Contact lenses cost for children

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?
Thank you !

I pay £33 a month but I’m in the softest lenses and it’s been a general creep up to that price since I started wearing them at 16!

Im sure people will be along to say you can get them cheaper on line etc but I like the fact I have somewhere to go if I have problems!

thanks for the reminder though that I need to change my address for my next delivery

You can’t buy contact lenses for children online. It’s illegal to supply any type of visual correction online for them.

what’s the brand/type of lens OP as and her prescription and I can tell you.

My Specsavers lenses are £24 a month for 30 pairs. I'm pretty sure I have the cheapest available, I've tried various more expensive ones many times over the last 20 years and always gone back to the cheaper option as I get on better with them.

I pay £27 a month for my daily disposables from Specsavers if that helps. There are cheaper ones they do though I know that

Just to add, I've worn contact lenses since I was 11 or 12 and as far as I recall the price was no different when I was a child or adult.
