Yes. You do not have to buy your contact lenses from the Opticians practice that you have your examinations at. However, if you’re being fitted with a completely new brand of contact lenses (or your first ever pair of contact lenses) you may have to buy those lenses from your Optician for up to three months. This is known as the contact lens fitting phase. As soon as that phase is over then you can be issued a prescription and buy from Lenstore.co.uk.
