Can't you just call your Dr and have them renew it so you can go locally and get it? Just make an appointment and tell them you are in FLA and are in need, it is an emergency

I called...doesn't want to do it without a visit... :-(

Why don't you just go down to the supermarket and get yourself some coke bottles?

Francois,

You might want to try an optometrist's office in the area. If you physically drop in they might give you a trial lens from their stock if you plead your case well enough. I do it all the time for summer travellers up here but maybe I'm just a soft touch. Make sure you bring in your prescription or the box that the contact came in so they know exactly what you need (they are less likely to trust your memory despite your genius status around here).

Wish I could help out but BC is a long way from Fla. Good luck.

Francois:

Send a PM to FlaJill. She seems to know the area pretty well and may know someone. There is an opthalmologist on Hwy 98 in the professional building just east of Sandestin.

Alas, eye doc isn't an area I can really offer a rec. I used to just hit my old eye doctor in Michigan when I was up there because I'd been with him for 25+ years, and he really knew what was going on with my weird and severe vision problems. Unfortunately, he retired last spring, and I'm now looking for someone down here myself.

If you don't need anything fancy, there's a Lenscrafters near Ft. Walton Beach in Mary Esther over by Santa Rosa Mall, a Perle Vision in Destin at the intersection of US 98 and Danny Wuerffel, (the street, not the football player) and another Perle Vision somewhere over by Panama City Mall.

will try that...and someone offered to bring a disposable one...so I should be fine.
thanks all.
you really can get anything you want here...contacts with no prescription, drugs with no prescription (email desert_dude...hehehe...although his comp. doesn't make epo I think...), how to fix the AC, how to get a green card...

ST should replace wikipedia

O-p-h-t-h-a-l-m-o-l-o-g-i-s-t.......
Just a pet peeve.

hmmm...not sure why there would be an H after the t...it's obviously the same etymology in french and english...yet there is no second h in english...anyway...point taken. thanks.

I remember a time when you were glad I could get you a prescription for some good stuff without an official Dr. visit!
