Hey everyone,

Im new here, me and my family are looking to move over in jan 2011.

Just wondering, does any know how to get hold of contact lenses in lanzarote ? as over here in the uk im at specsavers and they send me mine every 3 months, just wondering how it works over in lanzarote ?


Many thanks

All the opticians on the island stock lenses. It sounds like you have disposables - I buy mine from the opticians in Deiland and sometimes from Optica Boulevar under the multi storey car park in central Arrecife.

You just need to know (or have a copy of) your prescription and you can walk in and buy them. They both stock Acuvue as well as a cheaper make.

Thank you for replying :)

Do you have you eyes tested somewhere else them go and get them or do they test your eyes there too?


sorry about the questions

You can get them tested in either of those opticians. From memory it costs about €18 for adults, and kids are free. Or you can bring your UK or Irish prescription.
