So, I used to grab my lenses (soft ones, obviously) from those super hyped-up boutiques like Smith, but let's be real—those places are just salespeople. It’s totally different from getting them through actual medical clinics... if you know what I mean. Every single time, they’d hand me something different, and I actually ended up recommending them more than once...
Once my allergies started acting up, I headed over to the Mayo Clinic eye center near Central Park. They're actual pros, not just retail workers😉 , and their doctor actually managed to clear up my allergy issues too. I've been getting my lenses there for a while now; my soft ones run about $40 and I swap them out every three months.
Look, I can't speak for the semi-rigid ones, but I'd definitely suggest finding a specialist to buy them from—doesn't have to be some big flashy place, just someone who actually knows their stuff.
