   Our answer

   Yes. Vision Direct gives students a discount through Student Beans: verify your student status with Student Beans, which is free, then apply the discount at checkout. Its student page says new customers get 15% off and existing customers 6% off, across its full range of contact lenses, including daily, two-weekly, monthly and coloured lenses. It can't be combined with other discounts, and only one can be used per order.
