Can anyone suggest a good place in pattaya to get a good eye test and prescription for lenses.

 

I'm asking because I've given up on the usual 'chain shop' type of place.

Normally hospitals have eye clinics with qualified opthamologists and testing facilities and can provide you a prescription (and check for medical conditions) at very reasonable cost.  You can then get made from chain or much cheaper in most cases by using mail order from a place like Zenni.  If using mail order have doctor include   PD on your prescription (distance between eyes) as they sometimes do not bother) - you can do yourself however if need be.  

Euro Optic across the road from Royal Garden. Very professional.

And once you have the prescription, try a company like https://www.eyebuydirect.com

 

They are really inexpensive. Does not work for complicated prescriptions. But, for a single prescription, for distance or reading, they are outstanding. I have purchased lenses with frames from them for a little as $25. Forget the retailers. The markups are astonishing.
