What's started this whole ordeal is an issue that I'm sure that anyone who wears contacts

or glasses can relate to.

I've had the same eye prescriptions since I was 13 years old.

It literally has not fluctuated once.

Every year since my release, I've had to go through the same crap.

It goes something like this.

Take a day off from work, see the optometrist have my eyes dilated.

Every tour my prescription has not changed even a fraction of a point, and then prayer

survive the drive home with my weird, light-sensitive eyes.

I usually end up getting a migraine from the dilation, so overall, I consider my yearly

eye exam to be an exasperating, painful occasion.

I just don't know why I need to get my prescription renewed every year, neither does my wallet.

I'm working part-time, at least that's what my contract says.

I'm regularly pushing 50 hours a week, so no insurance.

This means that two months ago when my prescription was up and my final contact ripped, I was

dreading the bill for what I knew would culminate to useless experience.

Then I had a brilliant idea.

I thought it'd be smarter to order contacts online and skip my annual irritation.

I checked the popular sites, and much to my displeasure, they either required an updated

prescription, or was substantially more expensive.

I was about to give up after looking through the first 5 or 6, but then I found a seller

who seemed perfect.
