Lenstore is a UK contact lens shop selling daily, two-weekly, monthly, toric, multifocal and colored lenses from major brands, plus solutions and eye care, priced in GBP.
Before you chase a discount, double-check your prescription. Lenses only come back for a refund or exchange when they're unopened, unused and in original condition.
Lenstore's catalog reaches past lenses into multi-purpose, saline and hydrogen peroxide solutions, lens cases, eye drops, dry-eye products and eye vitamins. The company ties its online sales to in-person care: customers who buy prescription lenses can book a free eye test at any of more than 600 Vision Express branches around the UK.
Orders need a valid prescription that is no older than 24 months, and faulty lenses are replaced under a satisfaction guarantee. Lenstore also publishes the Vision Hub, a library of articles on eye conditions, lens care and wearing habits, with an Ask Our Optician section for reader questions. It runs student, key worker and refer-a-friend schemes, and customers in London can get their lenses delivered the same day.
