Here in Singapore, one month worth of daily disposable lenses cost more than Americans pay for a single pair of glasses. If you buy only 90 days worth, the doctor wants to repeat the exam before you can re-fill. The cost is outrageous.
The cost of peroxide based cleaning kits is about the same as you pay at Wal-Mart. Go figure?!
Just about everyone either re-uses them 2 or 3 times, or they visit the third world (Malaysia, Indonesia, etc) and buy cheap lenses.
Btw: I went with my friend to Malaysia, last week. They did not have my prescription. The guy tried to tell me they are "close enough".
Furthermore the boxes were maked with an expiration date only three months away. Needless to say, I did NOT buy them.
Any experiences with re-used lenses?
