BTW, I wear contacts. However, apparently, by law - my optometrist is restricted in giving me a general prescription to wear any contact lenses that fit my prescription, and must authorize a specific name-brand prescription lens.

Never had that problem outside of the US. Oh, and "over there", it takes me 15 minutes to get my lenses. Over here? Two weeks.
