Prescription for contact lenses in Medellin?

Hello,

I am looking for an optometrist that speaks English to give me a prescription for contact lenses. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!

Getting an eye exam is easy. You can do it with very limited spanish.

For sure, you could get one in Farsi and as long as he/she can understand "yes/no" or you can say em in whatever language, your fine. They hand you the script you hit the store. No fuss no muss.

Mejor = Better
Peor = Worse

No matter where you go, the Korean tour bus isn't far behind.

I was wondering about this. Im moving to Colombia this summer. Ive been in Honduras for the past two years and I always brought a years supply of contact lenses with me. This time Im going straight to Colombia from Honduras and need to resupply down in Colombia. I love the brand I use and want to make sure I can get it down there. So I guess the question is how do I find out that I can get the kind I need in Colombia. Laflora who do u get yours through online? thanks

You don“t need a prescription to buy contact lenses. Just take your old box to an eye doctor and ask for the same brand. He might have to order it so do it a month before you run out.

Getting an eye exam is cheap and easy.
