Vision Direct sells contact lenses from the major brands, plus eye drops, lens solutions and other eye care, to UK shoppers at GBP prices that include VAT.
The rule that shapes any saving is simple: one promo code per order, and codes won't combine with lenses already on promotional pricing.
A group of opticians set up Vision Direct in 2004, and it has since grown beyond Britain, entering France in 2015 and now also serving customers in Spain, the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium. In 2016 it joined Essilor, and it has teams in London, Manchester, Amsterdam and York, with warehouses in York and Spain. Its own lens brand, everclear, launched in 2013 and now extends to solutions and eye drops.
Lenses can be browsed by wearing schedule, from daily to two-weekly, monthly and extended wear, or by type, including toric, multifocal, colored and silicone hydrogel lenses. A brand-equivalents section matches lenses sold under other retailers' names. The site also runs an Eye Care Centre with guides on reading a prescription and caring for lenses, and it has a page on recycling used contact lenses.

How long does Vision Direct shipping take?

What is Vision Direct's return policy?
