Do I have a guarantee on my purchases?

All our products have a legal warranty in accordance with applicable laws. A legal warranty means that a product is, or must be, what the consumer can reasonably expect from it. For some products, there is an additional contractual quality guarantee. This applies if the useful life of the products is stated on the packaging, in the instructions accompanying the product or in advertising, in accordance with other statutory provisions.

Is it possible to exchange a returned item immediately?

Depending on the case, it is. For some returns our warehouse needs to check if the products are faulty or not, in order to check if you meet the returned item procedure. In that case, it might take a bit longer before we can send you a new product.

You can get more information on the online dispute resolution website.You can fill in our form here.

Contact lenses

Can I try new lenses?

Yes, you can switch to new lenses if you like. For some products, the description indicates that it is possible to switch to other lenses. Please note, however, that contact lenses are not only available in different sizes, but also in different materials depending on the manufacturer. We therefore recommend to discuss briefly with your optician whether you can change to your desired lens. We currently cannot offer free samples of new lenses.

As you already know, the size of the contacts must match your eyes properly to improve your vision. Check this comparison table of base curve & diameter specifications where you can compare the differences in diameter, base curve and other parameters of different contacts. If you want to change the type of contacts or the brand you are wearing, your optician is the perfect advisor. However, our customer service team will be happy to provide you with information about contact lenses and how to use them.

Why are your lenses cheaper than from the optician's?

We are in close contact with the manufacturers and buy contact lenses in large quantities. Therefore we can offer our lenses at lower prices than opticians. Would you like to find out more about the cheaper version of your optician’s lenses? Check this page on the private contact lens brands!

Can I sleep with my lenses in?

It depends on the type of contact lenses you are wearing and what your optician has advised, but generally it is not recommended to sleep with your contact lenses in. If you would like to learn more, you can find all the information in this article on sleeping with contact lenses in..

What liquid can I use to clean my lenses?

The only liquid you should use to clean and disinfect your contact lenses is contact lens solution. Never clean or rinse your contact lenses with tap water, boiled water or any other liquid. Please note that each solution has slightly different qualities and capabilities. The most important question is: What works best for your eyes? Always ask your optician for advice, then take a look at our solutions and our value packages.

Glasses and contact lens prescriptions

Do I need a prescription?

If you want to buy contact lenses at Lentiamo you can get lenses without a prescription Since contact lenses are medical products that, if purchased incorrectly, can seriously damage your eyes, you should only buy them after receiving medical advice. You can get a prescription for contact lenses at an optician.

If you're looking for glasses, you need to indicate your spectacle values. Also, you should only buy a pair of glasses after medical advice. You can get a glasses prescription from your optician or eye doctor.

How do I read my prescription?

The information you need to fill in for buying glasses or lenses can be found in your prescription. The prescription is made especially for your eyes. Therefore, you must follow the parameters that are stated in your prescription.

How often should I have my eyes tested?

We recommend you take an eye exam every 6 to 12 months in order to make sure that the parameters are still valid. This way, you can be absolutely sure that the glasses and contact lenses you buy will fit perfectly. Adjustments are very important, considering that eyesight can change several times over a lifetime, so be sure to check your eyes regularly.

Is my prescription for contact lenses the same as my prescription for glasses?

No, your prescription is not the same. If you are wearing glasses but you would like to try contact lenses, please go to your optician to get a prescription for lenses. On a lens prescription, you will find specifications listed separately for each eye, as they can have different needs. After receiving your prescription, you can start ordering your lenses here.
