Anyone done this?

How much is the cost and where is the best place to go.

Im in Busan near PNU if that helps.

Thanks

unlike getting prescription medication which is more difficult here than overseas, getting contacts is actually very simple here. they are cheap and you don't need a prescription. walk into an eyeglass shop and if you know your eye prescription you can walk out with them right there.

Wow, is that the case everywhere? If so, that's awesome. Contacts are the only thing I rely on home for

yes i'm fairly sure it's everywhere and anywhere in korea. you don't even need to order them from an eye doctor, an eyeglass shop is sufficient. i didn't know this either until a korean told me. i had also been ordering my contacts overseas.

plus, contacts here are WAY cheaper than overseas.
