Daily silicone hydrogel contact lenses

yogi_brrr

Hi all,

I searched for threads about silicone hydrogel CLs and the latest I could find was dated 2015, so I was wondering if there had been any updates.
I need to wear silicone hydrogel daily lenses to control blood vessel growth in the cornea, and to prevent a recurrence of corneal ulcers (I had a pretty big one a few years ago from wearing monthlies, and I wouldn't recommend it!)
I have just got through 1 month supply of specsavers linarial which I understand are Coopervision "MyDay". I paid £34 for 30 pairs. At the time, I thought this seemed a bit steep and hoped that once this lot ran out, I could buy the same lenses online at a lower price, but unfortunately, have not been able to find cheaper yet.
I was wondering if anyone else has managed to find these lenses cheaper elsewhere? Or if there is a cheaper equivalent made by a different manufacturer? I am also a (mature) full time student if this helps.

Thanks all for your comments

I wear silicone dailies due to dry eyes and pay £37 a month to my optician - that includes six monthly lens checks. I know it!!!8217;s expensive but I figure my eyes are worth cutting back on other things for if I have to, and having the six monthly checks and access to emergency care gives me peace of mind.

Hi,
Have you looked online at Lenstore? Coopervision My Day are £33.98 for 30 pairs, you will also be entitled to free eye exams and lens check ups at Vision Express. Lenstore will send you reminders to re-order so you don't run out. While the lenses won't be cheaper, you'd be saving on the professional fees.

reduce lens wear to make the lenses go further. Also healthier for the eye if previous ulcers,
