Good afternoon Diane and welcome to the Absolute Spain Forum. I am not in our area but hopefully some of our other members will come forward with some helpful information.

Hi Diane welcome......if you are looking for an English speaking optician your best bet might be to visit the indoor shopping centre at Cartagena as I suspect you will find one in there ;-))

Another option could be a quick visit to Dos Mares.....there is an optician just inside the centre ;-))

If you wear contacts, Diane, and looking for replacements; tell me. I am too

Hey! Shame they don't have an ASDA here. Someday, Michael, someday!

Michael.....once you've had an annual check did you know you can order contact lenses online?

I tried it, honey! The complexity of doing so ... working my way through prescriptions that only an optician could understand, caused me to give up. It was awhile ago though ... and I only tried the once. Maybe worth another try

Cant even find an optician that speaks english. Dont need contacts, just ordinary glasses and really good check up.

Sorry my geography is nil so where is it you live? we have a spanish optician here on Camposol who speaks English and the eye test is first class.
