Doors anyone have a vision express dd for contact lenses?

Can i ask you how it works?

My 12yr old is going for a fitting appointment tomorrow and when we were there last week they said it might be worth considering the dd as well also get 50% of her glasses, as well as the nhs voucher.

But i can’t find any details of cost online!

I don’t think she’ll wear them every day, and i also don’t know whether she should go for monthly or daily.

Any advice would be much appreciated x

Mine are monthly and I pay about £28 a month. I also get 50% off glasses and all eye tests and contact lens check ups are free. All fluids & cases are included.
I've been with them for many years.

My daughter got lenses at 13. She went with Specsavers only because the fitting for lenses at VE she didn't gel with the fitter.

Shes very happy with hers and wears then everyday!

Brill! Thank you @IceyBisBack

I’m trying to forge out if it’ll be worth it as she’s already eligible for free eye tests. But she also likes the expensive brands 😅

How much do you pay at Specsavers for your daughters? If they get 50% off glasses is that 50% of any charge if you go above the £70 threshold for free glasses?

@Keepoffmyartichokes the guy at my VE said that my dd will get 50% off and the nhs voucher. So I’d assume so for your case.
