Buying Contact Lenses in Beijing
July 13, 2007 | Author: Carl Pei | Filed under: Beijing, Shopping
I got some contact lenses today, in a shop inside the supermarket called Century Mart just below the apartment.
It was a bit hard to find, but the eyeglass shop was pretty good. The guy working there was very helpful, this was my first time using contact lenses, and I learned fast thanks to the staff there. During the process, we had a nice chat.
The contact lenses are name brand from Johnson & Johnson, which is good as it makes me feel safe. Due to the brand, the price is similar to that of Sweden. However, they first checked my eyesight to determine which contacts I should use - and that was free. It would have cost quite a bit in Sweden. I also got a liquid for my eyes to use when they feel dry. All in all I spent less than 500 CNY for a months supply of contacts, about $70 USD. I’m pretty happy.
Contact lenses are great! I’ve heard so many horror stories about them, but when I wear them, I feel nothing at all. The freedom gained from them is incredible, I don’t wear glasses normally - so I had a hard time seeing before. Not anymore.
