Mine is a couple of blocks away from my office downtown. A quick in and out for my annual exam, and I leave with my script. Only thing I don’t get is my PD, but Costco does that and provides it to me when I get glasses there. And it’s not like it’s something that will change… I had a neighbor

I got in close (but not quite THAT close -- she was married to an airline pilot) with my eye doctor when I was stationed in DC. Turns out that the disposable contact lenses and the $200-a-pop / clean and reuse contact lenses come off of the same line. The only difference is the packaging.
