Hi, current use Specsavers for Contact lenses. Happy with them but curious if there are recommended alternatives for a lower $.

Tried looking on AliExpress but cant find + plus lenses for farsighted or in my case presbyopia

Moved to appropriate sub-forum.

I recently switched to Specsavers because they were best value. I've checked a few times and they're always best

I've tried 3 others and not found them as comfortable as spessvers. I use Easyvision Sential and they're easy to put in, don't fold .. much and comfortable for 12+ hrs

I've bought from Clearly in the past, and more recently from www.lensesonline.co.nz

I used to use lenses online, but their lenses sometimes had a relatively close expiry date, which doesn't work for me. I'm currently using Visique, they drop ship directly from their supplier so the lenses are usually quite fresh with a decent expiry date, and prices are good too.

been using https://www.lensesonline.co.nz/ for years.
Have never noticed any issue with pending expiry dates - but I guess this depends on the brand being purchased??
I'm usually buying Air Optix Plus Hydraglydes

I get Total1 dailies these days. Because my eyes prescription fluctuates sometimes I buy a box, use one lens, then don't use it for a year or more.
