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?

If you wear lenses then you should get your eyes checked annually. It's illegal to dispense lenses without a valid prescription

Just checked the vision direct site. Looks like they get round the requirement for a prescription by using a sister European site? Asdas are cheaper for my lenses, only £9 a box of 30 daily disposables.

Is vision direct that one with the awful advert where the woman's life is suddenly awful if she has to go to work with glasses on?

[MsRyanGosling]

I use Daysoft too. £5.99 a box of 30 IIRC and 25p for p&p.

Vision Direct here too! I get the minimum amount per month from Vision Express in the high street to get lens aftercare and sight checks included to make sure my eyes are all healthy, but buy the bull.of my lenses online from Vision Direct

[OhNoNotPooAgain]

I mean the bulk sorry!

I got mine from Daysoft for years. Only stopped because I developed astigmatism and you can't get toric lenses from Daysoft. They were great.

I use daysoft for mine. I still get my monthlys from Specsavers (plus I get my eye test/lens check every year too) but now I'm pregnant i cant wear the monthly disposables anymore, my eyes are too dry so use a mix of days off dailies and my glasses.

Daysoft. Been happily using their daily disposables for years. Also I think you have to confirm you've had an eye/lens check within the last 2 years. Would recommend them highly!

I also use VisionDirect and have no problems with them

Its perfectly possible to use daysoft even though you have astigmatism. Daysoft are spherical lenses and they dont make torics but generally, low values of astigmatism van easily be accomodated by spherical lenses. Even if you do order on line, it is imperative to have a full eye exam at least annualy as many conditions can be diagnosed via eye exams and many are nothing to do with eyesight !
