Contact lenses online
I have searched the forum but would like some up to date info from any of you who have ordered lenses online.
I found 2 sites: https://www.clearlycontacts.co.nz/ here in NZ
and: http://www.postoptics.co.uk/ in the UK
Has anybody ordered off either of these sites (or others) that they can recommend?

Re: Contact lenses online
I used to buy through clearly contacts - good service etc but they are essentially a US site and I had lots of problems with them stating NZ dollars but then not doing the conversions and then getting charged different prices - got the amounts refunded but they couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen every time
I now order through pharmacydirect - no probs at all and they do solutions.

Michelle, I've ordered from http://www.infarvision.co.nz/faq.html, they only sell Acuvue however, but they are pretty damned cheap!!! No problems with them

Some places, such as the high street stores, were quoting me $70 and $80 a box for my lenses, where I got them at $30 a box through these guys!!

Re: Contact lenses online
I used these guys in the US and had no problems. My lenses here are $350 but got them from these guys for half the price.

The payment page on their website doesnt work, and they have not yet responded to email or phone.

Re: Contact lenses online
these are not the ramblings of someone with a huge vested ineterst because in this country due to their severely antiquated regualtions iam not allowed to practise as a contact lens optician even though I have been qualified to do so in uk for 29 years.
So if u wish to purchase lenses from out of date prescriptions remember 2 things, your eyesight is at much higher risk and secondly with the recent product developments you will not be wearing the best products. But hey what are eyes, they don't matter, we only have one pair and when things go wrong, we expect our eye care professional, who we kick in the teeth by not supporting them to perform miracles.
The truth over here is that the care and general lack of information patients have or are given is actually much lower than the in the U.K. so make your own minds up you are adults but don't start bleating to your optometrist when things go wrong because of your own negligence.
I have been a member of the british contact lens association for the last 10 years. This is widely regarded as the foremost contact lens association i nthe world. I have also performed pre launch trials for contact lens companies some of which were acuvue products.
I take eye care seriously
