value normally does all my optical work. the test is simple sanch they test 1, how much oil your eyes produce im am borderline so i have to clean/replace lenses more often and 2, the diameter of your iris as everyone isnt the same so just like glasses ur contacts are suited to you. once they determine the strength needed they will give you atrial pair to use for a week to make sure they are comfortable and not causing any problems. after that well the decision is yours if you want to buy locally or online i usually get straight from them as it saves me time i just order and collect. Presently i am using a new lens on the market called BIOMEDICS toric lenses they are very good and highly recomended by top opticians even most of them are using it locally. i usually pay 600-700 for six pairs as my eyes have two different perscriptions. each pair last about a month but i use them for sometimes two months before they start to elongate due to the astigmatism. i honestly wouldnt reccomend permanent if you have an astigmatism as this causes the lens to elongate after time and you would end up having to replace any way disposables are the way to go.
Conrad any optician can do the test unfortunately most are extremly busy so u will have to book an appointment. usually when u get tested they will give you a trial pair for free to try out once they have stock that is sutible for your eyes cost for test is about 150 if i remeber.
hope this helps.
