Good luck with that. I ended up getting an incorrect pescription because the guy forgot all the English he learned when I entered the office. It's funny yet I just take it in stride. Only use in an emergency {hurts my eyes too strong}.

Hey, can you go to Hong Kong? I know an uncle there who has a optic shop maybe he can help.

I am looking for an English speaking western trained optician in the expat community.  It is essential I find an eye specialist with a good medical background.  If anyone can help that would be awesome!  Thanks.

Thanks for the post! :)   Are you located in Shenzhen?  If so can I have your address?  I am seeking a western trained optician as I have some health conditions that affect my sight and need to have regular appointments.  Are you willing to share where you received your training and education?  Thanks.

Hi,

My wife is a qualify optician whom received her degree in a optometry school in USA, however due to the medical system in Asia we're still struggling to find a hospital/clinic where she can practice...

Anyone know where we should start either in Hong Kong or ShenZhen ?

Thanks

She can try to check with Shenzhen Binhai Hospital (Hospital of University of Hongkong) in Nanshan.
