Glasses

[pochinda]

Anyone who can recommend a good place to buy a pair of glasses in Chiang Mai?

Thanks!

Prescription or reading?

Prescription there's opticians everywhere... Charoen(?) seem to be on every street...

You can also get cheap-ish reading glasses in there of reasonable quality, or (what I like to use as 'disposables') 50-100 baht reading glasses from the vendor stalls that set up in the malls/supermarkets... I mostly buy mine when I go to Mae Sai...

I copied this from the above pinned list of topics.

I have been there several times with my wife. the last time I went he told me glasses for just walking around would be a waste of money as my eyes were still good in that respect.

He has been highly recommended by many people.

OPTOMETRY (vision care, frames and lenses)

Vision Center

Rajvitthi Rd. (near to the UN Irish Pub)

(not strictly in the medical arena but very highly rated for all aspects of eye exams and sensible costs of glasses and lenses)

That is on the same side of the street as the UN Irish Pup heading towards the moat.

I believe they are closed on Monday.

Agree with hellodolly, always used them, good service and speak good English.

Is he an Ophthalmologist, or just an eyeglass maker? I get my glasses online for about 350 thb, it's nice to know a good eye doctor, though.

I can't do the coordinate thing. But I can give some instructions that might help.

On the east side of the old city there is a Mikes Burgers on the corner of the outside of the moat cross the moat and go down about a 1/4 of a mile down the road on the right hand side of the street. If you do not cross the moat and go the other way you will be right in Warorot (china town) Market,
