    Well there's no arguing with that! :pac:

    I am paying specsavers €90 at the moment for 3 months (90 pairs), this site have the equivalent (actually 3 pairs more - 93 pairs) for €36. I'll give them a try!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    Op Thanks for that - tomorrow was going to pay my usual 90 quid to Specsavers but will order on the site you gave. Cheers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭Oracle


    Yeah go for it! You'll never look back. :D

    Ive bought monthly disposables online & it aks for strenght but also BC & DIA for shape of eye.
    These daily ones dont ask for that, is it not possible that they wont sit on your eye properly??

    What is the difference between daysoft 58 and 72?

    I'm going to try them too. There is usually only tiny differences in BC and DIA measures between different prescriptions so for that price it's worth a try.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Weaselator


    Cheers OP, will give it a whirl for one month anyhow!

    just ordered some there, was in specsavers in a rush the other day and the very unhelpfull woman refused to sell me them cause its been too long since I got a checkup and gave me a load of attitude over it, well they have lost my custom for good now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 545 ✭✭✭ninty

    Water content of lenses, should be on side of your lense box if not sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭sunnyside


    I've just ordered these. How long does delivery take? I know it says 7-10 working days but just wondering is it faster than that? Total bargain:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 545 ✭✭✭ninty


    Ordered them last Wednesday when post went up, came on monday - as good as any i've used before. Got Email that they were despatched.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭sunnyside


    Thanks, that was really fast, they are so cheap. I hope they work for
    me:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 566 ✭✭✭Mollywolly


    I've just got two months supply from this crowd too and they're brilliant as well as being cheaper. I normally use Acuvision moist and I'm finding the Daysoft ones are better as they seem to sit better on my eyes.

    Would recommend anytime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 202 ✭✭magher


    I used to use focus dailies and the used to fall out sometimes, changed to daysoft and they never fall out, very comfortable too.

    Although they are a bit harder to get out at the end of the day then focus dailies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭littlesurfer


    cheers for that, have tried to order online a few times over the last few month with loads of problems with base curves and picking a brand....Just ordered 2 months there in less than 2 minutes...best site ive seen in ages.

    Contacts are over the top expensive in this country...getting laser in the summer and specsavers wanted me to spend about ninety on a retest and refit ..thats expensive and you have to pay for the contacts on top of that!!! Refused to pay ,,...needless to say i'm glad i found that site!I'l be seeing in full again soon : )

    Thought i was doing well getting 3 boxes in
    specsavers also for 90
    I'll be sure to give specsavers a dig when I
    have my next eye test though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭mawk


    yeah they seem a good product. im wearing a set right now!

    Mine arrived earlier this morning, wearing them right now. So far I think they are actually better than the specsavers ones (especially sitting at a computer) !

    Thanks again OP, I worked it out and this is gonna save me around €200 a year!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 301 ✭✭IH77


    can anyone that has ordered tell me if you have to supply a copy of your prescription?

    thanks

    No ya don't. They take your word the prescription offset figures (e.g. -2.5, etc) are correct and the lens are designed in such a way that you don't need to supply the curvature/diameter figures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 993 ✭✭✭offaly1


    was going to get a months supply of lenses in specsavers(rearly wear contacts but always have them) Tempted to get a supply from these...but i dont' think i've a copy of my perscription...would the reading on the contact lenses box/cover suffice??

    I presume i won't need a contact lens test now if i get these:confused:

    Rayan...thanks! gonna get myself sorted now and get the lens strengths and order..and if they not right, its not too much too loose, rather than specsavers!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭Shamo


    Nice find Oracle! The focus dailys i'm currently using have 69% water content so went with the 72% daysoft ones which I'd imagine is fine.

    The last time, I ordered from yourlenses.ie and they were cheaper than specsavers (months ago) but now they're both €90 for 3 months. Unless specsavers dropped their prices?

    Either way I just got 4 months supply for €47!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 993 ✭✭✭offaly1


    just ordered a 2months supply for €23.97! hope they are good,but sure as hell beats specsavers as i hardly ever wear contact lenses, just occasions etc!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 462 ✭✭LisaO


    Many thanks for the heads up! Just ordered 4 month supply of lenses from Daysoft for half of what I last paid for 3 month supply from previous online supplier. Great stuff :D

    yourlenses.ie is quite expensive for purchasing online, they used to be a lot cheaper. I always use visiondirect.com, 3 month supply of focus dailys cost me €65 including delivery, though I might be tempted to try these next time, all the reports seem positive. Has anyone got an opticians view on the quality difference between these and some of the more expensive brands?

    can i order toric lenses on this site?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 smallthing


    Ok... I've worked in specsavers for a year and seriously this thread actually made me die a little inside. :(:(:(

    PLEASE read this!!

    Just a few words of advice:

    First of all these contacts cant be suitable for all eyes. Different brands have different Diameter and curvature (DIA and BC) and changing to a different type may cause irritation or other eye problems (So please try and stick to the type you've been prescibed!)

    Also if you have an astigmatism (which is when your eyes are slightly rugby ball shaped instead of round), unless the lenses are toric lenses with the right measurements, the lenses will most likely fall out and you're vision wont be as clear (I have an astigmatism myself n bought lenses abroad a few years ago, fell out after a couple of hours because they weren't toric ones....) so if you're buying online you need to have those extra measurement, as prescribed by your optician.

    The check ups every year are to ensure that an infection doesn't develop in your eye. Eye infections can develop without any signs and left undetected can cause major damage to your eye. And wearing contacts makes you much more prone to eye infections, hence the need for annual checks.
    And for that person who had a bad experience while trying to get contact lenses because their check was out of date, i apologise! I get people arguing with me several times a day over this same issue, and people can be quite abusive sometimes! But as long as the customer books an appointment I'm always more than happy to sell the customer a supply to keep them going.

    Contacts are essentially a foreign object being put into your body, and so just like going to the doctor to get drugs they have to be prescribed to you by a qualified optician in order to ensure they are right for you as an individual.

    There is however no problem in acquiring contact lenses online, and i agree they are way too expensive in this country. (I hate having to pay so much just to be able to see!!!) If you are already wearing lenses you've bought online, bring along the packages to your next check and providing they are suitable for you the optician should be more than happy to prescribe them to you from now on and you can carry on buying them online. If you want to start buying your lenses online, the optician should be able to give you a copy of you prescription if you ask, which will provide the information you need to buy lenses online. Any opticain should be able to give you a copy of your prescription as this is the service you have paid for.

    In summary, get annual check ups and stick to the brand you've been prescribed! (Whether you buy them online or in an optician!) And everything will be hunky dory!!

    Thanks for reading!! :D

    Thanks for reading!! :D

    Surely the opticians don't like us buying the lenses online though. They must be loosing a lot of money over it. Obviously if they sold them for the same prices as the online retailers they'd get the customers back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭sullivk


    Great offer OP, thanks! Just ordered my self 2 months supply for €24, one months supply in specsavers usually sets me back €35. Great savings! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,254 ✭✭✭Esse85


    Does anyone buy monthlies from this site?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    I take it you need to go to an optician before switching from glasses to contacts. I was thinking of buying a box to try them out, might just wait if you need to have a brand to switch from.

    I don't think they sell monthly lenses, hence the name - daysoftlenses

    It's always good to get a contact lens assessment before starting to wear contacts to see are your eyes suitable and in good health, etc

    That can happen with any contact lens. There are comfort eye drops specifically for contact lens wearers: http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/search_results.php?q=contact+lens+eye+drops&type=Normal&sort_price=pa&view=Grid&brand=&pr_range=&gen=25&pre=0&pet=0
