Good vision is crucial while navigating new cities, attending classes, or working in unfamiliar environments. Proper eye care can significantly enhance your travel experience.

We offer a range of options including prescription glasses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery. Our specialists can help you find the perfect solution based on your lifestyle and travel plans.

How long does it take to get new glasses or contacts?

The time frame varies. Prescription glasses can often be ready within a few days, while contact lenses may take one to two weeks depending on the type. We encourage you to plan ahead to ensure you have your eyewear ready before travel.

It’s advisable to bring extra pairs of contacts and a backup pair of glasses. If needed, some international optical shops can assist with same-day service, but always verify their ability to fulfil your prescription.
