Online contact lenses recommendations please

Can anyone recommend an online site for ordering contacts please? I usually order through vision express but I’ve forgotten and need some sooner than they deliver. Thanks 😊

Vision Direct, next day delivery and even a free bag of haribo too. I’ve used them for years.

Boots is good, delivers and has annual checks as part of the deal. I'm not sure if any of these would need to test you first though.

Vision Direct or Feel Good Contacts do next day delivery.

MrsTJOsbornee · 14/04/2021 15:22

Another vote for Vision Direct!

BabbleBee · 14/04/2021 15:44

Thanks all.

I need Toric lenses so looks like I have to be patient...

Vision direct they do toric lenses I'm sure

HelloMama · 14/04/2021 15:56

I use Feel Good Contacts online and they've been really good (I have an unusual prescription so can't get next day delivery, bit usually within 72 hours...). They're also good for solutions etc too. And always put a little something in the package to make you smile ...

Feel good. They deliver next day even if you order late evening, I've no idea how that works! Usually a discount code kicking around.

BabbleBee · 14/04/2021 17:39

I called my optician to ask how long they take to deliver and said I wanted to try daily instead of 2 weeks and I’m being sent some on trial so I’ve just saved a few quid! Torics have to be ordered and don’t usually come next day apparently

Vision Direct 100%. Super speedy and never had any issues with the brand I buy 😊

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 14/04/2021 17:56

I use contactlenses.co.uk which offer next day delivery. They do Torics too and prices are good compared to the ones quoted to me by Specsavers.

MrsPnut · 14/04/2021 17:58

Vision Direct send Tories next day, I use Biofinity Tories and have done for years.

MrsPnut · 14/04/2021 17:59

Torics not Tories, I don't want deliveries of tories.

BabbleBee · 14/04/2021 18:31

@MrsPnut

Torics not Tories, I don't want deliveries of tories.
That would be horrendous! Grin

Vision Direct. Amazingly reliable. Always next day.

MrsSugar · 14/04/2021 18:38

Daysoft ! They r brilliant and so cheap. Unfortunately I have astigmatism so can no longer use them but I did for years !

hangsangwitch · 14/04/2021 18:44

Feel Good - very very fast delivery.

gwilt · 14/04/2021 18:46

Feel Good vote again. Super fast (and you get a free mini packet of Haribo in the delivery).

Sory to hijack this thread but I ordered some lenses from contactlenses.co.uk this week as I must have thrown out some of my dailies and my usual Specsavers aren't due for 2 weeks. They were half the price and I'm thinking of moving to online but what happens when you need a check up. Can you just pay for that at an opticians?

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 14/04/2021 19:27

I've bought from lenstore.co.uk when my optician was having a problem with their supplier and the service was very good.

VodkaSlimline · 14/04/2021 19:43

Second Sight Online seem to have the beat prices and their service is great - used them for years!

user64325 · 14/04/2021 19:46

I've used contact lenses.co.uk for 13 years and no issues, good price and always arrive really quickly.

Yes, I usually just go to spec savers for a check up and carry on buying online.
Eastereggfan · 14/04/2021 21:11

@MrsPnut - thanks. I think I'm going to do that, will definitely save sone money buying online.
