Bentonville, AR-Walmart and Sam’s Club are introducing new products, an online and phone contact lens (CL) program, and reduced prices on many popular CLs.

Free shipping is available on orders over $50 for Walmart Contacts and $45 for Sam’s Club Contacts.

Walmart and Sam’s Club have reduced prices on many leading CLs, such as Vistakon’s Acuvue Oasys and Acuvue Moist and Alcon’s Air Optix Aqua.
