Tomm Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I need some more contact lenses. I know my prescription (-1.75L, -1.25R, TF fact fans ), and I don't want any long term contract or anything. Can I just buy some contacts online and get them delivered, no questions asked? I just need the lenses, no solution. Monthly disposables.

JT! Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Wow. I'm paying £15 a month for mine. However i've got a shit load of fluid spare as i don't use my lens evey day. I should by 6th months and quit my current plan. Do you think the fulid i have will do for all those on that site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Most places require either a fax or photograph of your current prescription thats been signed by an authorised contact lens practitioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 i use them and i have them sent every few months, saves hassle, ask at Spec savers or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 i use them and i have them sent every few months, saves hassle, ask at Spec savers or somewhere. Yeh same i think its specsavers they send me a box with about 3 months worth in, always have spare even though i use them pretty much every day. Save hassle but might be more expensive.

Max Quinn Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm also interested in this I have fairly high prescription glasses but never wear them cos i can't be bothered. It would be quite useful to have contacts for work etc though. Putting something in your eye seems pretty wierd/scary to me though :$ On that site linked above say, which ones would be the best to go for? Bearing in mind i have no experience on the matter. Are the monthly ones best? Is it worth going for expensive ones, is there a massive difference? I thought expensive cos it's not really something to f**k about with but the cheap ones may be just as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 The majority of lenses are made in the same factories, for instance the specsavers brand ones are really made by a company called laum and bausch or bausch and laum or something like that, who make more expensive ones. By far the most comfortable ones I've used are the 30 day continuous wear ones, you just stick them in and leave them for a month and its like having fixed eyes. You definately have to keep track of how long they've been in though. I always forget and end up having a single pair in constantly for upwards of 5 weeks at a time.

Putting something in your eye seems pretty wierd/scary to me though :$ You'd get used to it quickly The worst things about contacts are: If you suffer too hard a knock from certain angles, they can come out, and if you manage to get dust or sand between the lens and your eye.

My dad uses permanent ones. He always takes them out, but says that you could sleep in them if you wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, i sleep in them. They're made of a softer material so they're more comfortable than dailies anway, and you just whack them in and forgot about them until the end of the month. Work out at £15 a pair from specsavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I've got monthly ones, when ever i sleep in them my eyes become dry and my vision is blurry, though odd times i'm fine. Most problem i have with contacts is them popping out whilst you're out. It's fricking annoying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT :::: http://getlenses.com/ Thats where I get them from, never had any problems, free delivery, good prices etc... That site seems good but they need a copy of your prescription, done within the last year... I haven't been to the optician in several years. But I found another site (www.contactlenses.co.uk) which don't seem so strict so I've ordered from there. They do seem very cheap Cheers.

Tomm Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just a bump for the person who was talking about contact lenses in another thread - I got the lenses from that place ^^^ and they came within two days, I was very impressed! I got 6 months' worth of monthlies for £28, bargain! They seem fine and comfortable, I'm well pleased with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
