Second time I went to buy new contacts from the optometrist they told me I cant buy a new box from them because it had been just over a year since i got my last checkup. Apparently they cant sell you contacts if you haven't had a checkup even if you want to buy the same prescription as last time. So they wanted me to pay another 100 for a checkup first. I went home bought them online for 1/2 the price and have done so ever since.
If you do a bit of shopping online and are willing to buy a year supply at once you can usually get quite a deal. IIRC I buy them for around $40/box. I get the 1 month night and day's so 160/for the year with free shipping and the sites I've gone to fed-ex them so they are there next day. Much better than the almost 500 my optometrist wanted.
