Hrmmm..

I've just tried to get my prescription contact lenses fron a few of the stores around Namdaemun and no-one seems willing to order them...

They are Bausch & Lomb Purevision lenses. I have the boxes they come in along with the strength required. Does anyone know where I would be able to order them from? They are the silicon ones for a stigmatism.

Any help would be useful..

From the sounds of it i have the same contacts. I just went to a store across the road from my school (anyang) and they were there the next week. Maybe they want to test your eyes first (normally its free)? Just keep trying you can get them.

You can get Acuvue2 lenses all over the place. That's what I use. Why not purchase 2 packs of those in the same size, on pack for each eye, with the correct powers for the stigmatism?

I have no idea what difference silicon makes??

Its probably the astigmatism part of it that's causing the problem. I had the same problem

Allows more oxygen through. They're better for your eyes than the other kinds.
