If you are travelling in Nepal and need an eye exam, replacement glasses or contact-lens help, a few details sent in advance can save valuable time. This practical checklist is designed for tourists, expats and digital nomads who need clear, professional support in Kathmandu.
Need help soon? Send the information below on WhatsApp: +9779841466716. For full services and branch details, visit our eye care for tourists and expats in Kathmandu page.
Need help before your visit? WhatsApp +9779841466716 or call +9779841466716 for branch guidance and appointment support.
1. Your current prescription
Send a clear photo or PDF of your latest spectacle or contact-lens prescription. If you do not have it, say when your last eye examination was and describe any changes you have noticed. A new professional eye examination may still be recommended.
2. Photos of your current glasses
Photograph the front, both sides, any markings on the arms and the damaged area. If the frame is broken, keep every piece. These photos help the optical team understand whether a repair, lens transfer or replacement may be practical.

3. Your symptoms and urgency
Explain whether the problem is blurred vision, discomfort, a broken frame, lost glasses or contact-lens difficulty. Mention when it started. Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, chemical exposure or eye injury should be treated as urgent and may require immediate medical assessment.
4. Your location and travel schedule
Send your hotel or neighbourhood, preferred branch and departure date. Vision Concern serves Boudha-Tushal, Lazimpat and Makalbari. Same-day glasses may be possible for selected prescriptions and in-stock lenses, but timing must be confirmed after assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I send before visiting an optician in Kathmandu?
It helps to send a clear photo or PDF of your current prescription (or note when you last had an eye exam), photos of your current glasses if damaged, a description of your symptoms and urgency, and your location, preferred branch and travel dates.
Can I get my glasses fixed or replaced the same day?
Same-day glasses may be possible for selected prescriptions with in-stock lenses, but timing must be confirmed after assessment.
What counts as urgent and needs immediate attention?
Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, chemical exposure or eye injury should be treated as urgent and may require immediate medical assessment rather than a routine optical visit.
How do I contact Vision Concern before my visit?
You can WhatsApp or call +9779841466716 for branch guidance and appointment support at the Boudha-Tushal, Lazimpat or Makalbari locations.
