Choosing your lenses is quick and easy. The fastest method to order your new contact lenses is when you already know the brand you want. With a brand in mind type your choice into the search bar found at the top of every page.
Alternatively, explore our range by clicking 'Contact Lenses' in the menu at the top left of every page. You can filter lenses alphabetically, by popularity and price. On the left-hand side of the page you can also choose to browse by brand or select the type of lenses you'd like, whether it's daily, monthly or extended wear lenses.
If you are considering a different lens to your prescription we recommend seeking the advice of your optician. Your optician will save you time and discomfort by helping you choose the ideal lens for your eyes the first time.
And, if you previously purchased lenses from the optician, (welcome aboard), check out our Boots' equivalent lenses and Specsavers' easyvision equivalent lenses tables. There you'll find the same lenses you're used to, the only difference is we buy the lenses direct from the manufacturer. They have different names and box designs but don't worry the lens specifications are the same and the prices are often much cheaper. Find your lens and see how much you can save today.
When viewing a product, to purchase you first need to fill in your prescription details. It's a pain-free process. Enter your details in the prescription form on the right-hand side of the page. If you don't have access to the results of your eye test you can still buy contact lenses without your paper prescription.
You can find your lens specifications on the side of your current contact lens box. All the essential information is printed on the side or back of every box.
If you have different prescriptions for each eye always check the details for both your right and left eye. Remember to only use details that you have been prescribed in the last 2 years to ensure that your new lenses are comfortable and that they correct your vision accurately.
