We got ours at Costco they might not be the cheapest but if anything ever goes wrong they will take care of it. That is Costco's way.
But I think I paid $300 for a years supply of contacts (disposable), my glasses, hub's glasses (and he got two pairs) and our exams. I don't think that is bad. But you have to have a Costco membership.
Oh about the laser surgery, my friend had it done. His eyesight was awful and now he can see perfectly! I think his vision is better than 20/20. He said it wasn't bad at all!
Good Luck wherever you decide to go!
