I've worn the Dailies and they are great. But I'm blind and lazy so I prefer the Night & Day lenses that I wear. You can wear them for up to 30 days straight and sleep in them as well. I've been wearing them for several years (not the same exact pair of course) and LOVE them. I've been wearing contacts for almost 20 years now (gosh I'm getting old) and the Night and Day are just the easiest to deal with.

They have always given free contacts when you are trying a new brand or dramatically different prescription. We used to laugh when people would bring in the certificates, because they are free anyway. It's just an advertising tool used by the contact lens companies. As mentioned before, your eye doctor will recommend what he/she thinks is best and will usually let you try as many as you like (within reason) until you find something that works.

My eye doctor tried 3 other brands on me and I still wanted the ones I have been wearing for years. I wear toric 66 B&L. I hated all the other brands they did not fit right, Dr. H told me when I do my fitting each year I could try what ever I wanted no coupons needed. I just had a contact appt.

Both of them have you wear home a pair of contacts to make sure that they will work for you. We haven't ever used a coupon. We have no optical insurance, so it was $84 for the contact eye exam at Sam's Club. They guarantee the lowest prices on contacts.

Generally speaking you have to have a contact lens exam/fitting fee. Since they have to do different measurements for contacts, etc... It's usually about $35, so if you are just going for a free pair, depending, you might spend more out of pocket. It's probably only most useful if you're considering contacts anyways.

Anytime he wants me to go to a new contact, he'll always do a trial pair first, to make sure I can wear them with no problems. These certificates are usually just a way for the manufacturer to advertise. Of course it's a good idea to check with your eye doctor first, but most you'll find will give you a free pair of whichever kind they feel are best for your eyes.

I guess the only time you would want the certificate is if you were unhappy with the contacts you purchased and were within the 1-year contact prescription expiration period.

You start off with a pair to use for a week and then you come back and order and pay for the actual lenses. I got a free trial pair from my doctor without the certificate and I think anyone can.

The eye doc only does tell me about the ones that best fit my eyes but when i changed brands a few years back that's when i tried acuvue free. no hassle at all.
