A Specsavers price hike sees me paying £36 for monthly receipt of Daily lenses through the post, any recommendations for something of better value? It of course includes a yearly checkup.
Thanks
Daysoft have been fine for me for the last 10 years.
Alensa and Mister Spex
I've used Lenstore because they had the same extra comfortable (extra expensive) lenses that I was getting from Specsavers.
I use lenstore, but careful to use the European version of the site who don't insist of copies of your 'script every time.
I’ve used Feel Good Contacts for many years. Very happy with them and the prices.
Been using Vision Direct for a few years now, been excellent
Thanks all. Mostly half price, although of course they are insisting I get the eye check "thrown in", whereas the reality is that its costing me £180.
Daysoft have worked fine for me - I only tend to wear for say 4-5 hours max; put in, go for a ride, come back, take them out again, but perfectly good for that. My 'real' lenses are Acuvue Moist at about 3x the price, despite being on a £12/mo scheme which gets me a discount and does include the yearly CL and eye health check including all the examinations inside the eye, etc.
But at my recent appt the Optometrist was very anti- the Daysoft lens. She said she has no info on the formula - they are secretive apparently - that it looked weird on the eyeball (I am astigmatic but don't wear special lenses - cost vs good enough) and had a strange 'skirt' that the eyelid had to climb over. Upshot, she would not sign off on me wearing them, and only would approve wearing with the Moists that she prescribed.
Seems odd that I can't make that decision for myself, if aware of the risk - which doesn't seem to have harmed the eye at all - but in order to buy I'm supposed to tick a box saying that I have been regularly checked and to say that in the light of her refusal to 'sign off' on them, what offence am i actually commiting? I know there are some opticians/optometrists on here, what's the roolz?
bumping, hoping for an answer
+ another for Daysoft.
@theotherjonv just tick the boxes, it's an arse covering exercise for the supplier.
In retrospect I'm guilty of seeing what I wanted to believe, thinking the other sites were half price but forgetting I need two boxes therefore need to double the prices.
My equivalent would be Accuvue moist which works out £1 a month less than I'm paying but without the eye test service. I could go for Daysoft but given the above and some of the comment in the negative reviews, plus the fact I'm a 5am-11pm lense wearer means I dont want to risk a potential low quality lense.
