optical express refund

Which is the cheapest UK high street optician for getting a contact lens consultation?

Boots, Optical Express, Vision Express, Specsavers, whatever… Which is the cheapest for a contact lens consultation, and do any of them refund the cost of the consultation if you order lenses (daily disposables) with them?

While I’m at it, which company is cheapest for the actual lenses?

I`ve been out of the UK now for a number oy years, but when there, Specsavers -in various parts of the country- were easily the best.

Nor did I EVER pay for a consultation (other than in a small town, High Street optician/optemetrist ; and that`s probably one of the reasons they are rapidly going out of business.

In any event, all you have to do is go in and ASK. They will tell you up-front what the various charges are or might be, before you commit yourself. Finally, a) unless there`s some specific reason to go straight/now to contacts, I`d let THEM do the consultation, and give you THEIR recommendations. & b) when you have a valid prescription (strengths etc., NOT the piece of paper) you`re a free agent; and for all but the most bottle-base equivalents, there is a selection of on-line suppliers – including Specsavers.
