Contact Lenses
The sale and supply of Contact Lenses is governed by the 1989 Optician's Act [Link to Act] http://www.optical.org/en/about_us/legislation/opticians_act.cfm
It is illegal to sell or supply contact lenses without being a qualified Optician.
The relevent section of the act is the description of the "Seller" :
(i) includes any person who supplies the optical appliance or, as the case may be, the zero powered contact lens whether or not payment is made to him for the supply;
Therefore unless the Freegler offering contact lenses is an Optician, it would be illegal.
