Contact Lens Solution

Hi

Am looking for the cheapest place (online or otherwise) to buy an all in one solution for soft contact lenses (rinse, disinfect, store etc.). Not too bothered on the brand as long as it is decent.

Any ideas? Don't mind buying in bulk (1 year supply) if it will be cheaper.

Vision Direct works for me.

Hmm, I may be moving from glasses to RGP contacts (can't use softs) so I'll be interested in this thread as well.

Can't help sorry, I've been using soft lenses which I sleep in for a few months now so no need for solution

I don't like sleeping in contact lenses as I don't believe it is particulalry good for your eyes in the long term. Surely your optition advises you to take your lenses out and clean them every few days or so?

Opti Free Express is apparently the best solution on the market.

Does for me too and if you use quidco vision direct pays something like 8% back. Used to be 20% just noticed it's gone down

I normally buy a year of solutions this way in one hit.

I wear RGP's and this is the cheapest place I've found for the 2 main solutions (conditioner and cleaner). For the saline I just go to Tesco. I wouldn't touch any of the all in one solutions for RGP's as they tend to work out more expensive and are not as effective.

I don't know how the prices here compare for soft lenses though as I don't wear them.
