ToddinChonburi Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I did see the ell cheapo frames there, sorry not my style. I am only 49 and would like look that way not blind and 70 Lol Just having some fun here. You will pay more for thinner lenses, I see a Thai man walking on the beach every morning with those cheap glasses, his field of vision is such I bet he can not drive a car or motorbike. you buy cheap and your eyes will look very small or really big. LOL. I suppose the crossed eyed Thai girls to not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I pass many "Top" shops in Bangkok and have never seen a customer in one. Regarding frames turning green, I had a frame whose nosepieces had turned green. When I bought new tinted lenses for the frames here in Tokyo from Zoff Optical they changed the nosepieces free of charge and charged me $90 for the lenses. I like to have a pair of tinted glasses as well as my transitions glasses because the transitions lenses will not darken inside of my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
