Buying Contact lenses online

Zapho

I remember seeing a post on this recently so sorry for bringing up an old topic...

Does anyone buy contact lenses online? If so, what website did they use and how good were the lenses? Could you recommend a site?

And how closely do you have to match the base curve and diameter of the lenses? Does it even matter?

I'm with specsavers myself and I use daily disposables. If I could shave a few quid off the cost of lenses, I'd be delighted!

Getlenses.ie - Monthly disposables I use.

You'll have to get them a copy of your prescription by fax (or a scan I think) but if your specsavers has a fax machine you can ask them to send it directly. This sorts out strength and curvature problems.

I've always found them to be quite helpful and a few quid cheaper than specsavers too. I would definately recommend them.

Sorry Karoma I didn't even there was a glasses forum.

Getlenses.ie looks good, but I've seen cheaper websites in the states.
But would using these sites mean sacrificing quality?

Remember you will get charged import duty but, they are still a lot cheaper for the same brands.
