I've never dabbled with fortnightly /monthly lenses. I only use dailies though i do double dip them, ie whip them out on day one,give them a rub and a rinse in some soaking solution and slip them in a lens case overnight with clean soaking solution. Every other day i thorughly clean the case with hot water and anti microbial spray and let it air dry. Note, i am not recommening this, this is my personal choice

Where do you get them and for how much?

I think dailies will be the next thing to try for me. I found monthlies last d really well, but these fortnightlies are terrible - fine when in and working but last a maximum of a week.

Hi

I buy them direct from my optometrist as his prices cant be beaten.

I currently use coopervision Softique one day dailies and just checking his price is £78 for 90 pairs. I can make 90 pairs last 6 months as i double dip and dont always wear contacts every day so that works out about £26 per month or £13 pm if i double dip

The cheapest he does is bausch and lomb 90 pairs @ £72

Thanks for the info. Good idea about double dipping, I'd do the same - works out much cheaper than Specsavers' ~£30 month. However, that does come with the annual check ups included and availability to have appointments whenever required if there are any issues, eye problems etc.


How much do you pay for your annual checks, ad hoc visits etc.? I am trying to decide if it is worth coming off the lensmail package and just sourcing my own lenses online.
