Contact lens shops near Universität, Schwabing

I usually buy my contacts online or in the US but I'm out and need a couple in a pinch.

As I understand it I can go to any Apotheke with my diameter, curve and perscription and get some right? My concern is that I'm looking for a brand that is uncommon (but not unheard of) in Germany thus seeking a contact lense specialist with a wide selection.

Can anyone recommend a place, ideally in the stretch between Universität and Josephsplatz?

get yourself some clark kent style specs, dw
i think they'd make you look all intellectual, like

Well I do look just like him...

Many places are quite strict with conact lenses and insist on a prescription from the last 12 months.

I did notice however that Walmart are now selling contact lenses and you can just pick them up off the shelf.

According to Dr. Warner, you can get contacts now at Schlecker. Maybe not all, but the big ones are likely.

But wear your glasses. Glasses on men are sexy.

But I gots no glasses. Haven't had them in a while...

Shoot. Dark short-haired engineer in glasses would have been dreamy.

I did find this old pic of me:

he's kinda cute

DrivinWest, what happened? You were such a good looking kid! Well, comparatively...

strange. I tried typing what you suggested, showem, into the schlecker search field and all I got was an (extensive) selection of toilet bowl cleaners...

There are two opticians between gisela str and Münchner Freiheit. Both sell lenses of all sorts.

just get them at schlecker if you've got standrad peepers, i would
thy've got packs of 90 one-day connies for 50 euros
you just can't go wrong, surely

While it won't help your immediate need, there is also this site for buying in Germany online. Not tried it yet though.

edit: which schlecker did you find them at Topsy?

I have only ever heard that word used for condoms

really?
never heard 'em called that
the price range would be about the same, though, no?

Thanks all! I'd like to 2nd butterbean's request for which Schlecker sells them. That looks to be my best bet for today.

mmm - well, i found them online, but dunno about the actual shop shops
middle coulumn of "spezial shops", third from the top
i'll be walking past a coupl of schleckers in the next hour or so on one of my daily strolls, so i'll have a quick look or ask the nice lady
won't be able to report back until about 2.30, though

@ Topsy

Thanks so much!

i asked the nice lady in the shop - you have to order tehm, either online or in the shops, according to her
she reckoned none of the stores carry stocks
so not very good news, sadly

I got mine on Teng strasse near Josephsplatz - don't remember the brand (Just ask Johnny!). They were monthly lenses that I have had in 6months now (not continuously) without any problems at all. And I have worn them on the plane and stuff. Schwabrillion on Tengstrase.

Order them online on www.linsensuppe.de

Wörle Optikstudio in Augustenstraße specialises in contact lenses. I need special lenses too and can really recommend this optician.
