Buying guide
What to know before you buy Eye Care in New Zealand
Buy eye drops online in New Zealand
All 39 eye drops products we ship to New Zealand are on this page, with the strength, pack size and price on each one. You will find brands like Lumigan, Alcarex Eye Drop, Azopt Eye Drop and Betagan, and molecules such as Bimatoprost, Acetazolamide, Alcaftadine and Betaxolol, in eye drops, ointments, tablets and drops. Strengths on the shelf include 2.5 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 250 mg. Open a product to pick the option you want and see the price for that exact choice.
The same molecule shows up under several names and strengths: bimatoprost as Lumigan 0.03%, Lumigan 0.01% and Lashisma, and ciclosporin as both Hydroeyes HS and Cyclomune. Not everything here is a drop either, as Zoxan and Stye are ointments and Diamox and Macuvite are tablets. Eye Care groups products to make them easier to find; it does not mean every one of them is right for you.
How to choose the right eye drops
Start with the product type, stated formulation, pack format, label details, and warnings on the label. Two products can share a name and still differ in strength, form or how many you get, so read the whole product page rather than going by the title.
Check the photos, the pack details, the storage notes and the directions on the label. If something you need to know is missing, ask us before you order instead of guessing.
Prices and pack sizes
Where a product comes in more than one strength or pack, the card shows the lowest price and the exact price appears once you choose. These go out as a single bottle rather than a multipack, and the size is only in some titles: 2.5 ml on Xalatan and Travacom, 5 ml on Combigan and Zaditor, 3 ml on Lumigan. The Stye tube is 3.5 g and Diamox is a 250 mg tablet. Look at the active ingredient, the bottle size in millilitres, whether it is preservative-free, and whether it comes as single-use vials or a multi-dose bottle.
Prices are shown in the currency of the market you are browsing. Check your cart before checkout: the product, the option, how many, the delivery address, the shipping charge and the total are all there.
Delivery to New Zealand
Delivery to New Zealand is NZ$59, and free once your order reaches NZ$335. Checkout creates your order and the confirmation email explains how to pay; we ship once payment clears and send tracking to the address you gave. Where a price says duties paid, import duty is already included -- nothing extra is collected when it arrives, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Delivery times are estimates. Customs checks, public holidays and an incomplete address can all add days. For New Zealand, check the recipient name, street address, suburb or locality, region when used, and postcode before you place the order.
Before you buy
Check the product type, stated formulation, pack format, label details, and warnings on the label on the eye drops you are looking at. Being in this category does not mean a product is right for you. Read the product page, the label, the warnings and the directions. Plenty of titles name no ingredient at all, Optipres, Travacom, Dorzox T, FML and Ciplox among them, so check the active ingredient printed on the product page or the carton instead of going by the brand name.
This page helps you find and compare products. It is not a diagnosis and not advice about what you should take. Ask a pharmacist or your doctor if you are unsure whether something is right for you.
