osmar Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can anyone recommend an Optician anywhere on the island? I am wanting standard frames not so called "designer label". Thanks. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You can't find an optometrist in Phuket? You obviously need glasses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I recently had a very thorough eye examination at Phuket International Hospital. It was actually to measure my suitability for Lasik but they also do standard work as well. Very impressed with the care and modern equipment... 1000thb.

amyb Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I just had an exam and bought two pairs of glasses from the branch of Top Charoen Optical in the Villa Market/Home Pro complex in Chalong. Fantastic staff, spot on eye exam, and two pairs of new glasses for a total of 7000 THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkg Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Somsak Optic in Phuket Town is the best place I've found - cheap and good quality. Mr Somsak speaks excellent English and seems very knowledgable. There was a thread about him before: http://www.thaivisa....ptic-top-bloke/ Edited June 27, 2012 by nkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any main street optician will give you a free eye test with modern equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britpop Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi, for designer original frames at bargain prices check out www.hippozaa.com, someone recommended them, i thought oh yeh, have to be fakes, but ordered a pair of Hugo boss frames at 1100baht instead of 7000baht, took them to a opticians right at the back of Tesco lotus mall, to the right of homepro's opening, they confirmed they where the real deal and they fitted anti scratch bi-focal with a tint lenses for about 1200baht, for some reason can't use progressive lenses, but all round big savings. worth a look!!!!

KarenBravo Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I had lens replacement at Bangkok Hospital Phuket and threw all my glasses away. Lasts for life and I have my 20/20 vision back. Best money I've ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Washington Optic in Rassada Road Phuket Town are brilliant. Faultless quality, service and price. I second that. Used Washington Optics for many many years. And for visiting family and friends. Always good service and sensible price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
