmatism so his contacts are very expensive- that’s why I was hoping to find a better price online.I've been using OptiContacts.com for the last few years. By far the best prices I could find and I've spent a LOT of time searching (although it depends on the brand/type that you need). Interestingly, last month when I did a reorder, I had checked around again and couldn't find a better price. But when I put my brand name into Google and did a general search, it pulled up the shopping results on the right side of the page and OptiContacts had a listing there for an even better price, so I ended up getting a fabulous deal that was better than if I had just gone to their site directly.
I also always check for coupon codes at RetailMeNot.com and often find them for the various contact sites. However, even with those codes, for my particular contacts, I haven't been able to find better than the OptiContacts. For my husband's earlier in the year, I was able to use a code from RetailMeNot at Walgreen's contacts site and saved a huge amount there (he uses a different brand/style).
Hope that helps!

Thanks! That one seems the best for the more expensive of the two types I need to order.I use Contact Lens King. I compare prices all the time. They have been the best with me - (Walgreens may have the 25% off but was still way more than what I spent). All of my Family of 4 has contacts so buying them quite often.
Thanks, yes, I have been ordering from them for my daughters and doing that same thing.I second 1800contacts. They matched the price I found on Contact Lens King + gave me another 5% off. It was something like $40 off per box.
My son is wearing biofinty toric xr in one eye which are super expensive and biofinity toric in the other eye which isn't as bad. I have been looking around, but wasn't sure if anyone knew a better option. I really appreciate everyone's input.You’ve really got to shop around. Prices vary greatly by brand and site. Last year I found that lens.com was the cheapest for me, but only if I googled my brand. If I went straight to their page they were $10 more per box. This year I switched brands and found webeyecare.com was the cheapest.
I too have an astigmatism. Last year I wore Air Optix for Astigmatism and they were bout from Lens.com. This year I switched to Avaira Vitality Toric and got them from Webeyecare.com.
