i know my prescription and the brand i usually wear,so can i buy direct instead of via optician, as i did my last pair of specs? if so, where is good?

well google is my friend [url] http://www.visiondirect.co.uk [/url] has what i need for about £25 less than my usual source, anyone used this site though?

I looked at buying daily disposables from the internet. All they wanted was an current eye test/prescription from an optician before they would sell on line. Think it was vision direct.

You'd be paying for your eye tests every six months / year / two years depending how often you have a check up

I use vision direct, have done for about 2 years now, they are a shed load cheaper - like half price compared to the optician. I just pay for my contact lense checkups myself, it still works out cheaper because I dont go as often as the optician wants me too!

Possibly not the most sensible option, but I recon as long as your careful with how long you wear lenses for and give your eyes enough rest Im not too worried.

I use Asda online contact lenses, but they do check by phoning the optician you use and checking you have had a contact lens check within 12 months. Its the law so they say.
