I found contact lens to be cheaper here than in Sweden

But also you can't buy them without a prescription from a doctor, which itself costs money (for a visit) — and usually even with insurance, because of some "copay" bullshit.

In other countries you can just buy it.

Yeah, true. Don't understand why one needs a prescription for contacts here in the US
