Optician in an emergency???

Hi, Just want to be prepared in case of emergency. Can you walk into any Vision Express store in Europe and be out an hour later with your contacts/specs? Regards

Assuming there is a Vision Express outlet, then I see no reason why not, although I would allow more than an hour. My limited understanding is that not every type of lens can be produced in an hour. If you have a prescription already, then it may speed up the process.

I know that my wife had an eye test and got contact lenses in an opticians in Nice a while back and there was no issue, barring a tricky conversation in our poor french and his poor english! I would daresay that if you're happy to pay up, they're happy to serve you.
