Hey all!
Was just wonderin about deals on contact lenses. I currently pay £12 a month direct debit for monthly disposable contact lenses that get posted to my house
Does anyone know of or already pays for a better deal? Also are contact lenses that last more than a month cheaper and are they of the same quality?
Thanks xxx

I have a feeling a may be getting ripped off...
How do you mean disposable? like daily disposable or monthly disposable?
Mine i wear for 30 days and nights and then put a new pair in
On specsavers website its £30 for 6 months of monthly disposables and £60 for monthly toric??? I have no idea what toric is...
I pay £40 a quarter for monthly continuous wear lenses.
Mr Brites are £14.99 from the same place, but his lenses are slightly different to mine.
ETA - I find mine really easy to put in and take out. At first, obviously it was weird but only took me a couple of attempts to get into the swing of it.
Were they soft or hard contacts? I tried hard ones first of all but they made me eyes itch... they felt like they were scratching my eyeball. Nasty. But the soft ones are spot on.
If you are short-sighted like me then it takes a while to get used to having peripheral vision, but I didn't find it difficult to switch between glasses and contacts.
The main reason I stopped wearing contacts was because they would dry my eyes out after a day, because I used the computer lots, and still do.
These days though i think that they have improved the water amounts with the newer contacts. yarrr.
Where do you get yours from? I was paying £16.50 monthly for mine, which has now gone down to £15.50 (got a letter this morning!) but yours still work out cheaper... i'm with specsavers.
result!
yeah, they have. I wear Focus Dailies, and they're really good, they've never bothered me unless i'm really tired and then they get sticky.
I don't think you're getting ripped off, though by the sounds of it, I am....
