Ozb community, I need your help for buying contact lenses from a reliable place. So far I have always bought it from overseas in person. They have been very cheap compared to prices quoted by Specsavers.
I have done a google search but of course I prefer a recommendation from this community.
Another question: The packaging on my existing lenses reads
DIA: 14
BC/r: 8.40
What are these values? From one online seller, I noticed that they had a different DIA for my power.
All help is appreciated.
Yeah, both eyes have same prescription.

For the usual brands, I usually wait until a deal pops up here (usually specsavers does some good ones occasionally), but my go-to are Dimple. Everyone is different, but for me these are the most comfortable by far, and they SOMETIMES do good afterpay discounts. The downside is that they dont do any health fund refunds (for it still works out cheaper for me as I'd rather spend my health fund allowance on glasses and contacts are expensive for me with 2 different prescriptions): https://www.dimplecontacts.com/. They do trial packs as well to see if they're a good fit for you.
Are both eyes the same prescription, If your not sure why not go get an eye test and a new script.
