I had always wanted to wear Contact Lenses because I want to change the color of my eyes. And what color do I want? Green! Yup some people may find this weird but I would love it if my eyes were green because I find it unique and interesting. Well I‘ve found good ones from a site online and I’m very happy coz I found them with great price at Lensesco.com via this link: http://www.Lensesco.com

can you order lenses from the USA - withe £/$ exchange they are about 2/3 the price of lenses here.

last three times i ordered from Canada/US I got customs charges slammed on the package so it turned out cheaper to order from an EU company.:rolleyes:

buying from US is ok as they are covered by Federal regulation similar to UK. Just need a Rx to show them

Just started wearing daily contact lenses from Specsavers, and am currently paying £22 for 30 pairs. I'm on the Sainsburys comparison chart trying to work out the equivalent brand but I'm not sure whether I have the B&L Easyvision One Day, or the CIBA Easy Vision One Day contact lenses.

Is there a way of finding out? What's the difference?

check the boxes or packets:
Ciba dailies have specifications of Base Curve 8.6, diameter 13.8. The individual blister packs are teardrop-shaped and have a blue top
B&L dailies are BC 8.6, diameter 14.2, I think the packs have silver tops on them.

Thank you! I have the Ciba Dailies. I'm saving a good £10 on 90 pairs now!

Thanks once again

Not bought any yet but plan too soon... A friend told me the cheapest you can buy them in a 1 month supply is Asda online.

The cheapest I have found are Daysoft. They've got UV protection too.

Hello,

I've been using Daily Disposible contacts for around 6 months now, but went into D&A for an assessment for Extended Wear lenses, but they said they will not give me a prescription until I have been with them for three months, after I signed up on their Direct Debit scheme.

Is this really the law?

Also, what age would you reccomend to be the minimum to wear Day and Night Lenses?

Thanks
