Buying online contact lenses

6 replies

I've had Boots daily disposable contacts for years, but the price has now gone up to £35 a month (for 6 a week).

I've heard of online - can anyone recommend a good site?

And what information do I need to give them?

Thanks 😊

Used to get mine from Lenstore when I wore them. If I remember correctly you can give them a scan/photo of your prescription or might be able to type it in when you order.

There is another website that's good as well but cannot remember the name right now.

I use Feel Good Contacts - just select the lenses you want, and type in prescription and they arrive the next day

I use lenstore. One option might be to go back to boots and say you’re looking to upgrade to a more premium lens, so you’ll then get the name of it, and as long as you’re happy with it, have a look on Google and see who’s offering the best price.

Thanks for the responses.

My Boots lenses don't have a brand name, and I know my prescription & that it's high oxygen/water/comfort lenses.

Will check out Lens store

I've used Vision Direct for a while. Next day delivery (in letterbox-friendly packaging) and no need to scan your prescription, you can just type in the details when you order.
If you're a new customer it's worth clicking the OFFERS banner on the site as they do some discounts and free trials of certain lenses.
They stick a little bag of Haribo or other sweets in with each order which I thought was cute.

Another satisfied customer of Vision Direct - been using them for many years.
