Contact lenses

It also puts them out of the reach of the UK regulatory bodies as they are fitting contact lenses remotely with no assesement of the suitability or fit.

Although I would agree that if the lenses are doing no harm no problem I would take the 20DK thing from their website with a pinch of salt.

I believe we should more conscious about the quality than price in case health and this is the case of eyes therefore we should much more conscious about the things!

Thanks all. Some very useful info. I do know my contact lens prescription but think my local optician will not like the idea of them doing checks on my eyes and me buying lenses elsewhere. I also know that with my current optician they do a contact lens check which is different to an eye test so I was wondering how that worked.

I will check out the Companies mentioned and do a bit more research I think.

My optician also offers an on line lens ordering system. He is an independent optom not one of the big chains. He does Buasch and lomb dailies starting at £72 for 90 pairs.

I am speaking personally now and not dispensing advice or recommending certain practices but i use contacts when im working and tend to wear my specs evenings and weekends. I double dip my contacts, that is to say, i use them two days on the run. I have a lens case that i keep scrupulously clean and i take them out on day one, clean and soak them over night, rinse in morning of day two, pop in then bin them at the end of day two.

Dailies are by far the safest and healthiest mode of wearing contacts interspresed with periods of specs wearing.
