How Can I Get Contact Lenses Cheaper at Specsavers Australia in 2026?

The main official way to pay less for contact lenses at Specsavers in Australia is easypay, its contact lens subscription, which Specsavers says takes 10% off every order automatically and includes free tracked delivery. You can also claim optical extras online at checkout, start with a free trial pack, and use student pricing if you qualify, according to Specsavers at the time of writing. For one-off online orders, go through ShopBack before you check out on the Specsavers website. And the eye test itself is bulk billed if you have a valid Medicare card.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives part of what you spend at partner stores back to you as cash.

How can I get contact lenses cheaper at Specsavers?

Use Specsavers' own programmes first, then lower the price of the order itself. Here is what Specsavers offers, according to its Australian website at the time of writing:

Way to pay less	What Specsavers says
easypay subscription	10% off every contact lens order, applied automatically, plus free tracked delivery
Free check-ups	easypay includes free contact lens check-ups at your local Specsavers for six months
Glasses voucher	A $39 glasses voucher, including standard single-vision lenses, after your first automated easypay re-order
Health fund claiming	Pay online with your optical extras by choosing HICAPS or Tyro Health at checkout
Free trial pack	After your eye test and contact lens consultation, a free trial pack to try lenses at home
Student pricing	10% off full-priced items online plus free delivery for verified Student Beans members
Aftercare	Every contact lens purchase from Specsavers includes aftercare at no extra cost

A routine that works for most lens wearers:

1. Get your contact lens prescription sorted. Specsavers notes that a contact lens prescription can differ from a glasses prescription, because lenses sit on the eye.
2. Try before you buy. Use the free trial pack so you only pay for lenses that suit you.
3. Pick the cheapest way to order. Easypay if you wear lenses regularly, or a one-off order if you wear them now and then.
4. Claim your extras. If your health cover includes optical, claim at checkout.
5. Open ShopBack first when you order online. Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order.

How much does an eye test cost at Specsavers?

With a valid Medicare card, a Specsavers eye test costs nothing out of pocket. Specsavers says it bulk bills, so when you present a valid Medicare card you receive a comprehensive eye examination at no out-of-pocket expense, "whether you're in Kalgoorlie or Canberra". Its terms say the bulk billed eye health check is available when listed on a valid Medicare card without optometry restrictions.

What the test includes, according to Specsavers:

• A comprehensive eye examination with a qualified optometrist.
• An OCT scan. Specsavers says it includes an advanced 3D eye scan (Optical Coherence Tomography) as part of every standard comprehensive eye test, at no extra charge. It takes less than a minute and helps optometrists spot conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration early.
• How often: Specsavers recommends a test at least once every two years, or once a year if you are over 65, at no extra cost to you, and sooner if you notice a change in your vision.

Who can get a Medicare card. Specsavers lists Australian or New Zealand citizens, permanent visa holders (or applicants) and visitors from a reciprocal health care agreement country among those who may be eligible to apply.

Without Medicare, or for a contact lens appointment. Specsavers describes its contact lens appointment as a little different to a regular eye test. It does not list fees for these on the pages we checked, so ask your local store what applies before you book.

Specsavers contact lenses discount in Australia in 2026: easypay explained

Easypay is Specsavers' contact lens subscription, and it is the most consistent discount Specsavers offers on lenses. According to Specsavers:

• 10% off every order, applied automatically.
• Free tracked delivery every time.
• Free contact lens check-ups at your local Specsavers for six months.
• Free glasses: a voucher worth $39, including standard single-vision lenses, after your first automated re-order (not the first order you sign up with).
• No minimum contract. You can cancel, skip or change at any time, push your next order date out for a holiday, and set your frequency as far apart as once a year.

Codes and easypay. Specsavers says you cannot add promotional codes to an easypay order with a discounted price. You can use a promotional code through the regular checkout or express re-order instead. If a code saves less than 10%, easypay usually wins.

A worked example with illustrative numbers (not real prices):

Order	Illustrative price	With easypay 10% off
Three months of daily lenses	$150	$135
Over a year (four orders)	$600	$540

On these numbers, easypay saves about $60 a year, plus delivery, before any health fund claim.

Specsavers official deals and other ways to save

Beyond easypay, Specsavers has a few official offers worth knowing about.

The cheapest way to save money on Specsavers lenses in Australia in 2026

For most regular wearers, the cheapest route is easypay plus your health fund extras; for occasional wearers, a one-off online order through ShopBack.

• Daily wearer with optical extras. Easypay's 10% off, then claim your extras at checkout.
• Occasional wearer. Order when you need lenses, open the Specsavers page on ShopBack first, and check out on the website.
• Student. Compare the Student Beans offer with easypay and use whichever saves more for how often you wear lenses.
• New to lenses. Book an eye test (bulk billed with a valid Medicare card) and ask about the free trial pack before you buy a full supply.

Contact lenses in Australia are also sold by other optical chains such as OPSM and Oscar Wylee and by online lens sellers, among others. Whichever store you use, follow your optometrist's prescription and compare the cost per day of wear.
