Scenario 1: Lost or broken glasses

Walk in with your old prescription (if you have it) or get a fresh exam. In-stock frames + standard lenses can be ready same-day. Total cost typically 800k–2M IDR for a usable replacement pair.

Scenario 2: Salt water and sun irritation

Common after a few days of beach/sea exposure. Symptoms: redness, gritty feeling, mild discomfort. Often resolves with artificial tears (200–400k IDR for a bottle of preservative-free drops). If symptoms persist 5+ days, get an exam to rule out infection or corneal abrasion.

Scenario 3: Conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Highly contagious viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms: redness, discharge, sticky eyelids in the morning, sometimes itching. Get diagnosis at the clinic — viral cases need supportive care only, bacterial needs antibiotic drops. Avoid spreading: wash hands frequently, don't share towels, wash pillowcases.

Scenario 4: Snorkeling/diving mask squeeze

Symptoms: redness around eyes, tiny broken blood vessels in the whites, mild bruising. Usually resolves on its own in 1–2 weeks. If vision is affected or pain is significant, get assessment to rule out more serious damage.

Scenario 5: Foreign body in eye

Small debris (sand, eyelash, plant fragment) that won't flush out with saline. The clinic can remove safely with proper equipment under magnification. Don't try to remove embedded foreign bodies yourself — risk of corneal scratch.

For divers, the clinic offers:

• Pre-trip dive medical exam for vision-related fitness (700,000–1,200,000 IDR).
• Mask prescription consultation — recommendation on prescription dive mask vs. contacts under standard mask.
• Contact lens advice for diving — soft daily disposables generally fine; some risk of loss if mask floods.
• Post-dive eye assessment — for any symptoms after dive.

Compared to international prices:

• Eye exam: 250,000 IDR (~16 USD) vs. 80–200 USD in US.
• Prescription glasses (mid-range): 1,500,000 IDR (~95 USD) vs. 250–600 USD in US.
• Monthly contact lenses (6-pack): 700,000 IDR (~45 USD) vs. 80–150 USD in US.
• Eye infection treatment: 400,000 IDR (~25 USD) vs. 150–300 USD in US.

For travelers with overdue eye exams or worn-out glasses, getting eye care done in Lombok during a longer trip can be substantially cheaper than waiting until home.

Visit Lombok Eye Clinic for any tourist eye issue beyond minor irritation that resolves with artificial tears.

Skip for major eye surgery — those cases need Bali or Singapore-tier ophthalmology specialists.
