Best Place For Getting Fited Glasses In Cm?

[meithai]

Hi, Does anybody have any advice or experiences of purchashing glasses here in CM?

I'm thinking about varifocals - old aged short sightedness with clear long vison specs. What would be the approximate cost?... any advice or recommendations much appreciated.

Place just before the Irish Pub on Ratwithi does a fair job.

When I first got glasses, I went to Chakksu Pattana Clinic - behind that new French restaurant on Rajwithi Road - and ordered some very good, Hoya, non-scratch lenses. They knew that it was my first set of glasses. Within a month the lenses had scratches all over them, even though I had treated then gently and cleaned them only in mild soap and water. When I went back to the Chaksu Pattana clinic and asked what was wrong, they told me that I had cleaned them with Ajax - that it was my fault - screamed at me and threw me out.

A friend recommended the Charoen Suk Optician Shop at 281 Thapae Road - one shop down from Art Cafe on Thapae Road -and when she saw the lenses, she told me that they were the cheapest lenses possible, not Hoya and not non-scratch and I had paid much more than they were worth. She also explained Hoya's color code system for different types of lenses and sent me to the main office to confirm what she had told me.

I went to Hoya and everything she had told me was correct.

I have bought all of my glasses from Charoen Suk Optician ever sense and always been happy.
