As a contact lens wearer myself, I’m always staggered about how many people with fairly normal prescriptions still buy their contact lenses from chain store opticians in the High Street.

If you do not have an astigmatism or anything unusual about your eyesight, it is normally much cheaper, and quicker to get them online.

There are numerous online stores where you can buy contact lenses, but a new site started by an acquaintance of mine is a good place to start: cheap contact lenses.

I’ve pay around half the price I used to now I get my lenses online now, so I’m definitely a convert!
