Free contact lens trial?

Does anyone know where i can get a free contact lens trial apart from Specsavers.

I have had the phone put down on me five times and various problems at the branch so not interested in Specsavers.

I have heard boots do it but the pandemic might have affected things!

    Most places do offer free free contact lens trials, but due to the pandemic waiting lists have reached epic proportions! Durijng the lockdowns opticians that could open were not able to offer routine care, just emergencies,and therefore are looking at 3 month waiting lists for appointments (we are also having to bump routine appointments for emergency sight threatening conditions). Sorry to say but if you have workable glasses and fancy trying contact lenses and we have to take on an emergency, we are averaging 3 a day, your appointment has been deemed low priority and may need to be cancelled short notice.
