Contact Lenses - Who wears them?

[kingbal]

and how much do you pay?

I had an eye test at Vision Express (mistake) and they tried to get me on their contact7 plan where I'd be paying £29/month for monthly disposable lenses. The plan includes free eye tests and replacement lenses if you lose them but it seems very expensive!

What do you guys use?

I need astigmatism lenses by the way.

Cheers

Daysoft seem to be the cheapest but they don't have lenses for astigmatism.

I tried a pair from VE for the first time yesterday and they were great, but i can't decide whether to pay the premium for lenses or just get a couple of pairs of glasses.

I'll go to Specsavers on Saturday and see what their prices are like.

Which optician are you getting a trial with?

Vision Express wouldn't let me take any lenses away without signing up to their monthly payment scheme!

Well after the awful service from Vision Express, I went to Specsavers and they were miles more professional and quite a bit cheaper.

I've got some monthly silicone hydrogel lenses on order; should have them Wednesday. I'm quite excited!

These cost £18/month for my prescription
