�10-�15 for the eye test and most opticians are now doing first month free offers to see if you like them......I would recommend laser eye surgery though...got it done 7 months ago and it's fab!
specsavers give you a free weeks trial for daily disposables which i would highly recommend. i think they are �24 a month. I'll never go back to ones i have to clean! I am thinking about laser surgery myself when funds stretch that far.
I would recommend The Eye Clinic
www.eyeclinicdirect.com
as they offer free eye tests and free months trial of daily disposables or 3 months of monthly disposables.
