You stated:
"Without or without laser correction you WILL need reading glasses at some point if you are using contacts to see farther as the contacts are correcting your near-sightedness. So you will be wearing reading glasses OVER your contacts starting when you are around 45-50."
Just wanted to make sure everyone knows this is not completely true and there are options available.

I can't say they're all like that but in short, if they're selling a box of contacts for cheaper than a legitimate business can buy them wholesale in bulk, and if the website has some cheesy name like this (vs. say, Walgreens), be very skeptical.
Keep in mind it wasn't long ago that we had people literally dying and losing eyes from contaminated sketchy internet eye drops. Contact lenses should be scrutinized equally.
*Oh, and sites almost never verify with your doctor that You're getting the right product. Sometimes they'll even send a "verification" weeks after they've already shipped the product to the customer. If you doubt, call your eye doc and ask.

Reading glasses are available over the counter because you will need them after 45 (give or take a few years, assuming you have good distance vision and aren't in denial). Contacts aren't a necessity (for 99% of people) and are a risk for eye infections if not properly cared for (which many people do not, plenty of evidence on this thread).

If one previously got a prescription and knows their "values", one should be free to buy contacts or glasses regardless of whether that prescription is "expired" (or exists at all). Obviously, if the numbers don't work out anymore, the vast majority of people will have no choice but to get an eye exam as they don't have the skill/knowledge and equipment needed to figure out new values. If my prescription still is just fine after 3 years, I should be free to continue to get the same stuff. Is it a good idea to go see a doctor regardless? Yes. But I should have the choice of skipping that if I know what I need.
After all, you could make the same statement about a gazillion of health conditions, many of which can have serious or fatal outcomes if not treated properly. Nothing that special about eyes. Being blind is arguably better than being dead. Personal responsibility...
