To buy contact lenses online?

[Elfina]

I'm due a lens check, which I will certainly go to as soon as I can but Specsavers can't give me a flipping appointment outside of my working hours before 6 weeks! I'm about to run out of lenses. Would just getting some online be daft?

I buy all mine online, never had any problems with them at all.

Can you tell me where you get them,beanie??!!

I get mine from VisionDirect, formerly GetLenses. They're great. So long as you know the prescription, it's fine.

I get mine online too. The company I use have recently re named themselves and I cant flippin remember what its called. But I get free next day delivery with them.

Yes that's the one! Same as patrick.

I get mine from Vision Direct too. Never had any problems.

Vision direct here too - no problems, quick and cheap

I've got some from daysoftlenses before to tide me over till my next ones arrived and they were fine.

You'll need a current prescription to get them online.

If they can't give you an appointment, they should provide you with enough lenses until your appointment, even if you haven't had your lens check.

Is there another Specsavers you could go to? They seem to be everywhere!

Vision direct here too, for mine, ds1, dds and now ds2.

Highly recommend

Getting them on-line is fine - they'll be exactly the same lenses, but the on-line supplier will need to check with your optician and isn't allowed to supply them unless you've got uptodate aftercare

I use VisionDirect too

I didn't have a problem with lenses bought online but the supermarket solution made my eyes red and sore, so I went back to Specsavers. You can get another pair if you call them up, not sure how quickly they'll be delivered.

I use vision direct you don't need a prescription as long as u know ur lenses strength they trust you to get regular checks on your eyes etc. it's next day delivery I've never had any problems . I also like the fact you get a little pack of haribo and a calendar with your order

Fine to buy them online but make sure you have an up to date prescription and buy the exact ones prescribed.

another vote for VisionDirect - very easy. I have only bought from them twice - but both very straightforward.

"but the on-line supplier will need to check with your optician and isn't allowed to supply them unless you've got uptodate aftercare"

That is not true.

I do get my eyes checked at Specsavers, but I just tell them I buy the same lenses online. They are happy with that.

I have never been asked for a copy of my prescription or information about my optician- online companies don't care.
I buy my lenses from contactlenses.co.uk- fast delivery and very cheap.

lentiamo.co.uk for me

www.google.co.uk/search?q=contact+lenses&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=PdTsVL7OLeu57ga00oCIDA#tbs=cat:2923,pdtr0:741809|741811&tbm=shop&q=contact+lenses&spd=0

I use daysoft. Never had any problems.

Dunno what went wrong with the link for the search; here's a shortened version

I like the haribo too Lolly. I think all post should contain sweets.

Why do you have to get your eyes checked regularly if your sight seems the same? It's a year since I've had mine checked. Is there a reason for going more often?

I found Second Sight Contact Lenses to be v gd and cheaper than Vision Direct
