Getting eye drops online

Hello everyone. I've read various posts about people getting eye drops online, with a prescription. Can anyone recommend a good supplier? Thank you.

I use Lloyds direct, order via my NHS app and receive in the post about a week later.

Very easy process.

Thank you, I'll look at Lloyd's website.

If you're unsure how to do this, do ask at your GP practice or visit there website. There should be instructions on how to set this up.

Hi Helen, thank you for your reply. However I realise I didn't make myself clear, sorry. I meant ordering privately on the internet.

I haven't heard of getting drops online with a prescription, apart from what has already been mentioned. I definitely wouldn't advise doing it that way, if it does exist.

Ok, thank you. I must have got the wrong end of the stick somehow!

I would never buy my eye drops online, mine are free because I live in Wales, I would not do that even if I have to pay for them, simply because you never know what you are buying, I would prefer to get it from a pharmacy but we are all different.

Not what you're looking for?
