If I ask my eye

can order them online for half the price which is why I haven't asked him.
if you live in the US this practice is illegal. after you are fit in
a brand of CL that work for you (meaning that they fit your eye well,
that they are comfortable to you, and that they provide good vision),
federal law states that the eye doctor MUST provide you with a written
prescription. you can take your prescription and purchase the
contacts where ever you please. without a written prescription, you
will be unable to obtain the contact lenses from any reputable
source. some internet businesses used to sell them without a
prescription until a couple of years ago but now they are liable under
the same federal law to stiff penalties unless they can verify a
prescription from your doctor.
just tell your eyecare provider that you prefer the non-toric
spherical lenses and they should give you a prescription-- provided
that the lens brand you want did in fact fit your eye appropriately
and that your exam wasn't such a long time ago that your prescription
might have changed. choosing a satisfactory contact lens brand is
something you need to do properly within a short time of your exam.
what brand of toric are you wearing? many brands of toric lenses are
less expensive than Acuvue Oasys is.
