I always bring my prescription but can't fault GENC on one of the pedestrianised streets with the red "carpet"

I went and asked about eye tests in one of the Fethiye opticians yesterday.
They said that eye tests are carried out by Doctors, and that optician branches aren't allowed to do them.
He suggested the Esnaf.

I just need to check my prescription before ordering more contact lenses online.

So is this right, do I definitely need to go to a hospital to have them checked?

Yes.

There are a couple of "doctors" that do eye tests but I've found in the past that you get a far more accurate test and prescription from hospitals.

I cant buy my contact lenses on line now because its over a year since I had a check up in the UK. I told them I had an eye test in Turkey but they said this didnt count... I had an eye test in The UK... then still had to have a contact lense check up to qualify for buying on line. I didnt bother... I just buy them at the opticians now in Fethiye.... I will have a check up just to make sure my eyes are still healthy.

Discount lenses online US company don't even ask for prescription. I could just order another years supply, but have noticed my reading vision not so good so would rather get it adjusted.
You could try them Anne? Work out just over £10 a month, and that's for torics, so could be even cheaper...
