Two websites removed...

Lensmart and Vision Direct are websites that deliver brand name replacement contact lenses right to your door packaged in the original manufacturers sterile packaging at prices up to 70% off retail. For Canadian Dollars, you would just click on the Canadian Flag. Now when you click on the Canadian Flag, you get a popup message saying "We recently made some changes to our website. All prices on the site are now reflected in United States dollars...". For this reason, we have removed them from our website. Should they offer Canadian pricing again at some point, we will reconsider adding them at that time.
