Where to buy contact lenses online
I would like to start buying my contact lenses online now I have an up to date Aussie prescription. Google search throws up heaps and I'd really appreciate feedback / recommendations on which sites people have found to be most reliable. Thanks v much

I used Clearly Contacts for Bausch & Lomb Purevision Toric Monthly day & Night but since changing to Cooper Vision lenses I find Net Optical on the Sunshine Coast cheaper.

http://www.netoptical.com.au AUD payment
or
http://www.aalens.com USD payment
Both very good, pricing varied for me depending on FX rate.
I have some excess Focus Dailies, 90 of each (+6.0) and (+3.5) not sure what to do with them, as my daughter has stopped wearing them.

Thanks to everyone for the responses, karma duly sent and I'll be buying my new lenses tomorrow

Back in August 2009 I did this comparison
Ciba Vision Focus Dailies 90 pack
Priced for 2 boxes to last 3 months for both eyes
$288.00 Shopping centre Optician
$176.10 The online option of a Shopping centre Optician
$130.00 Australian Online Contact lenses supplier (including delivery)

Re: Where to buy contact lenses online
Our Optician didn't believe us we could get them half his price online so he contacted Clearly Contacts realised the price was true and tried to buy them himself as cheaper than the price he paid wholesale only to be told we only sell to the public so go away.

Re: Where to buy contact lenses online
Update: ordered from www.netoptcial.com.au on Monday morning and they arrived this morning (Thursday). Communication great. They were the cheapest option from those recommended below for monthly wear Air Optix Aqua x 3 months ($59.90 plus P&P). Also got a great value solutions pack.
For those who follow - I heartily recommend www.netoptical.com.au!
Thanks again to all for the answers to my original post.

Re: Where to buy contact lenses online
I need to order some disposable contact lenses in a hurry as I've just realised I've run out. I don't have a current contact lense prescription (every website I've checked states that you must have a test that is less than a year old). Can anyone recommend a reliable site that ships to the UK and one where you don't need to put in your optician's details?...
