    Bit of a long shot (and I've looked unsuccessfully), but does anyone have any idea of where I can get some replacements for my orthokeratology lenses? Anywhere in the world? Anywhere at all?

    I always use post optics (www.postoptics.co.uk) and have found them the cheapest for years approx £50 for three months supply of Focus Dailies.

    I also have a diff prescription in each eye & i order just 2 boxes so I dont think theres a left or right lense.

    some online contact lens places let you pick the power in each eye so u dont have to order extra boxes.
  • do you know any with no import duties and prescription requirement?

    How much is import duty if the order comes to £110?

    My daughter is prescribed Acuvue Moist Daily by D&A in a high prescription. I sent for some Daysoft lenses online which are a fraction of the cost and she loves them! She says they are much easier to put in and can wear them for longer.
