Can I replace broken glasses near Thamel on the same day?
Often, yes. The Lazimpat branch near Thamel can check your prescription, assess the frame and confirm whether same-day replacement is possible. Completion time depends on your prescription, lens design, coating and current stock. Bring your damaged glasses or an existing prescription for faster assessment.

Vision Concern’s Boudha-Tushal branch is opposite KFC near Boudhanath. Call 01-4562303 for urgent frame repair, replacement glasses, prescription verification or contact-lens assistance.

The standard eye-check fee is NPR 400. Additional specialist tests or procedures may have separate charges, which the clinic will explain before proceeding.
Do I need an appointment for urgent optical help?
Walk-ins can be assisted subject to availability, but calling the nearest branch or using WhatsApp first is recommended for urgent requests. For a planned comprehensive examination, see the Saturday comprehensive eye-checkup service.

Yes. Many visitors, particularly from Bangladesh and West Bengal (Kolkata), come to Nepal for cataract, retina, or other eye surgery at a hospital and also want new glasses, a general eye exam, or contact lenses at the same time, before or after their procedure. Vision Concern is an optical and eye-examination clinic, not a surgical hospital, so we work alongside hospitals such as Tilganga: we are happy to see you for glasses, contact lenses, or a routine check-up either side of your surgical treatment elsewhere.
No conversion is needed. Eyeglass prescriptions from Germany, France, the UK, the USA, China, Russia, and almost every other country use the same international format, SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), and AXIS, measured in diopters. Our opticians read this directly, so you can bring your prescription paper, a photo of it on your phone, or simply your current glasses, and we will use the same values. If your prescription is more than a year or two old, we recommend a quick, free re-check before we make your new pair.
Yes. Above roughly 3,000 metres, UV exposure increases sharply because of the thinner atmosphere and reflection off snow, and ordinary sunglasses (category 2-3) do not block enough UV to prevent snow blindness (photokeratitis). We recommend glacier glasses or category-4 sunglasses with side shields, and can fit these with your own prescription if needed. Vision Concern offers ZEISS polarized, UV400-certified sunglasses with prescription lenses, which we can prepare before you set off on your trek.
