I've tried several times to locate a post I remember reading several? months ago regarding spectacles and Thai Opticians, Optometrists et al. The specific post gave details of a Lazada purchase of a kit, which I've also been unable to find on Lazada, whereby one could try different 'strength' lenses in the supplied eye piece frame until it was just right.  The poster then went on to say he had also bought a different, wider, eyepiece frame as the one supplied was too narrow for his face/ head. He then bought his spectacles from Zizzi? based on his own results with the kit and is very happy with the finished spectacles. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful. Thanks.

Maybe search using Google, it's better than the search here

I understand this post is about the search.

Apart from that, why don't you visit a real optician in the real world? Let him check your eyes and build the perfect glasses for you. 

The search here as of a few months ago works really well. I also think you are referring to "Zenni" the online store for glasses.

Thanks guys.
'One more Farang'...yes, it was partly about the search both on this site and on Lazada, but what I was hoping for was the actual post  info, or indeed a link to the actual post regarding the 'equipment' where the poster bought it, and his assessment of it. Further, I have visited a 'real' optician in Vietnam and more recently here in Thailand within the last 12 months and the results, let me be kind here, have failed to meet my needs. In short.......they were, oh, what's a common British adjective for 'not very good?' Begins with the letter C and ends in the letter P.
'Charlie H' so my memory was at fault...'Zenni' it is, thanks for that. But they make the spectacles to an instruction and I want to be able to give them that instruction....hence the search for the post which described buying the  self testing/prescribing kit on Lazada. Thanks for your response....I had a feeling that you were the poster I was searching for...obviously I was wrong!
'Scubascuba3', thanks for your input but it was the specific post I was trying to find. rather than a more general search.
Is anyone else able to throw  light on the post I'm searching for?
With hope, thanks in advance.

The post I was searching for was by 'Crossy' in August last year. I found it but have lost it again, and can't remember the title. My memory at fault....he bought the 'kit' from Ali Express not Lazada...that's where he bought the wider frame thingys from.
I'll find it again I'm sure, but in the meantime my thanks to those who responded.
