believe it or not this is a tricky one .
if your partner's lenses don't arrive in time ,she will have to take an up to date prescription with her to spain. then it should be no problem .
i always take my prescription with me,
i have never needed to use it, until 4 years ago in spain i lost one of my contact lenses in the sea,
i took my prescription to local opticians,but because i had not had an eye test for over a year
they could not supply me with a replacement.(by law)
i wore my glasses for the remainder of the hols
i have no idea of the price but it is probably ,cheaper or more or less the same as the uk.
happy hols tony and partner.

Thanks
Although I had to pay for a sight test and contact lens consultation, and then pay for the lenses, it was still fairly cheap.
They do keep a wide range in stock, but I suppose it depends on your partner's prescription and type of lens used. It might be worth giving them a ring.

there is alway the in a hour service at vision express but i don't know if they do make them just by the precription but they may if you explain the situation. if you have time before you leave i would get there a soon as theyopen then they shouldn't be busy
Hope you were successful Tony! Have a good holiday.
I am curious Tony, did you suceed?
Hi Sorry about the delay, no we didn't manage to get them before we went, thanks for the help anyway. The reason we could not get them was a lack of proper contact lens prescription, my partner had her eye test at specsavers and had been having lenses from them for a few months, trouble is though that Specsavers do not give out contact lens prescriptions unless you specifically ask for them. They give you a spectacles prescription and try to keep the contact lens bit to themselves, (it may be me being cynical but could it be to make it difficult to get lenses from any other company?). Anyway she managed and we had a great time. Thanks again
As I said, I've had contacts on and off for years and ASDA seem to be the best.
