I want cheap disposable daily contact lenses

Hi specsavers last week were doing an eye test for £5.00 and also a free contact lens trial.

That is a rip off charging you for the check up. I used to get my lenses through Dolland & Aitchison and it was all in for £11.00 per month. However I did have a problem over some glasses and so jacked it in and started buying them online from http://www.contactforlenses.com/index.asp who I found to be the cheapest for my lenses but I would agree with the previous comment about having used a particular lens for some time before just buying off the net.

If you do use http://www.contactforlenses.com/index.asp you get 8% cashback thru quidco which is pretty good!

Anyhow, I don't have to trouble myself with such issues now as I had laser eye surgery a few months back and am very pleased at not having to wear glasses or lenses anymore :j

I've just booked for my annual eye test for contact lenses and they are going to charge me £75 for it. If I had been buying my contact lenses from them, they would have charged me only £20 for the test. Doesn't that defeat the point of buying lenses cheaply on the Internet? Is this practice common among opticians?

That seems an enormous rip-off. Even when I went to Boots for an annual sight test and contact lens check it was only £25 which is a LOT less than I've saved since quitting the Boots direct debit plan. I'm saving almost £200 a year on the cost of the lenses since leaving Boots and they're the same lenses.
