Hey!
I lived in Turkey 6 months last year.. and my advice to you is GET CONTACTS before you come. I didn't look for an eye doctor there, but I figured to save on the hassle. Also- stock up on solution. It is hard to find (only in pharmacies) and expensive (23 lira a regular size bottle). I brought two big ones with me and a little travel size one for trips, and it worked out great. A little inconvienent, but it saved money. |

| What if you're going to be in Turkey longer than 6 months! Like for years? You can't get that many years of contacts in advance in the US so I'll have to get some in Turkey. |
