Specsavers Easyvision Sential / Clariti 1 day / silicon hydrogel lenses

I wear Specsavers Easyvision Sential, which cost £25 per month and are only available in store, which is a pain. I'm trying to find out what the branded equivalent is to compare prices and it looks like it might be Clariti 1 day, but I'm not sure. That's my first question. My second question is, assuming it is Clariti 1 day, does anyone know where I can get them cheaper than Specsavers? I'm open to buying abroad etc. Any tips would be much appreciated. I like these silicon hydrogel lenses because my eyes were previously getting very dry with Focus Dailies, but they're pretty expensive. Thanks a lot.

    Sauflon are the manufacturer - they used to supply opticians only but I'm not sure if they still have that policy.

    You can get sential on direct debit through specsavers?

    Sauflon. Yes, that's what I thought. I think they're Clarity 1 day, but I'm not 100%. Not that I can find them at a good price anywhere else. I don't want to go for the direct debit because I don't wear them every day and they'll just pile up and be a waste of money. It doesn't look like there's any other option right now; I'll just have to wait and see if they become available anywhere else at a later date. Thanks anyway.

    I have a similar issue as I wear contact lenses irregularly and not often enough to even use the 10 a month of the lowest direct debit, but they are good about stopping and restarting the direct debits.

    That's interesting, thanks. I'm going to look into that. I was thinking I would be tied in for 12 months or something.
