Can Anyone Recommend A Contact Lens Supplier Online?

As the title suggests it has been a while since I bought contacts online and I have just had a free trial in the high street and now have an up to date prescription for lenses but want to save money and buy them online as I only use them occasionally.

Does anyone have any recommendations; I am looking for daily disposables. I am in a daze with the variety of online retailers.

    Great link from pmduk. I've just run my lenses through there and the suppliers I use - FeelGood - come out top for mine. I've been using them for a few years and have found them fantastic. Great price, quick delivery and very easy to reorder when needed.

    Just stay away from daysoft lenses, they are awful, they scratched my corneas.

    I know it's not mail order but I get mine from Asda, £29.99 I think for 3 pairs/3 months (monthly Air Optix).

    Asda offer mail order as well, they're cheapest for my lenses.
  • I find Daysoft great. Focus dailies really irritated my eyes but these are fine

    Me too . i have been using DS lenses for over a decade and had no issues. Perfect sharp vision, comfortable/not aware of them and great value. Healthy too as thrown away each day.
    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..
  • I wear Daysoft too. The only difference I find with these and the Acuvue Dailies is the material of Daysoft lenses are slightly thicker.

    If I do buy Acuvue, I get them from Asda.
