I have daily disposable multifocals and I pay around £45/month.

Thanks everyone for your experiences and prices. I currently only pay £12 a month for my contact lenses, so will be quite a jump for varifocal lenses but I think I'll trial them and see how I go. Thanks again.

I have daily multifocals and pay £46 a month - it recently jumped up from £41. I should be -4.75 in each eye with a “low add” but wear -4.25 in my left which compromises distance slightly but reading is better. My direct debit includes six month checks and also 50% off glasses.

I tried mono vision and multifocals about five years back and couldn’t get on with either, then did another trial of the multis and it just clicked. I turned 50 last week so maybe it was just desperation not to wear reading glasses!
