should I go somewhere else? Ive worn contacts before. This was a new office.They did not let me wear my old brand and charged me $95 for a fitting session after my eye exam which took mere moments since I needed no assistantance. The lady then tried to get me to purchase 1 year on the spot for $350 which seems outrageous to me, then tried to talk me into purchasing Gucci sunglasses(I had no interest in sunglasses). I said Id wait a week to see how the contacts feel. I asked why she chose the brand she did she said its cause they're inexpensive & its the only brand they keep in stock.Well they feel HORRIBLE already, its only been 2 days. They feel dry and grungy, I have to keep cleaning them throughout the day. They are coopervision contacts but im not sure which kind. Im glad I did not buy 1 years worth. Will I be charged (AGAIN) for a refit into another brand? And are they charging to much for their contacts in general (no abnormalities, no astigmatism, script is only -2.25) Should I go somewhere else?

Was the $95 for the entire exam, or was that the extra contact lens fitting? That seems a bit steep unless you are doing a monofit or something else extraordinary.First of all, never buy a one year supply of contacts if it is a brand that you have never worn. They should not have tried to sell those to you untl you came back for your follow up visit. When you go back for your follow up for the Coopervision, tell them you don't like them and want something else. They should not charge you for another follow up. Once you receive the contacts you like, ask for a copy of your prescription. Don't be upset because the optician was showing you sunglasses. You really should be wearing them anyway. If you don't like the ones she showed you, just politely let her know. Never feel pressure to buy anything. If you feel pressure, take your prescription and walk.
