I pay approximately £10 a month for lenses/solutions etc and then £15 every 6 months for a checkup - so that works out to about £12.50 a month.

Via D&A so specs are half price. Was paying £11 a month 40 pairs every 3 months but I wasn't wearing them!

That sounds like the deal I'm on now, except I got a box in November, a box in December and another yesterday

I must be deluding myself

I am on a D&A scheme. £22 a month for 30 disposables every 2 months. free eye checks, aftercare and eye tests and half price glasses.

whenever I build up too many lenses at home, I just ring up D&A and they cancel the direct debit for a few months but I still keep all the benefits!

i buy mine online as i wear toric lenses and they are half what i would pay from the opticians.

I have my test done at the opticians and request the pescription, then just order them online. I also wear glasses but as i was getting free lenses (NHS) i just have them put in my old frames each time ( when i was rich i bought some nice FCUK frames)

No both eyes so is cost effective!

Why on earth would you think I would only give the price for ONE eye!

£10 per month for torics, i have a +9.50 and +10.50 presciption, had to wear GP lenses for a year to flatten my astigmatism a bit but well worth it to get cheaper lenses.

Lauren. please can I ask where you get your contacts from please? I am toric +8.50 and + 7.00. I have searched all over the net for places that go to that high of prescription but to no avail. I am currently wearing d and a toric lenses. £26 a month for 1 pair of lenses. But they give me lenses which are only +6.0 in each eye.They said I will get used to them but to be honest I do struggle and would love contacts that meet my prescription.

many thanks
