    Hey guys

    Just Wondering does anybody know of any cheap sites to contact lenses delivering to Ireland?
    I've always ordered my contacts from the optician but I'm wondering if by ordering online would it work out cheaper as they can b quit expensive as I change my contacts forenightly.

    Thanks xx

    +1 for Daysoft. Using them a few years now trouble free.

    I would recommend getlenses.ie. I've been using the site for about 2 years and they have really fast shipping (about 2 days) and are much cheaper than the opticians where I used to buy my lenses in Cork city (especially cheap if you buy in bulk!).

    I have a current 10% off discount code too, if anyone wants to use it: 4284923F

    Hope this helps :-)

    I went with Daysoft on the basis of above recommendations and have had no trouble so far. 6 months supply cost me just over €75.

    Hey guys,

    Getlenses.ie is now visiondirect.ie ... The same great service but I find it a small bit more expensive than before. Still way better prices than the highstreet!

    Got my daughter contact lenses from daysoft & so far so good & a lot cheaper

    Anyone know what the Biofinity lenses are like from Daysoft? Any other site that sell them ask for the base curve, diameter, cylinder, power and axis but Daysoft don't and just say that all their lenses are multi fit.

    My prescription is specific (according to the lady in Specsavers anyway) so I don't want to mess it up. Not fond of ordering three months supply via SS as its working out around €90 for me, and I rarely wear contacts so one months supply (or a box of three) is sufficient for me.

    Thanks.

    Daysoft don't do an equivalent of the biofinity as daysoft don't do silicone hydrogen lenses.

    OK, thank you.

    Can you recommend anywhere else? Cheapest I can find it €40ish for both eyes. Is that the cheapest I'll get?

    Sorry for the silly questions, I've never bought lenses online before.

    +1 for Daysoft, tried them out for the first time toward the end of last year. for me they fitted better and are far less expensive than the Optician

    I was wondering do daysoft or getlenses/visiondirect deliver via courier or is it through the post box and no need for signing? I was wondering because I will be away from my home for a bit and will not be around to sign for lenses if that is the case

    Visiondirect delivery by fastway courier in my experience. Could you get them delivered to work maybe?

    Visiondirect are amazing I always order from them.

    Here's a working discount code for 10% off of any order - not just the first order! Used it myself yesterday

    3868575N

    Enjoy! ☺
    Bummer - 1 day too late! Though I did have a 10% discount from them for submitting a review on their site anyway. Would I have got 2 discounts, I wonder?

    They did send me a code for free delivery for orders over €29. It usually has to be €59 for delivery. PM me if this would help you.
