I am looking for the above and searched through the forum quite a bit.

Two or three threads I found were quite old and the recommended places were something like this.

 

For eye examination

Rutnin Eye Institute at Asoke

TRSC International LASIK Center

Dr. Paradon at St Louis hospital in Surasak

 

For the glasses

Nice Optic at Siam Square

 

Are these still valid, or are there any new recommendations?

Thank you.

 

 

Yes, Rutnin is still the best place for eye examination.
You can have the glasses made at Top Charoen.

 

Most people get prescription and then order from Zenni Optical as savings are considerable and quality will be just as good or better.  If using Rutnin for exam and do not want to mail order expect would try the facility on first floor of Rutnin.

I'm with lopburi3 on this...do an eye exam at Rutnin then copy the prescription details on the Zenni internet order form, the frame prices are way cheaper than any you would find in Thailand...delivery in under 2 weeks from Hong Kong...includes progressive lenses, etc...

 

you also get to talk to an opthalmologist at Rutnin about any specific probs you may have...diabetes, cataracts, etc...
