Default Contact Lenses in Australia

Hi,

I have the monthly disposable soft contact lenses with the solution in the UK, I just wondered if someone could tell me how much they are in Australia?

Thanks very much.

Rachel

I just paid A$120 for 90 pairs (3 months supply) of Ciba Vision Focus DAILIES with AquaRelease

We did look into getting the Focus Monthly, which would have been $60 for 6 months (6 pairs), but take out each night and clean.

The Focus Night and Day were $138 for 6 months (6 pairs), but for a 12 year old , the optician said it may be best to stay on the DAILIES.

Sorry, edited once I went to check. Apparently it is a box of 90 lenses (so 45 days supply) for A$75, through NetOptical.

You had me worried, I thought I had shopped around sufficiently to get the best deal going

I just noticed, my optician showed me the netoptical site when I saw him the other week.

Their price for my brand would be $130, still very good in comparison to many.
