Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Where do you buy your contact lenses from?

Hey, was just wondering where people buy their contact lenses from and which are most comfortable and cheapest :smile:

Thanks to any replies. Also if this is not the right place for this thread I apologise as I thought this is where it fitted best :s-smilie:

I don't want/need contact lenses. I have never bought any.

I get mine from Specsavers. Usually the 120 pairs for €99 (I'd say a different price in the UK), daily disposables. I have only ever gotten mine from there.

If you are worried about how comfortable they feel, maybe you should speak to your optician about the ones you are using.

That's where I've got mine from in the past it's just I've heard of cheaper places online and was just wondering which websites people recommended :smile:

The ones I had were okay but uncomfortable sometimes but not that often.

I buy mine from Specsavers...I'm fairly sure I'm being ripped off by them but I still go there...

I'd like to find a different place :smile:

Its just I dont know how it works buying them online what with eye tests/ contact lens checks etc...

Yeah same. Cost me £52 for one months worth of lenses there last time I was like :eek:

It looks relatively simple but I don't know some of the information which I will need to get from specsavers :colonhash:

I just have the ones my optican told me suited my eyes. I didn't know there was a market!

I'm paying around £24 a month for lenses, solution and lens case for monthly soft contact lenses
