Specsavers Contact Lens Direct Debit Scheme

Hello wonderful people,

Are any of you on the Specsavers Contact Lens DD Scheme? I’ve had a trial with them with 5 pairs of daily lenses given to me, which unfortunately didn’t work so, they have offered me a different brand to test. What I am most concerned about is, (I really enjoy wearing lenses) that I was a little shocked that the lady said the lenses which are more suitable for me are in the £30.00 - £45.00 range. It seems like a lot of pounds spent each month - plus, it is likely I won’t wear lenses every single day, as I like to switch around, but will most likely wear them on most days. I have also tried the monthly lenses a while back and really didn’t like them.

How does being signed up to the scheme work? I’m not entirely read up about prices of lenses as I’ve been wearing glasses for most of my life. My prescription is -2.00 in left eye and -1.75 in right.

Thanking you!

23 quid a month because I have stupid astigmatism.

Agree with pp; they can't get glasses right. Which is why I'm reluctant to get the vatifocala i actually need.

Just got a new pair to bed in. Last week it was my fault why i couldn't actually read in them and they came out with a load of bollocks ('But they're for distance. Can you see distance?' Yes, but i would also like to see what's in front of me). I pointed out that I'd been wearing glasses for nearly 40 years, so I kind of know how they work. Lo and behold, they've managed to fix them. Well, one lens, so back we fucking go.
