    You'll need to know your prescription. I go to my opticians for a yearly check they have to give you a copy of your prescription, plus its on the box on your contact lenses if you already have a set.

    Hope this helps
  • I'm not sure about these dicount sites. I pay £13 per month for my monthly O2 Optix lenses from Specsavers. This price includes delivery, solutions and cases but also free checks and half price glasses, and if I lose a pair (once) they will replace them free of charge too. So, I'm not convinced that I would actually save enough on these direct sales especially as solutions etc... are all extra, to make it worth my while as I would lose the security of knowing I'll get A1 customer service from the opticians if I have any problems. Is there anything that should convince me otherwise?
    Irony.

  • I agree with Flutterby, I pay £11 month for my Optix lenses from Specsavers and receive excellent aftercare from them. Far cheaper than Asda at £56.00 for 3 months too!!
    Its nice to be important but more important to be nice!
  • Littlemiss - are yours Optix O2's? If so, I wonder why my Specsavers charge me £2 more...?
    Irony.

  • I have a feeling they are........but am at work at the mo, so when I get home will check the box and let you know.
