Reading glasses cheap?
Hi all,
The "new suit" question got me thinking. The last time I was in Singapore I got several pairs of prescription bifocal glasses for about $US30 each and they had them ready overnight. What's it like in HKT or BKK for glasses? And I don't mean beer glasses, OK??

I just bought a pair of glasses in Chiang Mai.
0.75 on 1 eye and 0.50 on the other. The frame is a Armani and I paid 6000 bath for them. That is about 1/3 of the price for the same glasses in DK so not bad at all.. I went to "Top Charodan optics" or something like that

Didn't find LOS that cheap, though I don't use bifocals.
Currently use www.goggles4u.com (based in Pakistan) for my glasses - dirt cheap and quick!

Wow, thanks Torn, I just ordered a pair of varifocals (no line) for 62-bucks. I priced them here a few weeks back and they were $260. Can't wait to see them. If they are any good I'll order a couple more pairs and some tinted ones too. Damn, that IS good. Girlfriend here just paid $300 for some single vision ones and a nothing special frame. Thanks a lot that is a very  deal !

Cheap readers
If you know your eye sight perscription then you can even buy cheap glasses off the street vendors in Bangla and other places.A set with a case will cost about 300 Baht.These are good to carry around at night so you don't lose expensive ones.

Dave No problem - in the past it's taken them around a week to deliver to the UK. Another good site for glasses is www.optical4less.com , quite a bit more expensive that the other one but they have a better choice of frames e.g. hingless, rimless titanium etc.
