CIBA Vision Ridiculous Contact Lense Rebates!!!! Internet

Both my daughter and I wear contac lenses, and I now have to suffer through two different types of rebate processes, which seem to be unavoidable now. What makes me so angry is that I know they're trying to make it as difficult as possible so I won't send in my form and they can make an even bigger margin than they already do.

I'm so frustrated with the time it's taking me to do my two submissions that I will ask my eye doctor if he has a brand that will give me a competitive price without me having to do a rebate. I doubt he will, however, because it's to his benefit to carry the brands that have a rebate because of the chances of him not having to pay out part of his profit. Why sell something that will always give him a lower margin?

Not to sound paranoid, but I'm sure I'll discover that I have to be a slave to this system or just wear glasses - I feel like a chump.
