    Wow, that's quite a saving. Thanks rep for posting. Unfortunately I already stocked up in July.

    Has been a while since i looked for well good price contact lenses, but I remember clearlycontacts.com.au was easily the best price/service.

    Has this changed? They've got $25 off your first order (over $99).

    I guess buying locally has it's benefits, but once you have your script it should be pretty easy. clearlycontacts has free ship returns etc

      clearlycontacts.com.au no longer has a provider number where you can claim from your health fund (if you have private health insurance). At least that was the case the last time I looked.

      I'd like to think we have the best offering for service and aftercare. With our buying power we have everyday low prices like other pureplayers, however we also have a network of 300 stores that are able to deliver the aftercare every contact lens wearer needs.
      $50 Off $100 spend is a great offer to give us a go.

      All the best

        had a quick check of a few products, bloody hard with all the variations and box qtys. but looks like this code does make it a pretty good deal.

      easyvision Opteyes Toric is exactly the same as Biofinity Toric (in fact last time I bought them they had just stuck the easyvision sticker over the Biofinity label on the box).

    Hi rep, can you let us know what the exp date is roughly? I am stocking up for my wife but she only uses these a few days a week.

    • Store RepJack Hawks @ Specsavers on 19/08/2014 - 17:06

      I believe there is a fairly generous expiry date on contact lenses. Should be on the box as it varies. Let me know how you go. Contact Lenses last at least 1 year… so you'll be safe.

    Hi rep. I currently wear glasses and I was be a first time contacts user. What would you suggest in terms of how it all works. So I replace the lenses daily with new ones etc? Also how is the safety side of them. Cheers.

    • Wolfy on 19/08/2014 - 17:56

      If you are being serious, visit your optometrist.
      It's likely your contact lens prescription is different to your glasses, they can recommend the best type of contacts for you and show you how to take care of them.
      … then go online and order them much cheaper than they'll sell them at the shop - even better if you visit SpecSavers because they have no issue with you saying you'll order them from their website.

    • Alcoano on 19/08/2014 - 18:16

      Definitely see your optometrist first. You don't want to get the wrong contacts. I didn't know i had astigmatism and had to use special contacts.

    • revacious on 19/08/2014 - 22:31

      Your glasses prescription is not the same as your contact prescription, as contacts lie on the surface of the eye but glasses are a good 15-20mm away. Also contacts have different curvatures and diameters - you want them to fit nicely like a beanie on a head rather than a cup on a boob.

    • tonester on 20/08/2014 - 02:21

      always be properly fitted/trained by an eye specialist who can provide free trial lenses :)

      Hi chk, without divulging too much it is a pretty common offer around summer for all optometrists, so come spring time expect there to be some really good deals on prescription sunglasses at Specsavers. That's all I'm saying! Jack Hawks.

    Also it's $50 back for every $100 spent ?

    • Store RepJack Hawks @ Specsavers on 20/08/2014 - 08:36

      Hi pinkscarf - the field to enter your code is on the second screen after entering your prescription. I can confirm however it is a one use only code ie $50 off once no matter how much you spend in the transaction. Jack Hawks

  • dan1985 on 19/08/2014 - 18:06

    6 months (4 boxes of 3) of Air Optix Night & Day at Specssavers comes to $100 + $10 shipping = $110 with this code.
    6 months (2 boxes of 6) of the same lenses at Clearlycontacts comes to $159.98 + $6.95 shipping = $166.93.

    No brainer! Thanks Rep!

    • Wolfy on 19/08/2014 - 18:10

      ClearlyContacts will not price match either - not because it's a special deal, but because SpecSavers have local/physical shops - stupid excuse.

      However the ClearlyContacts website, order and payment systems and re-order process is much better than SpecSavers.

    • cosmic on 19/08/2014 - 19:12

      quicklens is $55 for 1 box of 6, $10 shipping. can NOT claim for health fund though.

      • 2024 on 19/08/2014 - 20:30

        After I checked my emails, I discovered this is where I usually order from (and the same lenses). Definitely recommended if you don't claim on health insurance.

    • 2024 on 19/08/2014 - 20:29

      You sure about that one?
      As I mentioned above, I just ordered 2 boxes of air optics aqua n&d and they were only $52 per box, and the special was only $3 off so usual price is $55.

      EDIT - scratch that, i just checked my emails and i realise I place my orders through quicklens. :)
      Not sure where I got clearly contacts from.

      Dan1985, if they are your usual contacts,after this deal I recommend you try quicklens,usual price for a box of 6 is $55.05 normal price.

    Depends on what you order. Including shipping, it's $164 on Specsavers and $155 on Clearly Contacts for me. Plus I get a further 9% cashback from starthere with Clearly Contacts.

  • Super_Dre on 19/08/2014 - 20:46

    How important is the Base Curve? im ordering some contacts for a friend. her prescription says BC of 8.7 but i cant find anything matches. is 8.5 close enough?

    • mr_asstight on 19/08/2014 - 21:36

        BC (base curve) and diameter relate to the size of your eye. If your eyes matter then so do BC and diameter.

      • revacious on 19/08/2014 - 22:33
        +1

        are you kidding me? they absolutely do matter. i don't even know where to begin explaining this what is this i dont even.

        +2

        You really shouldn't be giving out completely false information like that, but I guess anyone stupid enough to order contact lenses without a proper contact lens prescription have bigger problems to worry about.

        Super_dre, your friend would have been prescribed a certain contact lens that suited their eye, it would be best to order that lens again, or if they are no longer manufactured or supplied, then it would be best for them to talk to an optometrist again to find a suitable replacement.

        BC is definitely important, not every eye is the same and a proper fitting lens is important, otherwise the lens will slide around, which can result in either the lens getting trapped, or worse with corneal damage.

    • tonester on 20/08/2014 - 02:27

      depends upon lens rigidity amongst other factors :)

    • moocher on 20/08/2014 - 07:37

      It's not a good idea to guess. I had the same problem going from one brand of contact lens to another, and consulted an optometrist. She said that the wrong base curve will not fit your eye as comfortably. Some eyeballs are more 'flat', some are more curved.

      • tonester on 27/08/2014 - 17:34

        base curve = lens curvature :)

  • sharxter on 19/08/2014 - 21:38

  • neil on 19/08/2014 - 22:20

    I've been buying Acuvue Advance from overseas for a while. Doesn't look like Specsavers stocks these but I do recall my optometrist mentioning they were being phased out in Australia and replaced by something similar. Any idea which one that is?

  • leeming32 on 19/08/2014 - 22:31

  • eyekea on 19/08/2014 - 22:40
    +1

    Everyone gets that these are grey imports right? And that Specsavers reportedly bypass local sponsor/importer laws by bringing lenses over per customer not per carton. I did consulting for a contact lens company worried about poor temperature control of their lenses during Specsavers international transit so please do be mindful of all factors related to cheap overseas medical devices including contact lenses.

    Thanks Jack! Just got the better half a couple of boxes of easyvision Linarial for each eye and guessing will have to do a manual claim with Medibank Private next. As I am only a reading glasses man myself I'll keep an eye out (see what I did there?) for the next great deal..although I probably should rock down and check out the refurbished Warringah Mall store (my local) and get a re-test first! Need to see a special where I can get a few of those $249 frames down to my Health Fun $199 for 2 pairs limit!
