In the Netherlands, you would likely get your first contacts from the same optician's that just gave you your free eye test. They famously don't let you leave with them until they've seen you put them in correctly yourself. A friend of mine had to embarrassingly come back another day and try again, after his eyes had gotten too irritated from the failed attempts.
You can still buy disposables over the counter, though.
- raverbashing 3y agoYeah, I wouldn't want to buy contacts before being shown how to use them. Really It's not hard, but at the first time, the guidance is really useful
- NavinF 3y ago> They famously don't let you leave with them until they've seen you put them in correctly yourself It's the same in the US. (Well I'm sure if you insisted they'd let you, but standard practice is to try again the next day. I know people who had to go several times before buying contacts)
