Default Contact lenses

Any recommendations ? I currently use 1 day acuvue trueye, and find them really comfortable, however I only wear them on the weekends and in the gym,

Has anyone used these and changed to a cheaper brand without sacrificing comfort, would be interested to hear as I did try some cheaper ones years ago when I first started wearing lenses, but being a contact 'novice' found the trueyes the easiest to put in so went with them and have remained so

I use the ones you can sleep in, you can wear them up to a month. I usually wear them for two weeks then have a few days off, very comfortable and I've had no issues with them

I use the ones you can sleep in. I get mine from Getlenses. I order them through their Dutch outlet as it doesn't ask me to send a copy of my prescription.

I wear Focus dailies every day. £178 for a 12 month supply (360 pairs), cheapest by a long way.

I get mine from spesavers, switched to an online supplier and didn't find them as comfortable. I would stick with an optician for the regular check ups just to be on the safe side. You can never be too careful with your eyesight on my opinion.

Nah, they're just cosmetic to change the colour of your eyes. The bit over your pupil is clear so it doesn't have any affect on your sight.
