ceylan Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi, can anyone tell me if contact lenses are cheaper or about the same price as the U.K? I have just run out of my monthly soft lenses and will be flying in next week. Should I order some here or just pick them up when I arrive? I could do with an eye test too..any recommendations? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I find that the one brand they have seems to fit my eyes better than other brands here. Let me know if you want me to look up what brand they are. Others seem to dry out or fall out very easily.

I am not sure about the fitting but an eye test is always included free in Thailand. They aren't usually too interested in your old prescription. Oh ya, mine are 1 month disposables but they usually last me roughly 3 months. From what I understand, there is no difference between 1 day and 1 month, you just have to clean them more often to last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
