sharktooth Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 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.

Simbaya Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) 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.

hml367 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
