Free contact lenses

Options
Hi

I wanted to try out some free contact lenses.

Does anyone know where I can get some from as a trial please?

Thanks

  • If you're not just thinking about the internet, Specsavers do a months free trial with no obligation.

    Also if you've not had a consultation before I wouldn't recommend just going ahead and getting some off the internet anyway as different people need different types of lenses and some people cannot use lenses at all.
    :D**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

  • All optitions will do the months trial, i went to Tesco. I was miss-informed here though. Lost one of my trial lenses and am still waiting for a call three weeks later.

    The consultation is the eye test and measuring of your eyes, then you go back after they have ordered the trial lenses in. You need to be able to put them in and take them out correctly 8 times before you start your trial, building up from 2 hrs a day to 10 hours a day.
