Cheapest place to get contact lenses?

  • I tried the daysoft ones, I couldn't get on with them...

    Went back to Acuvue dailies..

    I used to get mine from the USA, but was hit with customs charges 50% of the time. Now for the last year I get them from https://www.lenses4net.com

    The company is based in Sweden, but delivery only takes a few of days with no customs charges...

    Also you can purchase as few as you want, I get annoyed at some UK companies making you buy 90 days supply. At lenses4net you can buy 30 days supply.

    Their price for 30 days supply of Acuvue is £25.50 + £4.80 = £30.30 - cheaper than Asda :T

    I wouldn't recommend this but they do not check your prescription. Just tell them what you want and tick the disclaimer - its great :)

    Cheers

    The £15.50 ones from Specsavers are continuous wear i.e: wear them day and night for £30 and throw away. No solutions, cases etc. I prefer that to daily disposables personally and I think Specsavers are the cheapest for continuous wear. D&A charge £30 per month!!
  • These continuous daily wear ones are not as safe as daily ones... and cost more...

    I get my lenses from https://www.visiondirect.co.uk i pay £32 for 6months supply of monthly disposables after first order its free P&P I can't fault them

    I've just paid £52 for a year's supply of monthly disposables from Vision Direct for both myself and my OH (£104 in total) less 20% Quidco. Very, very chuffed with that price. Even beats the supermarkets, and with that sort of commission it's a serious saving.

    Hi, has anyone had any problems with Vision Direct? What about Quidco tracking? Thanks.

    I get Acuvue Advance for astigmatism from Costco. They are £80 for 6 months' worth, which is considerably cheaper than anywhere else I looked at, instore or online.

    Obviously, if you're not already a member, you have to factor in the membership fee.

    Oh, and the obligatory £400 spend on things you don't need every time you visit.
