Gone Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Second hand reading glasses? Unless you want to buy them for donation purpose I would NOT recommend that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The ones sold on market stalls and by street vender's are new not secondhand, and cheap. They are basic focal correction and are not made to prescription, prescription lenses are more complex in manufacture, therefore buying second hand prescription lenses would be a very stupid thing to do as it is highly unlikely the seller would be able to check the exact prescription of the lenses he was selling and match your required prescription, and in a style you like.

Gone Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Timekeeper trust me I bought those for several years because they are cheap. They are just plastic. Do yourself a favor if they are for you and buy real ones. Like I said if you are buying them to donate to a cause then sure they would be welcome.

Gone read again what the OP wants better still, i will tell you he wants second hand eye glasses, he wants to know where he might buy them locally, that's it. end of. he does not need anyone to nanny him about the pros and cons of buying them nor do i, save your advise for someone who wants it.........

deejah Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 someone did mention that they are not used but simply cheap and plastic so thanks for that i have seen cheap sellers all over thailand but usually at temporary fairs so where else to go looking and find them new used or otherwise thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
