  Should be $45 per box. You have to set aside 30mins for an optometrist to check your eyes, maybe another 1 hour to learn the techniques of inserting and removing the contact lens.

  Goggles can't stop fumes. And if somehow fumes get into YOUR eyes... you're the one that fucked up... not the school.
