The manufacturer of this lens, Benz Research & Development, markets to eye care providers under the guise that they do not sell their lenses to direct-to-consumer companies like 1-800 CONTACTS. Eye care providers can be influenced by this type of marketing by prescribing this lens on the basis of its distribution policy versus the performance merits of the lens. The question for you, the patient, becomes whether you were prescribed this lens because it is the best lens for you or because the doctor who prescribed it thought it guaranteed him/her the sale on you contact lenses. To avoid this conflict, you might consider requesting a prescription for a different brand during your next exam.
