It's ridiculous. I've bought my contacts online from the UK for years now due to this. I know my prescription and I know it works perfectly. Just let me buy the damn contacts! Vision Direct is the company, and they always send candy along with. :) Anyways, my "vision insurance" actually covers a certain $ amount yearly towards contacts, so I send them the receipt (in pounds) and they actually cut me a check. Same contacts brand and model I'd get in the USA. I calculated it and using the insurance does indeed cost me less overall than buying the contacts straight. It's essentially just a discount program that hopes people will forget to use it.
