Just eye care
Have you been wearing contact lenses for a long time? Then it’s essential to have both your eyes and your lenses checked regularly by a qualified optometrist. Over time, your eyes can change, and your lenses might not fit as perfectly as they once did.

Why a Contact Lens Check-Up is Important
Accurate Lens Prescription: Your eyes and lens prescription can change over time. Regular check-ups ensure that you are always wearing the correct lens strength, which improves sharp vision and eye comfort.
Monitoring Eye Health: Wearing contact lenses can pose risks such as eye infections or irritation. During the check-up, we assess your cornea and tear film to detect and treat any issues early.
Optimizing Lens Fit: Properly fitting lenses are essential for comfort and healthy eyes. We check the fit of your lenses and provide advice on the right lens materials and types for your eyes.
Personalized Lens Advice: We discuss your lens usage and lifestyle to offer personalized advice on the maintenance, wearing, and replacement of your contact lenses.

What to Expect During a Contact Lens Check-Up
Our experienced optometrists perform a comprehensive contact lens check-up, including:
- Visual Screening: We test your vision at a distance and close-up, with and without lenses.
- Refraction Measurement: We measure your eyes with lenses to determine or adjust your lens prescription.
- Eye Examination: We closely examine your eyes using a microscope to check for abnormalities, irritation, or inflammation.
- Tear Film Analysis: We assess the quality of your tear film to ensure it provides adequate moisture for your lenses.
- Lens Assessment: We check your lenses for wear, dirt, and damage.
After the contact lens check-up, we discuss the findings with you and answer all your questions. We provide personalized advice on your eye health, lens maintenance, lens choice, and wearing contact lenses.
FAQ's
This depends on the type of appointment and the eye complaints. For a contact lens check or a dry eye examination, it takes approximately 15-20 minutes. If you have other eye complaints that need further investigation with an eye scan or an eye microscope, your eyes will be dilated, and the total duration will be 1 hour: 15 minutes for the examination, 30 minutes waiting for the drops to take effect, plus another 15 minutes for additional tests.
This depends on the type of appointment. If you don’t have a referral letter, you can read more about the costs per appointment type via this link.
If you have a digital referral (ZorgDomein), you pay nothing.
With a paper referral (not via ZorgDomein), you pay approximately €70 from your insurance deductible and €30 out of pocket.
Then you will be referred directly to the ophthalmologist, or your general practitioner will be advised to refer you to another medical specialist. This will be discussed with you.
