I have found Specsavers to be brilliant for eye tests and eyecare.

And I order my lenses from the cheapest possible online source - my last lot were from a US site, and arrived within 4 days.

Costco are good for solutions.

i have just ordered my 2nd pair of lenses from https://www.contactlenses.co.uk. The vision was blurry in my right eye when i ordered first and then i realised i had given the wrong prescription. I ordered the 2nd time with the right prescription and its now blurry in both eyes. Any idea why this is happening?

Hi all

Asking this question for a friend. Wants to know if you can soak daily disposible lenses in some sort of a solution to re-use? And if so, how many times can you do this?

Cheers

I think the answer would be no. They are designed to be worn just once. If you were to reuse them then I imagine this would increase the risk of irritation and eye infections.

thats why they are called "disposable"

Contact lens users 'waste money by not reusing disposables'CONTACT lens wearers could save as much as £190 if they reused cheap daily disposable lenses for weeks on end, it was claimed yesterday.
An investigation by Which? magazine found that daily disposable lenses and monthly disposable lenses were almost identical in composition but were vastly different in price....................

Contact lens firms are 'ripping us off'

Have you tried the daily lenses from https://www.daysoft.co.uk I was recommended these on here. You have to have an up to date prescription but they will send you a pack ( £13.98) with 4 trial days so that if they dont suit you, you can get a refund. Well worth it. I have used them for a year now and have saved loads!
