Dear Mr Louch of Daysoft online Contact Lenses, as we are all aware more and more patients are turning to the internet to purchase their contact lenses, many for the convenience of online shopping from the home as well as not needing to supply a valid prescription.

I am a great believer in daily disposable contact lenses being more hygienic and convenient than many reusable lenses. In many cases I would rather my patients wear a cost-effective daily disposable lenses than save money by using reusable lenses.

As you are a GOC registered member I am sure you are aware UK law requires a valid written prescription for the supply of contact lenses and only the lenses specified can be supplied. How do you get round suppling daysoft when I am unaware of any practitioners who fit these lenses? How do you go about arranging their follow up aftercare as recommended when any contact lenses are supplied?
