Yes, IME, which is why I posted thus. I search the cheapest supplier at the time. If Boots has changed its pricing to compete, that's great.Really? I read the bit on Money Saving Expert that suggests that but I can’t find my lenses online any cheaper than I’m getting them from Boots.
For example, I’m paying £43 a month with Boots but if I got them from Vision Direct I’d save a whole 2p per month. If I bought them from Tesco I’d end up paying £2 a month more. Lenstore is more expensive. Feelgood Contacts would charge me £4 a month more.
The only supplier I’ve found that would produce a significant saving (enough to equate to the add ons I get included with the Boots plan) is Daysoft but it’s not clear if they provide multifocal lenses.
If anyone can suggest an online supplier to look at I’d be grateful.
I buy mine online. I believe it to be cheaper. You find Boots competitive. I shall take a look at their prices as a result of your post.This seems a rather categorical statement:
Do you buy monthly lenses?I’ve started wearing contact lenses (after overcoming my fear of having anything in my eyes). I’ve gone for multifocal lenses.
At the moment, I’m getting my lenses from Boots via Direct Debit. I had looked into buying lenses online direct but I can’t see that I’d actually save any money and I wouldn’t get the other stuff that’s bundled in with the Boots price.
Does anyone buy theirs directly online? Do you make significant savings?
They are quite expensive, £42 for 30 pairs at Asda, I don’t know what you Pay?Dailies at the moment. Acuvue Moist Multifocal. They have a mid range addition which suits me.
I may try weeklies/monthlies further down the line.
I think I’d stick with boots as it sounds a good deal. A contact lense eye check costs me £29!£43 - and that includes the check ups and discounted glasses.
As @ianrauk said, it may be worth looking at contact lenses.co.uk as they are only £30 for 30 pairs.£43 - and that includes the check ups and discounted glasses.
Annually I think is the norm but it sounds good advise to have another check in 6 months if you have just started wearing lenses.How often do you have them? I’ve been told I should have one at least every six months.
My mistake, that’s expensive!That’s £30 per box/eye - so £60 for 30 pairs.
