Stocky Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I need some new glasses. I had my eyes tested whilst in the UK but didn't have time to get them made. In particular I need a pair of bifocals for distance and reading (I don't want varifocal lenses) additionally a pair of intermediate glasses for computer work. I have the prescription. Has anyone any recommendations for a good opticians in Hat Yai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Have you ever tried the progressive lens? They are great for computer use and I found them very easy to get used to. At about 3,000 baht mail order might be worth a try? As you have the prescription I would use mail order to obtain from Zenni or another such provider as have found costs in Thailand to be very high (very high markup and high pressure to buy most expensive). I have had delivery within a week here in Bangkok on four orders over the years as they are made/shipped from China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Progressive lens = Varifocal = no thanks. I want my computer glasses to be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post phuketsub Posted September 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2014 My vision problems are too complex for the chicks at places like Top Charoern to deal with. On my last checkup at PSU, Dr Mansing, one of the top retinologists in Thailand, recommended HadYai Eye Center as the top dispensing opthamologist in Haad Yai. 339 Supasarnrangsan Road, opposite KBank, right downtown Tel074-239516 It's open 9am-7pm M-F Sat: 9am-4pm; Sun 9-noon However the opthamologist's hours are 10-12 & 2.30pm-7pm M-F; Sat: 9-4; Sun 9-noon Dr Mansing once cancelled a trip to Bangkok once to perform an emergency operation called a 'dry vitrectomy' on me, thus saving my left eye. I definitely trust his advice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocky Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've still to go, I'm a terrible procrastinator. However as it happens I've a good stint of home leave coming up, so will get my eyes tested again and some new glasses sometime this month and will let you know how we get on at the HadYai Eye Center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
