I dont know about Korean prices, but as far as it goes here in the states, that is EXTREMELY expensive. Here they run for around $80-$120 per PAIR, not single. They can be obtained from any eye care profesional, or they can be order online. When you order them online, you need to have had an eye exam from an eye care professional. I know there are a whole bunch of sites online that do this, and most of them ship internationaly. One of them is wildeyes.com Just search the boards, and you should be able to find other sites. Some other info that might be able to help you, is at http://www.likeastory.com/boards/Forum19/HTML/000474.html ------------------

Thats right. Only a hundred bucks or so, for both. White is a very common special effect contact. However, if you wanted special, like I often need, such as all bright red, or alien eyes, or firey eyes, etc.. then you are looking to pay more, sometimes over a hundred more (still talking about for the PAIR here). But since white is fairly common, it is relatively cheap. Dont forget, that to make a contact that is all one color, is a very cheap process, and costs the manufactuers merely a FRACTION of what WE pay for them. Its just the ones with special designs, or multiple colors and such that cost alot to make. In all honestly though, I would go back to this guy and say "Hey, whats the deal. How come for the price you are selling for, i can get 5, i repeat 5 PAIRS, for what you are charging for ONE pair. If you cant be more reasonable, then I will take my buisness elsewhere." I mean, here is the states, $250 for one, in fact $250 for even a pair, is quite rediculous. ------------------

Don't forget the cost of an EYE EXAM from a qualified EYE DOCTOR. YOu MUST have a prescription to buy these and use them on the person for whom they are specifically made. They are not GENERIC and do not fit just anyone. And you can do damage to a person's eyes by not having a proper fit. But the cheapest I've seen wildeyes was just recently on sale for $36.50 for each lens. That is just $73.00 for the pair plus an eye exam at about $50 bucks. So it's still WAY cheaper. But don't forget that all important eye exam by a qualified eye doctor.Just an FYI. FXMan

Go to Walmart around halloween, I got mine there for around $60. Just make sure you get an eye exam, don't just order on line without the proper measurements as you can do serious damage to your eyes. | |
