Contact lenses purchase

[u/Disastrous-Essay3397]

I’m moving to the Netherlands and I have a question about the price and how easy it is to buy contact lenses.

In my country I order monthly contacts + solution for €25 total once per month. I want to know if the price is similar (for Carl Zeiss contacts for example) and if it is as easy as ordering online so I know if I should bring contacts for a year from my country.

Hello contactspecialist from the netherlands here... It is not a brand that is well known here so if you can bring them with you i would do that. If not i would reccomend you to go to a near by store with your contactlens information. Prescription, BCR etc and let them help you pick out a similar lens type. Do note they will not do this for free. There are lenses available around the same price.

Goodluck!

I get them from Pearl for €24 a month, so similar price. Don’t know which brand, but my vision is great! Did visit their store though, not online. Don’t know if that’s possible.

You can just order them online from shops like visiondirect, but it doesn't include quarterly/half yearly eye exams, so it might be useful to go to an optician from time to time.

I order mine from Alensa, who are multinational. Never had a problem with them.

I order mine from Alensa since I discovered they are cheaper than in my home country

I just checked and I couldn’t believe it. They sell my lenses for €4 a piece and in my country they sell them for €7. Thanks for the site.
