Cheapest/best place for contact lenses???

Options
Hi,

I am using Acuvue Advance (2weekly) and these are running out now, so any idea where I can get them for least? I used to buy my lenses in the US but with the exchange rate it is now not worth it i dont think?

Thx

    daysoft.co.uk switch to dailies,much more healthy and daysoft is a great product IMHO

    Check with your practitioner.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Did you choose these lenses yourself after trying others or are they just the ones the optician gave you? I wear acuvue oasys and pay £16.50 per box at ASDA (also get a staff discount on top of this, should say here that i work for asda opticians). I think advance are roughly the same but if you've got an awkward base curve or really dry eyes you might be stuck with them.

    I would recommend shopping online for them, there are links on martins main website to a few suppliers, avoid the big high street names as they try to catch you into their direct debit schemes which are a nightmare (was in a D&A one when I was 17 and ended up with loads of lefts and no rights one month!)

    I love Vision Direct.. they're really reliable, give a decent Quidco discount, and I usually get free postage vouchers as well.
