Eye Doctors　　(ganka – 眼科)

Toyama City

EYEX is in the 3F of the Shopping Complex (just underneath NOVA English Conversation School) near to the German Bakery in Nishi Cho. An eye test costs around 2,000yen, where you look at the Eye Chart, and an Optician inspects your eyes. They are very professional, and make you feel at ease, even though you must wait to see someone for what feels like ages.....The sales staff are very thorough when helping you to decide which contact lenses and solution are best for you. And since I have been going there, I discovered they have an English guide that the sales staff will take you through step by step.
