Advantages: Good website, cheap lenses

Disadvantages: My optician made it difficult to get a copy of my prescription

I bought my last batch of monthly disposable lenses from Sainsburys, but I don't know if I'll bother doing it again as it was really difficult getting a copy of my prescription from my optician (Boots). Having said that, once I managed to cajole a copy from them, Sainsburys were great. You save an average of about 40% buying your contact lenses through them as opposed to through a High Street optician and my contact lenses came through three days after I placed the order. I spoke to their customer care line a few times and always found them to be polite and helpful. Their website is fairly easy to navigate and I managed to place my order in just a few minutes - not bad considering I had to decipher all the cryptic information on my prescription. I'm not sure if I'll buy more contact lenses from Sainsburys after the problems I had trying to get a copy of my prescription which is a shame for them as they really didn't do anything wrong!

Summary: I'd go back, but only if I was strapped for cash!
