Specsavers Contact Lens Packages

    Wondering if anybody knows the difference between the 4 lens packages that Specsavers offer for their monthly and daily lenses. They have, in order of cheapest to expensive- Standard, Premium, Elite, and Ultimate.

    I don't mean the difference in prices, I mean how are they any different quality wise, or is it a just a case of how many hours per day you can wear them for?

    After just checking my prescription, i've been on Elite for about a year and noticed that Standard is almost 50% cheaper than what i'm paying now.

    Of course I know I can ask in-store, but I would almost be expecting to be told any story to keep me on the higher priced prescription.

    .

    It's mostly a difference in quality and material. The Elite and Ultimate are silicone hydrogel lenses or ones with extra moisture to keep them comfortable for longer and also allow you to wear them for anything up to 12-14 hours without doing any damage to the health of your eyes.
    TBH the standard are sh1te. If you were to change from the Elite to the Standard you would probably find them uncomfortable
