Tourist purchase and appointment checklist: Prescription glasses
Tourists buying prescription glasses in Kathmandu can bring a foreign prescription for review at Vision Concern. Ask for a complete NPR quote covering the frame, lens pair, exact design, index, coating and fitting. Visitors from Thamel can use Lazimpat; visitors around Boudhanath can use Boudha-Tushal, with Makalbari serving Gokarneshwor.
Before you visit or order
- Send a readable prescription and a photo of your current glasses.
- Tell the team whether you need single-vision, progressive, bifocal or prescription sunglasses.
- Confirm the lens specification, fitting measurements, itemised total and collection date.
Travel deadline: Selected single-vision prescriptions may be ready the same day when suitable stock and workshop capacity are available. Progressive, high-index and custom branded lenses require a confirmed preparation time.
Collection and delivery: Discuss collection at the branch, local delivery or a later order before paying. Hotel delivery depends on the address, timing and branch confirmation; it is not automatic.
Can I use a foreign prescription for glasses in Kathmandu?
Bring or send the full prescription for review. The team can check whether the details are sufficient for the proposed lenses and whether a fresh examination is needed. Fitting measurements are still required for the selected frame and lens design.
Can tourists buy progressive glasses before a flight or trek?
Possibly, but custom progressive lenses are not automatically a same-day product. Give your departure date and ask for the exact design, supplier availability, fitting appointment and confirmed collection date before ordering.
How can I compare a Kathmandu glasses quote with one from home?
Compare the same frame, lens model, material or index, coating, quantity and fitting services. Include any delivery, exchange-rate or customs costs. A frame-only or single-lens price is not the same as a complete pair of glasses.
Visitor next steps
Progressive Glasses in Kathmandu
Progressive lenses combine distance, intermediate and near correction in one lens. Accurate prescription, fitting height, pupillary measurements and frame choice are important for good performance.
High-Index Thin Prescription Lenses
Patients with stronger prescriptions may benefit from high-index materials that can reduce lens thickness compared with some standard materials.
High-Index Ultra-Thin Lenses →
ZEISS & Premium Lens Options
Vision Concern provides selected premium prescription-lens options including ZEISS products according to prescription, visual requirements and availability.
Children's Prescription Glasses
Children's glasses require an accurate prescription together with a comfortable and appropriately sized frame. Children showing squinting, difficulty seeing the board or frequent headaches may benefit from professional vision assessment.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription sunglasses can be useful for travel, driving, trekking and outdoor activities. Suitable options depend on prescription and product availability.
Prescription Glasses Price in Kathmandu
Price varies according to prescription, frame, lens design, lens index, coating, brand and availability.
Send your prescription through WhatsApp for suitable options rather than relying on one fixed price for every prescription.
Same-Day Prescription Glasses
Selected standard prescriptions may sometimes be completed quickly when suitable lenses and frames are available. Complex progressive, high-index or customised lenses may require additional time.

How to compare power-glasses and lens prices in Nepal
Why do two power-glasses quotes have different prices?
The prescription, frame, lens design, index, coating, brand and quantity can differ. Ask each seller to identify the same specification and whether the amount covers one lens, a pair, or complete glasses. Compare the final itemised amount rather than a starting price alone.
Can Vision Concern quote lenses for my existing frame?
Bring the frame or send clear photographs with your prescription. The team needs to assess the frame condition, size and suitability before confirming whether new lenses can be fitted. Request a complete lens-and-fitting quote and collection date; reusing a frame is not automatically possible.
