My disposiables used to cost me £1 per pair direct from my opticitions(spelling).
But i went online, al try and find you the site, got them MUCH cheaper.

Cant remember the site, got focus dailies, for a bad prescription (-6.00) for around £12.
Al find out from my old man what site he used.
What i did, was go to the optitions, tell them to reccomend you a brand that would suit you're eyes, buy one pack from them (which youve already done).
If you get on fine, use the site which i will post soon, and get them for a third of the price you were orginally paying.

Going by quotes from the other thread, I'd agree, that does look like your paying a lot more than you should be.

The ones the optitons gave me were johnson & johnson astigmatism (£45)i have found these on the net for £30
but, others start off at £10, is it just because they are a well known make, they are more expensive?

thanks for the link, maybe someone can explain this though

all the ones on the site are
Radius/Diameter: 8.6/13.8

but mine are 8.5/14.5

also i have 2 figures on each of mine

left -1.25 -1.75

right -3.00 -0.75



where as theoptions on the link only allow you to pick 1 number

I think I pay about £15-18 from Specsavers.

But my prescription is tiny (-1.00, -0.75)
