Cheapest Daily Contact lenses

Glowing

I presume this is the best place to put this.

I've been trawling the web for cheap contact lenses and www.yourlenses.ie are the cheapest guys I've found in all my years of contact lens wearing.

If you order the 90 pack box of Focus Daily Disposables, it'll only cost you 34.49
http://yourlenses.ie/produkt.php?id=12&scid_ie=b364cd98e260ea35c85eb6b38dbd3828

Add a second box plus 5 euro shipping and it comes to 73.98 for 3 months supply, a fair bit cheaper than the 90 euro from specsavers etc.

Obviously, if you've found them cheaper, let us know!

I've used them as well. Prompt delivery.

Used them for monthlies before, found them vey good.

Moonbeam

http://www.1800contacts.com/ are really cheap and have heard good reports.

Tusky

question in regards to contacts : Do you have to wear glasses for a certain ammount of time before getting contacts or can you get your eyes tested and go straight to wearing contacts?

c - 13

You can go straight to contacks AFAIK but you still need a pair of glasses on standby in case of lost lenses/headaches/after eye tests (they put pigment in your eyes and cant put lenses back in for an hour or so). Just keep in mind contacts dont suit all people. You'd be best off talking to your optician TBH.

I.S.T.

If you switch to the UK version of the site the same lenses are £28.55 which works out at about €43!

I find this crowd the cheapest for me:

www.visiondirect.com

I use toric in one eye which makes the ones mentioned above very expensive but this crowd are great and even with delivery works out about €40 cheaper than specsavers for only a 3 month supply

i also use vision , got 6mths of contacts which unforuntley i can no longer use as my sight has got worse. wondering if anyone would like to buy contacts from me. i have 5mths left of -1.75 O2 optix (ciba vision) breathable contacts. cost €40.00? :eek:

Sully

VHI seem to offer cheap lenses, I dont have the web address handy but Google it and you will see.

ongarite

Do you need to fax in your prescription to buy the lenses from yourlenses.ie or do they assume you that you wear contacts already and just ordering replacements?

CantGetNoSleep

no you just choose the ones you need on the site

davmi

for just focus daily disposables yourlenses.ie seems to be cheapest as first comment says? the best american price i found for 3 month supply was $100. anyone found anywhere cheaper than the 73euro? if i go back to optician id havta get another exam as its over 6 months since got lenses from them so wer talkin 120/130 if i go there! plus my the visionexpress i go to only do contacts on weekdays so time off work!

janney5

I have used Vision Direct numerous times and never had a problem. Every time I place an order they always work out the cheapest. For example, my last 6month supply of Focus Dailies worked out as €106 ($150) inc delivery, compared to €150 with getlenses. Delivery time was 2 weeks, but dont forget to use the promotion code 'VISIONOFF' for 10% off!

Keano

Fortunately I dont have to wear glasses or lenses but I do order them from yourlenses.ie for my better half. Their service and price is excellent.

davmi

thanks for that, had a look at visiondirect the basic price in dollars is about the same as in euros on yourlenses, which is roughly 35 per box, so visiondirect is cheaper depending on shipping. what does this usually come to?

ianblyth

I get my Six months supply of monthly wear Ciba Vision Night And Day (30 day continuous wear) from www.lens.com total cost... $115 including post. got caught by customs for a further 20 euro... total about 99 Euro...

3 months.. Spec Savers.... 90 euro
6 months www.lens.com 99 euro... and if you don't get picked on by customs 79 euro... It's worth it either way...

Need to give about max 4 weeks for delivery...

alittleannoyed

Just spent a few minutes on line buying contact lenese. It turns out Rip off Ireland is still alive and kicking.
www.yourlenses.ie claims "Price is important. We know that, and so do our customers. We therefore guarantee to supply the highest quality contact lenses at the lowest price on the market!"
And they do.....

Price for 90 x Focus Dailies = €90
(price includes delivery and VAT @ 21.5%

Funningly enough, this price is indeed the exact same as the identical lenses with the cheapest alternative, specsavers. Now here is what is surprising. On the same site, from the same company the prices are as follows:
Price in Sweden (YourLenses is based there) = €69
Price in Britian = €64
Price in Germany = €79
Price in Holland = €82
and so on and on and on.
Every single country is cheaper by at least a tenner!!! And all from the same site and the same company.
Explanation required!!
Thanks

I ordered from these as well! ( not for me)
Just bought 2 months supply for.........€23.96 including delivery
Ordered last Thursday night. received yesterday morning.

