I'm in the UK on holiday at the moment and not sure if to get my eye test done here or back in Qatar.

Can someone please advise how much it costs to have your eyes tested for contact lenses use and which is the best place ot go to?

Mum only has dial up here and it's soooooooo slow. Any way, thanks everyone for your help.

Looks like I will get the test back in Qatar, when I buy new lenses.

Darude, thanks for the offer :D

Lima, I guess if your hand over your glasses to the salesman he will give you the correct lens. They can get the number from your glasses. Unless ofcourse you would like to get your eyes tested again.

If u buy your lenses from the shop you test your eyes from, the eye test is free.

They dont charge you if you're on a monthly plan. My plan worked out around £12 (84QR) per month. But as they could'nt post them to Qatar, I had to cancel it. Now if I have a test in the UK, the cheapest I have found in £20.

I think I will buy some over in Qatar when I come back next week and get my eyes re-tested.

lima ... if you buy your contact lenses / glasses from the same shops they dont normally charge you. It is the same in Singapore / Malaysia / Indonesia. My husband bought 2 glasses from the optician outside lulu hypermarket. I never bought any contact lenses in Qatar because i always stock up when i go back home in Indonesia.

I really surprise when i found out that you have to pay in the UK.
