Contact lenses assessment - cheapest?

I need to get new contact lenses as I'm pretty sure my prescription has changed. Vision express (my usual opticians) want £50 for the test alone. :eek: Ideally I'd just want to get my prescription and order online, but I wouldn't mind ordering a pair or two from the ops if it works out cheaper. I definitely don't want to get onto any DD schemes.

Anyone know of/ recommend any cheaper opticians? I'm in London so most major chains are available to me.

  • I've had great luck with Boots - I paid about £100 for the assessment and the first three months of lenses, which come to £10 per pair (monthly), so the assessment itself works out to be £70. They're definitely the cheapest and most comfortable lenses I've come across.

    The plan I was on was a DD but I'm sure they have pre-payment options as well.
