I finnaly had to bite the bullet and start using daily disposables for contacts(my eyes are going crazy thanks to smokers and the smog)...however paying $80+ a month is getting old....might as well buy lasik for that price in the long run.

Anybody know where I can get the best deal on contacts here? I heard Namdaemun is good.

I figure I might get lasik in the near future....if anybody knows a good place for that(price and quality wise) in seoul, reccomend them too.

How are you spending 80 a month? I buy two week lenses (6/box) that last a month and a half and they cost 35. I just go to my nearest ankyeong whenever I need new ones.

Those are two week disposables.....I used to be able to use those, but for the past year or so I find them unusable after only a few days...

So I've converted to Daily Disposables. I can stretch them out for 2-3 days, but it's still, I'm sure I can find a place that sells them cheap.

I just bought a pair of soft contact lenses that cost 80,000. My eyes are pretty bad. I was told this is why they're so expensive for me.

For those of us with astigmatisms, the toric lenses cost around W70,000 for a 6-pack.
