Last Updated: July 2026 Reviewed By: GCC Medical Documentation Specialist

If you normally wear glasses, you can generally bring and wear them during your GAMCA/WAFID medical appointment. Wearing glasses does not mean you should attend without them. If your vision is assessed, the medical staff can evaluate your eyesight according to the applicable examination requirements.

Yes. If you regularly use prescription glasses, take them with you.

Can I Wear Contact Lenses?

If you use contact lenses, follow the instructions provided by the medical centre. If you are unsure, ask the centre before your appointment.

Is an Eye Test Part of GAMCA Medical?

The examinations performed can vary according to the applicable medical requirements. If vision assessment is required, the medical staff will provide the necessary instructions.

Should I Bring My Old Eye Prescription?

It can be useful to carry your current prescription or relevant eye-care documents if you have them, particularly if you have a known vision-related issue.

Quick Checklist

Bring your prescription glasses if you use them.
Carry relevant eye-care documents if applicable.
Follow the medical centre’s instructions.
