Contact Lenses

We stock daily, monthly, toric, multifocal and coloured contact lenses from leading brands.

We stock a range of contact lenses designed for dry eyes, including silicone hydrogel lenses that help retain moisture throughout the day.

You do not need to provide us with your prescription from your optician to buy contact lenses online with us.

Vision Direct stocks contact lenses across all major replacement schedules and prescription types. Daily disposable contact lenses are discarded at the end of each day: the most convenient and hygienic option with no cleaning required. Two-weekly lenses (such as Acuvue Oasys) are replaced every 14 days and cleaned nightly. Monthly lenses including Biofinity, Air Optix plus HydraGlyde, Total30, and Bausch & Lomb ULTRA are worn daily for 30 days and cleaned each night. All three schedules are available in sphere, toric (for astigmatism), and multifocal (for presbyopia) prescriptions.

The best contact lenses for dry eyes depend on your wearing schedule and the severity of your symptoms. For daily disposable wearers, Dailies Total1 from Alcon uses Water Gradient Technology for a near-100% water content at the lens surface, making it one of the most widely recommended daily lenses for dry eyes. Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe Technology integrates with the natural tear film to manage dryness throughout the day. For monthly wearers, Total30 uses Steady State Technology to maintain a water-rich lens surface across the full 30-day period, and Bausch + Lomb ULTRA retains 95% of lens moisture for up to 16 hours. If you experience significant dryness, mention this to your optician at your fitting so they can trial the most suitable option for your eyes.

In most cases, yes. We typically offer contact lenses at significantly lower prices than high street opticians: often 30 to 45% less for the same lens brand and pack size. Because we operate online without the overhead of a physical practice, we're able to pass those savings on to you. We also offer a Price Match Promise, so if you find the same lens cheaper elsewhere, we'll match the price. Ordering in larger packs, such as 90-pack dailies or 6-pack monthlies, reduces your cost per lens further and is worth considering for lenses you wear regularly.

Contact lens prices at Vision Direct vary by lens type, brand, and replacement schedule. Daily disposable lenses start from around £9 per 30-pack for value options such as everclear AIR, while premium daily lenses such as Dailies Total1 and Acuvue Oasys 1-Day are typically priced between £22 and £35 per 30-pack. Monthly lenses range from around £15 for a 3-pack to £30 or more for premium silicone hydrogel options. Vision Direct prices are up to 45% less than high street optician prices, and ordering in larger packs reduces the cost per lens further.

The main differences are convenience, cost, and care requirements. Daily disposables are the most hygienic and convenient: a fresh pair each day, discarded in the evening, no cleaning needed. Two-weekly lenses are worn for 14 days and cleaned each night, and are cost-effective for most-days-a-week wearers. Monthly lenses are worn for 30 days with nightly cleaning, offering the lowest cost per wear for full-time wearers. Whichever schedule you choose, always follow the replacement schedule exactly, wearing lenses beyond their intended lifespan increases the risk of deposit build-up, discomfort and infection.
