looking for a professional to examine my eyes to see if i need glasses - any suggestions in the Pattaya area?

I am not in Pattaya, but if you know there is nothing wrong with two of the most important organs in your body, you may only need the equivalent to an optician, to test your eyes. But if a real MD/physician has not looked inside your eyeballs and tested accurately for medical problems such as glaucoma in the last five years, I'd go to a good ophthalmologist MD specialist.

But beware! I went to an ophthalmologist MD specialist in Pattaya who told me that retinas were in imminent danger of tearing and have fixed right now. I declined and took a second opinion who said nothing wrong with retinas. But who was right? Maybe I should have taken another opinion! This all must be about 3 years ago and so far retinas have not torn tho sight has deteriorated but I suppose that's just old age!

When your arms are not long enough to hold the newspaper in a readable position - then you need glasses.

There are a dozen opticians in Pattaya - each with several branches - all with machines that are supposed to define your eyesight.

Unfortunately most of the assistants are not trained well enough to give you the correct lenses - they just know which are the most expensive frames.

Do NOT go to Beautiful Opticians - really poor.

Top Charoen are much better. And there are loads of others.

Euro Optic, ( think thats the name) on second road, just across from the Royal garden

PP - your avatar has improved immensely

Was Just having a laugh for a hour or so.

Only for the farsighted, Humph. For the nearsighted, it's time for glasses when you have to touch the newspaper to your nose!

Alright, so what sort of glasses for my mate who can't see it's his turn to buy a round?

Ones like the bottom of a beer bottle.

The best place to get your eyes examined is at Phyathai Hospital sriracha. Good equipment, same prices as Thais, and straight to the point.

Those would be "empty glasses" - placed in front of him when you order the next round for everyone else!
