Best deal for contact lenses for a child for 1-2 wears per week?

DD is happy with her glasses but struggles with netball and football when it rains so would like contact lenses to wear once or twice a week.

She also probably needs a new pair of glasses every year.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where might be cheapest for this usage pattern? Are there all in deals including glasses where you then only pay for the lenses you use?

Thanks
I think....

    For that limited use she would probably be better with one day disposable lenses. Also removes the need to clean the lenses reliably and buy solutions etc.

    If she is under 18 it may be unlawful to buy lenses online, even with a prescription. That certainly applies to glasses so I assume it would apply to contact lenses too. So she would have to order them from the optician.

    I second dalies. It is illegal for anyone unregisted to supply contact lenses or spectacles to children.
