I went to an optician in Central and was quoted 20k for a pair. These were pretty high end and with specifically produced lenses. Is there anywhere that do "corrected" over the counter sunglasses for a tad less? My left and right eye correction is different but I can get away with -1 for each.

If you know your prescription and pupillary distance, you can order a cheap custom pair from Zenni online.

 

They are having a 20% off sale right now.

 

My glasses have always arrived in about 10 days (from China) via HKK Post, and I've never paid duty.  

 

The optics in Zenni specs are very good, but some frames are flimsy.  Check out customer reviews.

 

Hope this helps.

 

BTW, if you know your eye rx, but don't know your pupillary distance (PD), there is literally an app for that!  Actually several PD apps are out there.

do they have any "industrial"  strength built frame that will last ?

 

or real rubbery plastic ?

 

regular cheap reading glasses frames are too brittle

Thanks for that mate. Just ordered a pair

Try Vision Centre, about 8k for a decent pair that I've worn daily for three years now:

 

 

If your hat size is 7 3/8 or larger; the Thai places won't have correct width, temple length, or nose bridge....I,he been a zenni customer for 10 years...delivery here is fine..paid about 33 USD for two pairs of glasses, one tinted , both with anti scratch coating..delivered.

So if I go to Rutnin  eye hospital and have an eye test , they will give me an eyeglass prescription and pupillary distance so I can order from Zenni ?

 

thanks 

 

Another thumbs up for Vision Center from me.  I got a pair of RayBan dark glasses with prescription for 6,100 thb last year.  RayBan or Vision Center was having a sale.
