Welcome Back

I have been wearing contact lenses since I was 16. I remember the hard kind that felt like sandpaper in your eyes after 8 hours. I remember the new soft kind, when they first were manufactured. In those days you could only get them through your eye doctor. They cost about $40 for each lens. They were treated like a controlled substance. You had to call your doctor when you needed a replacement. You even had the option of taking out insurance on them. As the years went by, companies started to sell them in bulk, online. Once you sent in a prescription you were good to go for years. You ordered them at your own discretion. I now wear the disposable kind that you replace every two weeks. If you read back the previous sentence, I said, "That YOU replace every two weeks". I replace them when they either rip or feel uncomfortable. If that means once every 6 months, that is when I use a new lens. Last week, I needed to order more lenses. I made the call from work. I was told that the last time I ordered lenses was in 2011.As I was placing the order, I received an important call, so I had to tell the lens company that I would call back later. The next day, in my email, I received a coupon for $15 off, welcoming me back. I guess by hanging up, they thought I did not want the product, so a coupon was sent to "welcome me back with open arms". That is exactly what it said. My $24 order was now $9. I love being welcomed back.
