lopburi3 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 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'.

lopburi3 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Google translates as "progressive" which is a valid type of lens for glasses. https://www.google.com/search?q=progressive+lens&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&gws_rd=ssl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
