Anyone ever use Walmart Eyecenter for contacts?

How many times have they messed up on your eye exam? They messed up on my right eye on the first trial. Got it changed to Biomedics (from Bausch Lomb Soflens 66 Toric). Had headaches with one of one brand and one of the other waiting on the trial to come in. I thought the headache was do to having different contact manufactures. Once other matching left contact came in..headaches again. Anyone had any problems like this?

Update:

I have worn contacts for years. Never had problems except needed new contacts. My previous eyecare place closed down recently. I dont know if they just totally messed up on the prescription or what. If they continue for two more days its definitely a problem with the prescription. If thats the case then I will not be going back to them ever. :(

Update 2:

I have worn contacts for about six years. I only went to them (walmart) cause of the flexible schedule. My real doctor is a specialist. I would have to pay out the butt to see him. I HAVE to go to him for glasses. Yes I was wiery about them from the get go. My sister and mother got contacts and have had no problems. Im the only one with a astigmatism. I will be going to a pro from now on no doubt.

    Going to Walmart for glasses or contacts is like going to Billy's welding shop to get your broken leg repaired. Go to a real eye doctor, one who's diploma didn't come off a cereal box.

    I use to get headaches when I wore contacts. I stopped wearing them and just wear glasses now whenever I need them. I know that's not much help but that's my 2 cents. lol

    Mine never did that. Then again, I went to a regular doctor for my perscription and then went to Walmart just for the contacts.

    They did great with me. Hope everything works out.
