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?

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.
