Why is buying contact lenses from the optician more hassle?
Buying contact lenses from the optician is often more expensive and complicated than buying online. This is due to optician direct debits schemes. They work like rolling monthly phone contracts, where you pay a fee for your supply of contact lenses. However, direct debit schemes aren't always good value for money and can limit the freedom of lens wearers, because:
- New customers sign up for a minimum of 3 months
- Some direct debit schemes last 2 years
- No flexibility, you receive the same lenses every month
- If you want to switch lenses you need to visit your optician
Buying from Vision Direct gives you total freedom to buy what you want when you want. We have no minimum order value, we're open Monday to Friday 8:00 - 21:00, and Saturday to Sunday 9:00 - 17:30 and we'll deliver to your home the next day as standard when we have your product in stock. We understand direct debits can be convenient, they reduce the need to worry about ordering new lenses. That's why we created our SMS/email reminder service, which allows customers to set an automatic reminder for the date they'd like to reorder lenses. This way you'll never forget to reorder again.
Unlike at the optician when you buy online there's no appointments or queues. We have the UK's largest selection of the best contact lenses online at prices up to 45% cheaper than opticians, plus our eye care professionals' impartial and unbiased advice helps you easily find the lenses which suit you.
