I have trouble finding ones that fit in the store (I usually end up in the kid section) so I would have a lot of trouble ordering them online. This is such a great topic!!

Havent updated the prescription in about 6 years and although it hasnt changed much I bet it would make a difference. I used to be a huge contact wearer but for the past couple of months, it has been all glasses. So much quicker and easier to put on. I heard America's Best (a place here, not sure if national) has really cheap glasses and you can go in and try them on. I might try that. <em>Dani's last blog post..</em><a href='http://danitime.blogspot.com/' rel="nofollow">I Ant Liking This</a> I need new glasses although I like my frames.

I wear my contacts a lot more than I do my glasses so I usually just get my prescription changed on them if my eyes changed a lot or every other year if they didn't. Currently I'm putting money into my HSA through my job so that I can not only save for medical expenses but for the Lasik I'm going to get in the next few years. I really love the HSA's and will probably continue to put money into it even after I've left my current job since my employer lets you take it with you when you leave. Thanks for the other great tips I will definitely be checking out the Ebates to help with my contacts. I actually do all the same things.

I'm not due for another eye exam 'til next year and I'm hoping my vision stays the same so I can use my glasses for another year. That saves me a lot of $ right there. I do have contacts but they're reserved for special occasions only and maybe when the baby starts grabbing my glasses. I’ve been using the same pair of glasses for the last two years.

I wore contacts so much a few years ago that I started to develop extra blood vessels in my eyes. They just weren't getting enough oxygen! Yikes! So contacts wearers should definitely have glasses on hand to wear for part of the day. Yeah, it’s always good to have some sort of backup pair–especially if you wear contacts.

My glasses broke back in April, and while Shawn temporarily (and cleverly) fixed them for me with some gorilla glue, they bid me their final goodbye about a month later. RIP. I've been wearing contacts since then, and while this is my preference, it's still nice to slip on your glasses instead of stumbling around in the mornings when you need to use the restroom. But they're just so flipping expensive, I've been stressing about how I was gonna get a pair. This could not have come at a better time :) Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The same goes for keeping a pair of glasses when you switch to contacts. People who've been wearing contacts for a while know this, but sometimes it's easy to go all gung ho with your first pair of contacts and fling the hated "specs".
