Contact lenses cost for kids

Hi
My daughter is 11.5 yrs old and has worn glasses since she was 3. She’s currently having a free trial of contact lenses from Specsavers. She will need daily disposable lenses if the trial goes well. So far, no costs have been discussed and I wish I’d asked. Does anyone know approx monthly costs of daily disposable lenses for children please specifically the ones from specsavers?
Thabk you !

I pay I think £24 a month, and the delivery comes every 3 months, but these are not daily.
I think DD gets enough for 5 days a week? Something like that.

So daily ones would be a bit more per month.

Is she gets along well with the contacts when you go back they will discuss cost, and how many pairs you want per week, and you can decide.

I pay £18 a month from specsavers for dailies. I don't know if they'd be cheaper for children would they?

I think I only get 10 though as I don't really wear my lenses that much anymore.

Interested in this thread?

I've got 2 using contacts, eldest changed to monthlies after a couple of years but should be £14 a month. Youngest has specialist myopia lenses so they are £38 a month.
Both via specsavers, I might change eldest to elsewhere in a few years time. I just want to make sure they are managed properly.

Not sure if that made sense.

I mean they are daily disposables, but not everyday, like I said I think it works out 5 days a week.

I pay £22 a month for my 20 pairs a month with Specsavers. I wouldn’t expect childrens to be much, if at all cheaper. Bonus is free check ups, sight tests and reduced glasses.

Great thanks; that’s about the price I was expecting, phew! X
