Contact Lenses - anyone ordered from these?

I usually buy boxes of 30 Focus Dailies, but a box of 90 is so much cheaper.

A box of 30 is $17.95 and a box of 90 is $35.95. Shipping is $19.95 to the UK

It worries me when people want to save a couple of bucks while risking their eyesight. Don't do it. You only get a pair of peepers in this life.

At $35.95, you risk getting hit by Customs for VAT on the total amount including postage, and by Royal Mail or Parcelforce for a handling charge of £4 or £8 respectively.

But, there’s certainly nothing wrong with getting your lenses using the Internet. See Martin’s article Contact Lens and Laser Eye Surgery Cost Cutting. A lens is a lens is a lens. If you go to your optician once a year to have your prescription and your eyes checked, there’s not much more you get by buying through a high street optician. The only thing you usually get is the offer of free after-care. If you buy lenses over the Internet and have any problems or concerns, it means you have to stump up the cost of an appointment – about £20. You’d still normally end up quids in.
