I wear my contacts for a couple weeks, even while I am sleeping. I take them out on weekends to give the eyes a rest. I order mine online, through Clearlycontacts.com since I buy a year at a time and put it on the insurance. If I didn't have the insurance, I would probably do WalMart or Costco.

My optometrist charges 100 bucks a box for lenses,and I get them for ~35 a box online when I buy a years worth. You do need to go to the optometrist first to get the prescription and ensure that the contacts you are choosing are right for your eye etc but after that anywhere you get them is essentially the same. I would not trust a guy from Walmart to tell me if I am sticking the correct thing in my eyes.
