I reached my fed up being gouged point.. 
I use 30 day disposable toric lenses - rarely wear o/nite but can.
6 lenses/box need 2 boxes as different prescription 4 each eye.
Costs...
Optician $120-140/box *2 = $240-$280 - U pick up or post free
Oz on-line $90 - 105 *2 = $180-$210 - over $175 post free
US on-line $49 - $54 *2 = $98-$108 - Express courier $25.95
They all sell the same product from the same manufacturer.
They all sell at a profit. Justify this massive difference??
I usually buy 4 boxes and some daily disposables.
So this crowd is good... arrived in 10 days - saved $230 = 46%
