had an eye test last week for contact lenses. they recommended a weekly lense, as opposed to daily or monthly. so basically i sign up for 4 lenses a month, £30. i can find no reference online to anything other than daily, bi-weekly or monthly. so, are they trying to sell me twice as many bi-weekly lenses as I need?

Ask them why weekly not daily, if they say price tell 'em where to go. I've been getting my dailies from daysoftlenses for 3 years now, works out at about £10 pm.

DO you have astigmatism? This can limit the number of available lenses as the the range of correction for daily Torics is much smaller than monthly/fortnightly lenses.
