Can you get contact lens solution in Moroccan pharmacies?

Yes, you can buy contact lens solution in Moroccan pharmacies and opticians in the cities, though brands may differ from home and it can be pricier, so many lens wearers bring enough for the trip plus a spare. Pharmacies are plentiful and well stocked in urban areas.

In Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca and other towns, an optician or larger pharmacy will have multipurpose solution; in small villages and the desert, stock is limited or absent. Bring your own supply if you’re heading somewhere remote.

It’s wise to travel with spare lenses and a pair of glasses too, given the dust and sun, which can irritate eyes. For a city-based trip, though, topping up solution locally is easy.
