Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Toen ik bij Zeker Zicht aankwam, was ik al flink ziek geworden van een verkeerd aangemeten bril. De haastige medewerkers van Hans Anders & Specsavers hadden mij bijna doen geloven dat ik zelf het probleem was. Ik zou niet snel genoeg zijn tijdens de oogtest, en mijn hersenen zouden niet aan een bril met cilinder kunnen wennen. Silvia ging gelukkig anders te werk. Ze is rustig, duidelijk en neemt alle tijd voor het oogonderzoek. Inmiddels heb ik een bril gekocht op basis van haar oogmeting. Juist met een grotere cilinderaanpassing, maar minder sterkte. Voor de eerste keer in mijn leven kan ik met bril echt een stuk beter zien! Ik kom niet uit de buurt, maar de deskundigheid van Silvia maakt het meer dan de moeite waard om naar Amsterdam te reizen. De locatie is ook goed te bereiken met het OV. Gewoon doen dus! Dat kan je een hoop tijd en geld besparen!Jolijn2025-07-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect geholpen door Silvia! Deskundig en professioneel onderzoek.Edward Gubler2025-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Silvia is heel aardig en deskundig, ik kon dezelfde week nog terecht.Robin van Merle2025-06-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ik ben super goed geholpen door Silvia, en zou haar zeker aanraden. Ze was vriendelijk, kundig, en ik kon snel terecht voor het onderzoek. Ik vind het ook erg fijn dat zij geen brillen o.i.d. verkoopt, daarmee weet je dat je onafhankelijk advies krijgt. Hou er rekening mee dat zij op dit moment niet heel goed telefonisch bereikbaar is. Een externe partij regelt dit, maar die hebben geen inhoudelijke kennis en zijn niet representatief voor de goede zorg die Silvia geeft.Thomas J2025-06-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

What to Expect During a Contact Lens Fitting
At Zeker Zicht, your contact lens fitting takes place over two appointments. The first visit, or intake, lasts around 15 minutes. It includes a consultation, an eye analysis, and lens selection based on the eye exam and a questionnaire. The second visit, known as the lens training session, takes about 30 minutes. During this time, you will learn how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses, followed by a final check-up to assess lens strength and fit.

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.
No, eye drops or dyes are used that can change the color or composition of the lenses. Additionally, sometimes it’s necessary to assess the surface of the cornea without lenses. Please bring a lens case and, if possible, your glasses.
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.
Why Should an Optometrist Fit Contact Lenses?

Just like glasses, contact lenses only perform optimally when they are precisely fitted to the eyes. Subjective comfort alone doesn’t reliably indicate how well a lens is truly tolerated. Additionally, glasses and contact lens prescriptions differ due to the varying distance from the eye. For clear, comfortable vision, it’s essential to have your contact lenses fitted by a professional. They will also guide you through the different types of lenses available.
Choosing the wrong lenses can irritate the eyes or even lead to infections. Professionally fitted lenses, on the other hand, provide a perfect fit, superior comfort, and optimal tolerance.
Who Fits Contact Lenses?
In cases of medical eye conditions, an optometrist is the primary contact for lens fitting. The optometrist will first assess the overall health of your eyes and determine whether they’re suitable for contact lenses. If the eyes are healthy, opticians may also perform fittings. Specialists in contact lenses can be found through professional optometry associations.
Generally, the optometrist performs the lens fitting, using their expertise and routine to ensure a reliable and professional fitting for healthy eyes.
