For the past 8 years or so now I've been using daysoft for dailies. Had monthlies before but kept having reactions to the different solutions after a while.

All they need is the power and they've never felt uncomfortable.

:edit: Forgotten to mention that it works out at £14 a month delivered. Oh, and I've got no link to the above company!

Use google. Find the cheapest. Use that one.

HTH :-)

I usually flip flop between - Lenstore.co.uk and eopiticians.co.uk they generally have the best offers.

I buy solution and my one-off packs of dailies every so often from VisonDirect.

Holly fk that's expensive.

I pay £18 per month on DD and get my lenses, cases, solutions, as many appointments on top of my annual checkup as I want and any trials of alternative lenses as I want.

All with my local optician. Price has never changed in 10 years either.

I pay £77 for 3 months supply of Focus Dailies All Day Comfort inc VAT and next day delivery.

They have cheaper lenses, but I find the Focus Dailies far superior and more comfortable.

I've just used www.alensa.co.uk for some dailies as they came out cheapest.

I use Daysoft daily lenses also - £14 for a months supply.

They dispatch them quick and have good customer service if you have any issues

Lenstore.co.uk (redirects to .eu when making a purchase).

Yep.

Works out about £1 per day. The offer every few months (4 months for the price of 3) is useful.

I can’t get my lenses online for less as they are toric.

I pay similar per month with Boots for my 30 day disposables. Unlimited appointments, free eye tests, and 10% off in Boots stores (the wife likes that bit!).

I use https://www.pureoptical.co.uk/ Acuvue oasys with hydrolux about £18 per month each eye. They have a loyalty points system too.

Partly down to them being Toric I suspect.
Us astigmatism sufferers always have to pay a premium for our 'luxury' short-sightedness.

Lenstore is cheaper though AFAIK, I pay about £35 a month, I tend to wear mine for a couple of days at a time - I have the extended wear type that allow more o2 through to the eye - and I tend to stick to glasses when it's not bright/sunny so I find I get about three months use out of a month's supply, which makes them quite cheap. Still on the fence about getting laser treatment. I notice on the days when I fall asleep in lenses and wake up able to see from the moment I open my eyes, I find it much easier to get out of bed and be productive than when I wake up half-blind.
