Contact Lenses online…The only way to go!

Contact lenses were not a topic that I considered discussing anytime soon until my daughter Alexis called from Mizzou (Go!Tigers) last week in a frenzied state over her contacts. She had just realized that she was on the brink of running out of contacts for her right eye. Catastrophic in her world…Oh No.

Don’t you have glasses Alexis? and the usual reply of mom in seranade of four syllables.

After a fifteen minute phone call listening to Alexis plead her case of having NO TIME to handle any piece of the re-order, I decided to take over the task for her. Rest assured that I am well aware that anything I have to do would NEVER be as important as my children’s needs according to them. Come on! She’s eighteen…Still can’t say no. For some odd reason, I thought this would be as simple as one phone call…Silly me.

I will not blast the local mass merchandiser that holds her prescription because I will shop there for other merchandise as soon as today because it’s close and cheap.

But get this! With every request I made regarding ordering, pick up, mailing her contact lenses, I was told something to the effect that it was not store policy which translates to NO. Excuse me? My anger connected with the freakin disturbing phone call will not allow me to elaborate further except to share with you that contacts…prescriptions…mailing…credit cards are all what they are…SIMPLE and should involve no frustration.

The silver lining is that I remembered that I had ordered my own contact lenses online just a few months ago after doing some price comparison. OH NO! I would love to lie at this moment and offer up some ridiculously complicated reason why it didn’t even cross my mind to order her lenses online; however the reality is that I am often a victim of status quo. In fact, I was proud of myself for thinking that I would be able to take of it all with one phone call instead of going to the store. The following statement I cannot say loud enough to any person that wears contacts…Starting today! Only buy your Contact lenses online. Why?
