Cheapest Daily Contact lenses

poochiem

some very strange posts in this thread.

Been using daysoft for 6 months, best lenses I've used (had various specsavers approved lenses for 15 years and some similar ones abroad) and much cheaper, also less packaging and more easily opened.

Has anyone used eurolens.ie? Daysoft dont do toric lenses so theyre not an option for me.

Yes and I won't be using them again. Took about 4 weeks to arrive and I also got caught for customs and they told me go take a ride when I complained.

I was under the impression that I was ordering from a company in the EU, it is very unclear on the website that they are shipped from outside the EU, bit of a joke really.

I found this thread AFTER I got hit for a customs charge.
On an order costing about €220 customs added €60

made my usual order from www.daysoftcontactlenses.com this morning. Great company, they have excellent customer service and the speed of their delivery cant be beaten.

Never had a customs issue with them.

I mean do you compare a Renault for 30k against a Mercedes for 60k?

No. So why do you compare focus against daysoft?

I used to buy focus dailies until I found daysoft. I'm not the most tolerant to lenses and found focus dailies really drying and sore. I havent looked back since I turned to daysoft - have two full boxes of focus dailies at home I'm probably gonna bin cos I can't face the thought of wearing them again. From someone who has tried both brands daysoft are a million times better.

Really wish I put eurolens into the search engine now. I ordered from them on Monday, just read an email from them saying my order's been shipped but its my work address I used and they havnt put my works business name on the shipping address just mine. Ive emailed them but I dont hold much hope for them getting it changed now. Theyre €60 cheaper than specsavers and my order came to €90 so I'll prob avoid customs. All I can do now is wait.:rolleyes:

In the last few years I've had

- specsavers own brand €40pm

- Acuvue Daily Moist, almost €60pm through specsavers

- Daysoft €12pm



I had to change to Acuvue from specsavers own brand due to a lack of oxygen and had serious problems with them, the price annoyed me but they were very uncomfortable, took around 10mins for them to settle, they dried out even with eye drops, they would move out of place forcing me to take them out and use drops to put them back in


The original specsavers own brand were decent but when they changed supplier about 2 years ago that I started having problems


By a long shot the daysoft have been the most comfortable, reliable and the best fitting, have had no problems, I still use eyedrops but I do work in a dusty environment

I've had two checkups including a full thorough test and have had no problems since changing to daysoft



If someone can't see why a company with one building and one brand with minimal packaging can sell their own lenses cheap
compared to companies reselling the likes of johnson and johnson products then you need more the your eyes examined

When I ordered from Eurolens I filled in my company name. My receipt email had my address without my company name but the delivery did actually have the company name on it. When I got the receipt email I rang them about it and I couldn't get it into their heads that I just needed to know if the company name had been put on the parcel.
They said if I didn't receive it in 30 days (I think) I could start a refund process. But I received it, along with a lovely customs bill.
And because our AnPost delivery guys can only take cash and I didn't have enough he had to return it to a depot miles away for me to visit a couple of days later. So have enough cash with you for when they deliver.

So as long as you put it in the order you'll probably receive it.

My wife used Focus and bought the ones from Daysoft that they recommended on their site. She said they were a bit dry so I let Daysoft know. Not complaining to them, just said this is why we couldn't buy them anymore.
The guy said some users experience that and sent us out a box of alternatives to trial for free. She loves those. That's pretty good customer service. I know it makes business sense but it's good to see a company that actually gives a damn.

I ran out of my 4 month supply of Daysoft lens last week and ordered another 4 months immediately. I was ordering Bausch and Lomb dailies from other websites before that and actually find the Daysoft more comfortable, although the B and L were comfortable too. The main thing is the price difference, my lens are half the price from Daysoft, and it sickens me to think i didn't see them earlier, could've saved a few hundred euro easily. I don't get the people complaining in this thread. It's like when people complain about Ryanair not being a luxury airline and not offering a fancy service despite the fact that they still get you from A to B.

Not noticed this thread before; was planning on the usual six monthly stock pile from yourlenses tonight, ordered 2 months worth from daysoft instead to see what they're like. If nothing else, it's freed up some extra cash for a while.

What is the speed of their delivery btw?

For me I think it averages out around 7 to 10 days, I usually order on a weekend and they dispatch no later then the next day

One batch showed up after 4 days and another 30 days which came through the letter box fairly battered, not their fault, total one off

I think the last order took around a week, hard to remember

Completely agree. Never using them again.

The euro in their address just indicates they'll post to Europe, not that they're actually sending the lens' from Europe.
Very misleading.

The extra customs charge and the fact it took about 6 weeks to arrive really pi$sed me off coz it probably works out more expensive than buying directly from specsavers or vision express. Completely pointless exercise.

Might try daysoft the next time.

Pity the don't copy axelmusic who ship from their depot in canada to their other depot in england and then onto you. It means you don't get caught by customs because they pay for it and your order arrives in 7 days

Just got my Daysoft delivery, thats the next 6 months of contacts taken care of.
Delighted

Hey! I am currently using focus dailies toric for astigmatism. As I only have astigmatism in my left eye I have two different types of lens. When I try to order online I can't order for just one eye i.e. (the left with astigmatism) Specsavers easy vision are all the optician will prescribe me (which are terrible) unless I pay a fortune. Was just wondering if anyone had the same problem and what lens's they now use. Thanks!

Limousine Fred

Easyvision for right eye!!

Yes the Daysoft lenses are cheaper and more comfortable. I think its the soft edge design, there's far less edge feel with Daysoft: http://www.daysoftcontactlenses.com/IE/Technology.aspx
According to Daysoft their competitors don't have this: http://www.daysoftcontactlenses.com/IE/Competitor-comparison.aspx

It may have already been said earlier in the thread but be careful if you're thinking about using Eurolens.ie

Despite the domain name and free shipping they actually ship from the US so you may have have to pay VAT, customs and postage charges.

Got stung for 24 euro this morning on 90 pairs of lenses. Boo-urns.

switched to daysoft about a year ago, was using acuvue & specsavers own-brand. quality-wise they work very well for me & are the most comfortable. I use the 58% version, I ordered the 72% but reverted back as 58% were more comfortable.

Had a check-up today, my vision is exatly the same as last May.

Customs-wise, as they offer free shippings, just keep the value of your order under the customs limit = no problem, no customs charge.

they ship fast & have excellent credentials....i don't get the opinionated snobery tbh

Ms_Ali_B

What is the customs limit?

Please and thanks

I notice you can now order just 2 packs of 32 lenses from Daysoft for €12 delivered. Previously only an order of €24 and above got free delivery. Its great for anyone who wants to try them out.

Ms_Ali_B

Ordered two month's worth yesterday to give them a go. Got an email 20 mins later to say they'd been shipped. Super efficient. At only €24 it's some saving too. Really hope they work out.

Hi I have been looking over the net and some websites recommended here. I cant find any that accept laser cards. Can anyone recommend site that accept maestro?

Thanks

Ms_Ali_B

While they may not take laser I can't praise this company highly enough. Great lenses, more comfortable than the brand I used to use, Focus, and excellent service. Value is unbeatable. I've used them for a year now without looking back.

I bought proclear toric contact lenses for really cheap from smartspecs.com.au. They had a promo code "smartspecscontacts" and got an extra 10% off. And they arrived the next day. Pretty happy overall
