Get started with Contact Lenses at Specsavers

Most people who need glasses can also wear contact lenses, including those who are short‑sighted, long‑sighted, require a reading prescription or have an astigmatism. However, contact lenses require a specific contact lens prescription, as factors such as eye health, lens fit and comfort need to be assessed.

A contact lens assessment will confirm whether contact lenses are suitable for you and which type is best for your eyes and lifestyle.

Easycare is a monthly direct debit scheme that makes wearing contact lenses simple and stress‑free. It includes your contact lenses, regular aftercare appointments, and additional benefits such as free standard solutions (where applicable).

Your lenses are delivered straight to your door, so you never have to worry about running out.

Yes. To join our Easycare contact lens subscription service, you’ll need a valid contact lens prescription issued by Specsavers. This ensures we can supply the correct lenses safely and provide ongoing aftercare to look after your eye health.

If you don’t currently have a Specsavers contact lens prescription, you can book a contact lens consultation in‑store.

A contact lens consultation is needed if you’re new to contact lenses or changing lens type. It checks that the lenses fit correctly, feel comfortable, and provide clear vision.

A contact lens health check is a routine check‑up for existing wearers, usually carried out every 12 months, to ensure your lenses are still fitting well and your eyes remain healthy.

If you’re an Easycare member, your contact lenses are automatically delivered to you as part of your plan.

If you’re not on Easycare, but have bought contact lenses from us before, you can re‑order contact lenses online, in‑store, or by contacting customer support, as long as your contact lens prescription is still valid.

A contact lens prescription is different from a glasses prescription as it includes specific measurements like lens diameter (DIA), base curve (BC), and material suited directly to your eye. Look for these measurements to tell if your prescription is for contact lenses – if you can’t find them on your prescription, then it is for glasses.

If you don’t have an up‑to‑date prescription, you can book an eye test and contact lens consultation at Specsavers, where an optician will check your vision, fit, and eye health. If you already have a valid contact lens prescription from another optician, you can bring that in to order your lenses.