Previous thread on Daysoft lenses, still €12 for 1 months supply (64 lenses): http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055538872

I always get my lenses from www.contactlensking.com

I got 2 years worth of PureVision Toric contact lenses from them for $300.55 (I got them sent to my hotel when I was holidaying in the USA).

They ship to Ireland for something like $25, which IMO is still good value in comparison to rip-off prices charged over here for the same contact lens.

The funny thing is, my lenses are actually manufactured in Bausch & Lomb in Waterford. Yet it is still cheaper for me to buy them from the US (where they've been shipped from Waterford to US and then back to me in Ireland) than from some EU based website!!

Yeah just got 4 months off them for €47.
They delivered really, really quick. Also when I emailed them a question I heard back within the hour. Definitely recommend them!

Johnny_Fontane

surprise someone hasn't mentioned http://www.coastalcontacts.com

Their prices are pretty unbeatable. no prescription needed - delivery always very swift, rarely get hit with customs.

davehey79

Thats if you buy 2 months worth. Anyone actually buying just the months supply it's
1 month supply of 2 boxes of 32 lenses at €7.99/box €15.98. Which is still great value in fairness. Order for myself and have converted a few friends to using them now too. A +1 for their customer service they're very swift at emailing and replying to queries.

+1 for Daysoft. Have been using them for a while and have saved a fortune. They are as good, if not better, than my normal branded ones (Acuvue Moist).

Highly recommend them!

Slightly off topic but those Acuvue Moist lenses are actually made in Limerick
...and in these recessionary times etc etc...

daysoft is kick ass, better than accuvue in my opinion! slept with them in the other week and didnt even know i had done so!!!

alittleannoyed

great advice. Think I will give them a whirl next time around.
It's about time the thieves operating in this country felt some pain.
March down O'Connell St anyone? Revolution of the Contact Lense Wearers Front.

Another vote for the daysoft lenses. Although I do admit that that I found the O2 Optix slightly better but not sufficiently better to warrant the price difference. I find dust gets in the daysoft lenses more easily so if you work on a building site they mightn't be great.

Most of the contact lenses are made in Ireland, I don't understand why they can be delivered to Ireland from a US website cheaper than what it costs to buy them from an optician here. Same reason Guinness costs more in Ireland than anywhere else I suppose.

Daysoft doesn't come from the US by the way, it's from Jersey.

Yeah, I know, only 20 minutes away from me in fact. But like you say in these recessionary times and when you're not working, every penny counts.....

+1 for daysoft used to wear monthlies but couldn't wear them in front of the computer got some focus dailies but started getting sore at about 6pm
got daysoft wear all day and evening with very little trouble very impressed dont kn ow what to do with half a box of focus dailies now !

I got an offer in the post from Get Lenses (www.getlenses.com) for 25% off all contact lenses until 31st July 2009. This makes 90 pairs of Focus Dalies €67.50 (from €90) including postage.

The promotional code is: ELP009

adios specsavers

got mine from daysoft today
2 month supply
64 pairs altogether rather than 58
Transaction for the value of: EUR23.96
Description: 2 month supply of daysoft 58 contact lenses (right eye

Esse85

Any updates?

mailburner

i find them even better than the specsaver ones
they appear to be slightly thicker also
its easier to open and take the lense out of
the specsaver ones tho but i can live with that

adamski8

i cant believe you found the specsaver ones easier to take out, i find daysoft really easy. I cant believe people actually wear those specsavers ones, so irritating

mailburner

i meant to say its harder to take the seal off the lenses container

I've posted these guys before in a similar thread and have been using them for years for the OH.

Aclens

box of 90 Focus Dailys for $30.

Free delivery for orders over $99. I usually get 6 months supply comes to about $120 - $130 dollars (4 boxes of 90).

Dubh Geannain

Should have added. That's €85 at todays rate for 6 months supply.

Once I didn't receive the delivery, I complained and another batch arrived a week later. That was definately a once off I'd say cos the other dozen or so times I've used them I've had no problems whatsoever.

Hi there do try this site out I've had a good scout around the net myself and this one looks excellent. (Daysoftcontactlenses.com)
i believe they are based in Jersey in the channel Islands and postage is FREE .

I just bought one month supply of their daily disposables and it cost a grand total of €11.98. I think you will be hard pressed to find cheaper than that.
Their lenses seem to be quite a reputable brand.

They have a very helpfull comparison guide on the site. You just choose the lenses you currently wear from a fairly comprehensive list and they will find you a match from their own company.

Hope this Helps!:)

You obviously didnt read the previous 3 pages of posts:eek:

Rip off, i use www.aclens.com and a years supply of lenses for me is 90 euro.That site is far from a bargain.
