I’m looking for a online site where I can buy contact lens on a direct debit or recurring scheme, I’ve been using vision express for the last 5 years or so but they’ve made so many mistakes I am sick of using them.

I’ve just had a new prescription from John Lewis for contact lenses, but their scheme is over priced compared to online prices

I am looking for actiview moist 1 days for astigmatism, I’ve found them online for about £16 a box which seems about right but can any one recommend a good site or scheme to use?

FYI I’ve used boots and spec savers in the past but I’m now getting glasses from John Lewis and the lenses online

I've used both of these sites & had no issues:

https://www.lenstore.co.uk/acuvue/daily-disposable...
https://www.contactlenses.co.uk/contact-lenses/1-d...

Check if you get free delivery over a certain order value.

I use daysoft. Found a advert on the tube a year ago and all good.

I use these, but have recently switched to acuvue moist, which are still old tech compared to the latest material. Cost £28 a month instead of £14, but I've found that they keep my eyes from going red / dry after 12 hours of looking at monitor in the office.

Daysoft are great value, but they are using ancient materials so tend to go dryer quicker and let less oxygen through so cause redness.

I used to wear Acuvue Moist but switched to Everclear ADM from Vison Direct about a year ago with absolutely no problems. They're about half the price and even do a free trial. You also get a liitle bag of Haribo with every delivery thumbup

I tried Daysoft but they made my eyes really sore.

I use daily disposables and am on the DD scheme with Boots.

I will check the brand when I get home.

I think it’s about £28 a month and they come though my letterbox every 3 months.

I get eye tests and contact lens tests included on my scheme and I also get 50% of all glasses which is really good.

I just bought a new pair of glasses: RayBan frames and the top of the range Zeiss super thin and coated lenses. Should have been £440 but was £220 due to me being on the scheme.

Been with them for 20 years and they’ve made the odd mistake in that time but stayed with them because generally their service and pricing has been better than others.

(It’s horrible to think that I’ve spent nearly £7k on disposable contact lenses...)
