Frequently Asked Questions

Are these lenses the same as my optometrist sells me?

Absolutely identical!

What happens if I have a faulty lens?

Let us know and we refund you the value of that lens. You don't even need to return it to us!

Why are your prices cheaper?

We buy in bulk from wholesalers which gives us a more favourable buying price. Also by specialising in contact lenses we can reduce our margins by being more efficient.

Do they have the same warranty as when I get them form my optometrist?

It's better! You have a 100% satisfaction warranty for 60 days on our lenses. Even once you've opened the boxes and tried the lenses.

I feel disloyal to my optometrist if I buy my lenses from you.

We understand. They're usually quite used to people buying optical products elsewhere these days. Just assure him/her you still follow their advice and that price means a lot to you. You could also quote convenience.

I feel embarassed asking my optometrist for a copy of my prescription as he/she will know I'm getting my lenses from elsewhere.

The easiest way is to ring them and request they fax or email your prescription so you don't have to physically pick it up. They are legally obliged to provide it to you. Any future eye tests, get a copy at the time.

I don't currently wear contacts but would like to. What do I do?

Visit your optometrist for a contact lens fitting. Once you have been fitted for contact lenses, have your prescription faxed to us here at 0800 145 136 and you are ready to purchase from us.

Is a contact lens prescription the same as my prescription for glasses?

Contact lens and glasses prescriptions are different. If you have a prescription for glasses but want contact lenses, visit your optometrist for a contact lens fitting.

Do I still need regular check-ups if I order my lenses from you?

Contact lens wear can cause changes to cells and tissues of the eye, and sometimes wearing contact lenses can damage the cornea. Even if you are not experiencing any problems, the lenses may be causing damage to your eyes. Your optometrist will also ensure your prescription is giving you the best visual performance possible. Regular check-ups will reduce the likelihood of damage going undetected.
