Worked example: a year in both eyes

Daily lenses mean a fresh pair every day, so two lenses a day. A 90-pack lasts 90 days for one eye, but only 45 days for both. Eight 90-packs give you 720 lenses, or 360 days. Here's what that costs.

Seller and pack	The sum	A year (720 lenses)
Lenstore with Auto Reorder	8 × £47.36	£378.88
Feel Good Contacts	8 × £49.80	£398.40
Lenstore	8 × £49.85	£398.80
Vision Direct	8 × £49.99	£399.92
eOpticians	8 × £57.90	£463.20
Contactlenses.co.uk, 30 packs	24 × £24.99	£599.76

Buying through Lenstore's Auto Reorder rather than eOpticians saves £84.32 a year on the same lens. Buying 30-packs instead of 90-packs nearly always costs more: at Vision Direct, 24 30-packs would be 24 × £17.49 = £419.76, against £399.92 for eight 90-packs.

Feel Good Contacts

Feel Good Contacts had the cheapest 90-pack price at £49.80. Delivery is free on orders over £89, and next day if you order by 11:59pm. It also sells glasses and sunglasses, with 2 for 1 from £35, if you need a pair of glasses for the days you don't wear lenses.

Lenstore

Lenstore's 90-pack is £49.85, or £47.36 with Auto Reorder, the cheapest price we found. Auto Reorder sends lenses on a schedule, so you don't run out, but remember to change or pause it if your prescription or routine changes. Delivery is free over £59, and next day if you order before 11pm. Its 30-pack is £17.49, or £16.62 with Auto Reorder.

Vision Direct

Vision Direct is £49.99 for the 90-pack and £17.49 for the 30-pack. Delivery is free on orders of £59 or more, and £3.98 below that, so a single 30-pack costs £21.47 delivered. It has a Price Match Promise that matches the total price, including delivery, on the same product from a UK competitor, and a 365-day guarantee on unopened boxes if your prescription changes.

eOpticians and Contactlenses.co.uk

eOpticians charged £57.90 for the 90-pack, with £5.95 Royal Mail delivery unless you spend over £79. Contactlenses.co.uk had the 30-pack at £24.99 with free delivery over £40, which made it the dearest per lens for this brand. Its own-brand daily is far cheaper, as above.

Where the others have the edge

• Lenstore is cheapest if you're happy with automatic repeat orders.
• Feel Good Contacts has the lowest 90-pack price without a repeat order, and its next-day cut-off is the latest, at 11:59pm.
• Vision Direct will match a cheaper UK price, including delivery, so it's worth asking.
• Contactlenses.co.uk has the cheapest daily lens overall, if your optician agrees its own brand suits you.
• Your optician can check the fit and health of your eyes, which an online shop can't. Keep up with your check-ups whichever shop you use.

Our verdict

For 1 Day Acuvue Moist, Lenstore with Auto Reorder was the cheapest at £378.88 for a year, and Feel Good Contacts the cheapest without a repeat order at £398.40. Avoid 30-packs if you wear lenses every day, and check delivery thresholds: eight 90-packs bought two at a time get you over the free-delivery limit at all three of the cheapest sellers. If you'd like to save more, ask your optician about a cheaper lens.

FAQs

Do I need a prescription to buy lenses online? Yes. At Vision Direct, for example, you enter your prescription at checkout and can confirm it yourself, upload a photo of it or give your optician's details so it can be checked.

Is a 90-pack three months' supply? For one eye, yes. For two eyes it lasts 45 days, so you'll need about eight a year.

Are lenses cheaper online than from an optician? We haven't priced high-street opticians here. Ask yours for a price, including any care plan, and compare the total with delivery.

Is a 90-pack better value than three 30-packs? Yes. At Vision Direct, three 30-packs are 3 × £17.49 = £52.47, against £49.99 for one 90-pack, a saving of £2.48. The 30-pack makes sense if you only wear lenses some of the time.

Can I return lenses if my prescription changes? It depends on the seller. Vision Direct's 365-day guarantee covers unopened, undamaged boxes returned within a year.
