hmm....that looks like glasses and not contact lenses unless I missed something.

https://www.postoptics.co.uk are pretty good.
Not sure whether they are the cheapest but they are a good company so you can rely on getting any problems sorted out.

As always there is no black and white answer because prices change constantly and different companies are better for different lenses.

You should be able to do a search via google or kelkoo and then check out each one individually.
I would stick to UK ones.
You can buy abroad but you need to be careful about VAT and duty so I don't thikn it's worth it.

Cheapest place I've found: https://www.getlenses.com

Used them a few times, very quick delivery!

I have had good experiences with:

https://www.lensway.com (£2.75 cashback with quidco)

https://www.contactforlenses.com (8% cash back with quidco)

Both very cheap and fast delivery.

Glad

there is a contact lens discussion thread that might help here

My son has TORIC monthlys and in-store ASDA charge £50 for six months

Getlenses is £52.44 (free delivery)
Lensway is £62.00 (+3.50 postage = £65.50)
Contact4lenses is £49.98 (+3.50 postage = £53.48)
Postoptics are £52.25 (free delivery)


I'm sticking with ASDA - and you get to speak to an optician as well if you want

Ive got astigmatism in one eye. Cheapest place ive found is Specsavers Direct. you have to order over the phone though because the website cant accept mismatched orders. Been using them without problems for about 3 years now.

Has anyone experienced the same problem as me? My optician refuses to give me my contact lens prescription and says that if I have the eye test done there I have to buy the lenses from them. They are twice the price you can buy them for online, but I cannot buy online without sending my prescription so I am completely stuffed!! I phoned a few other opticians in my area and they all said the same thing - is this legal? Surely they are engaging in unfair competition? Any suggestions?!!
