No. Although the US$ is weak against the Euro, the postage makes US lens purchase uncompetitive.
You may well be correct about how strict the US laws are, but I edited an earlier post here, which seemed to suggest that it was enough for the Mail Order company to merely try and contact the doctor, not to get an actual reply. Doesn't sound too effective, but at least would stop an eye doctor using delaying tactics to keep clients buying from his/her own practice.
