Hey there! I have a teammate moving here in August and he was asking if gas permeable contact lenses are available in Phnom Penh. Anybody have any clue if they're here and where someone could find some?

Thanks!
Jon

A few years ago, I tried to get contacts in Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh. and even in Thailand. I used Toric lenses, and not only could I NOT find them anywhere, some places didn't even know what toric lenses were for. You may have to order them from Canada, but you need to know all the information ( diameter, etc) for the prescription.
Good Luck - I ended up switching to standard glasses - much easier, and cheaper to find.
