Buying contact lens
Today, I went to the Wal-Mart because I want to buy the contact lens. I told the lady what I want, but she told me that I need to have a prescription from my doctor. I told her I am international student here, so I don’t have my doctor. I ask her can I exam here? She said, “yes,we have doctor in next store can help you to exam, but it takes about $120 if you don’t have insurance. Then I asked her can I get prescription from my country? She was really a nice person that I can feel she was really want to help me. Because she said I can try to get Prescription then bring or fax to her. But she isn’t sure that there is no differences between Taiwan’s prescription and United State’s prescription, also she isn’t sure that she can read it or not.
Although I can’t get the contact lens finally, I think it is a special experience. Because in Taiwan we can buy contact lens without prescription, now I know another different thing between Taiwan and U.S.
