Thank you.

Will check it out

I use Boonteng as well, good for popping into the pub after, as well

Believe you are asking about ophthalmic opticians rather than those that grind lens. This is a new profession in Thailand so there are very few as only a degree program for lest two decades. Most proscriptions and exams are done by MD's (Ophthalmologist) here.

Sorry, I'm German and looked up 'Brillengeschäft'.

Yes, I need custom made glasses.

Maybe someone can tell me the English word for 'Gleitsichtglaeser'.

Thanks

Google translates as "progressive" which is a valid type of lens for glasses.
