Quality of Spectacle Lenses?
Just had an eye test yesterday as I've felt my vision hasn't been great lately. However, my prescription has barely changed - making me wonder: Do the lenses used by different companies vary in the quality of the image I'm seeing?

How to avoid Vision Express rip off? Also cheaper glasses?
My boyfriend is blind in one eye and receives subscription lenses from Vision Express. He hasn't been wearing them due to lockdown so he has loads stockpiled by his bed. I have nagged him continously to cancel this direct debit - only yesterday I found out he pays £21.60 a month, so 3x30 boxes 90 lenses every 3 months.…

Does the NHS offer Root Canal on a back molar?
Hi everyone, I've recently come into a problem with my Upper Right back molar. A filling is too deep causing pain on the nerves when eating and my Dentist says a solution is to perform a root canal. He has offered it to me privately. Unfortunately, due to covid and work it's not something I can afford and would rather go…

How to go private with Medicash?

Careprost
Hi all, I have bad eyelash loss especially in the last few years. Finally told I have mild blepharitis as that’s what I’d been treating. I’ve spent a fortune on mascaras, lash lifts and serums. I’m considering buying Latisse but it’s £105 for 3/4 months. I’ve heard there’s a product at a fraction of the price but can only…

Private Health or NHS
Hi all I am in the process of sorting out my life insurance once and for all. While fact-finding and researching, a friend suggested I could just get basic life insurance and then get private health insurance as it might be cheaper that way than a life insurance including critical or terminal included. However, having…

Boots Bundle Deal? Or not so...
I have just found that currently with the special offers on the boots website (18/02/21) they have a Nivea Men Bundle for £12.50, however if you purchase them all separately it’s 38p cheaper, plus with the saving of £2 on a £10 spend on selected toiletries (which isn’t recognised in the bundle offer) you save even more. I…

The Great 'Medical Tourism' Hunt
It's no surprise that operations and dentistry are often a lot cheaper if done outside the UK; but of course it's balanced by the difficulty of aftercare and concerns over regulation and quality. So I wanted to tap MoneySavers' collective wisdom to find out more. If you've been abroad for medical or dental treatment, I'd…

Receeded Gum
Hi All, I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment. For the past year I've had what I would say looks like a really bad receeded gum, it's on one of my bottom front teeth so really noticable but it doesn't cause me any pain whatsoever. I moved cities quite a while ago now but never got around to finding a dentist before…

£160 for a special filling? Was not given nhs option
I am currently registered as an NHS patient at my practice. Roughly, 14 years ago I had an issue with a rear molar. I had preliminary root work and a temporary cap/filling put on top.
