Oooow, me bad eyes

Four months on and Phil and I have still got the smae contacts in that we started this trip with. Remember, we started with nothing at all, and in seriousness of not taking anything at all with us incase of emerencies or unexpected, or expected eventualities, we didn't take spare contact lenses with us. Luckily, we both prepared for our situation of not being able to get cleaning solution etc by having day and night contacts, great time and hygiene saving devices that never need to be removed before bed.
Off to the opticians we pop. Laubman and Pank in Darwin and talk to a guy named Graham Bailey. All we need is a prescription and then we'll be be able to fit you with contacts. Ah....here lies the problem. We not only do not have prescriptions but we cannot pay for an eye test and neither can we wait patiently for weeks until an appointment become free.
In true Australian style he replies "No worries mate." then books us in for a special appointment for free and fits us with three months worth of lenses, cleaning solution and cases.
The peace of mind after geting the all clear from the over use of contact lenses lifted a heavy worry and we were feeling fresh as newborns with our new eyes.

Thank you so much for helping us whinging poms get newly clear vision!

Much appreciation to Phuong Truong at Laubman and Pank
