Seems like the vast number of people in Thailand go into a Top Charoen or wherever and sit down for 3 minutes while the staff do a few simple tests to print out a prescription.  Assuming you don't have any complex issues, is this method practical?  I went into a local eye doctor to get a more thorough exam done and was told to just go into a store to have it done.

My best guess, it was one of the cheap chain stores, and no Dr. 

 

Where are you located? I got one store with an optician in Hua Hin, and also one in Pattaya who have done proper testing, and also have upto date equipment.

I go to hospital and have the Optomerist there exam my eyes and give me the prescrition.... then buy glasses from Zenni.

This is best practice. The highest quality and yet cheap.

 

The OP, if they're in Bangkok, should attend Rutnin Eye Hospital. They have a large area for eye examinations for a simple fee.

 

Then get the prescription and order it online with Zenni.

Thanks, will check it out.

Typically the chain stores, and some private, won't give you a prescription unless you agree to buy the glasses from them.

I have had multi-focal lenses for many years, one pair from KT Optic using Essilor lenses were almost Bht 30k. Then used the same prescription several times at Zenni. Having to always look out of the top part of the lenses to watch telly when in bed, or when driving,  I ordered some single long distance specs from Zenni. Absolutely perfect, and now I can do almost everything using just these, even read my phone.

I suspect some of the Chains say you need progressive lenses to get more money in.
