Anywhere to purchase Contact Lenses in CM?

[JimmyJ]

Thank you.

Probably every optician, there is at least one in every mall or shopping center, and dozens more somewhere outside.

Have you tried buying some contact lenses from a KFC ?

But not if there are out of ordinary lenses required.

In this case they could probably still order them for you. Ordering them yourself on Lazada or Shopee might be easier though.

I'm looking for Acuvue Oasys, (made by Johnson & Johnson).

I read on the forum that there is no Customs fees if the stated value is less than 1500 THB.

 

Is that correct?

 

What % does Thai Customs take for contacts if they arrive from outside Thailand with a stated value over 1500 THB?

[Thailand]

From a previous attempt to order online via a Thailand optician.

 

"1,000 Baht for documents issued by a licensed optometrist in clearance process.

 

Contact lens is classified as medical equipment in Thailand, Thai FDA approval is needed. Many people tried to order online as they carried their own prescriptions but even for personal use, at the end they gave up and discarded the package as the process was so complicated."

Would these be sent to me from within Thailand so no Customs issues?

No reason why not,  https://www.acuvue.co.th/contact-lense/acuvue-oasys-2-weeks  are in Thailand and recommend both Lazada and Shopee as suppliers.
