contact lenses help needed ?

[MONKEY01 2]

First of all happy x-mas

Can someone please recomend the cheapest place I can buy contact lenses in pattaya.

I am slightly short sighted [smiley=Eyecrazy.gif] and the lenses are stocked in most shops. I am in pattaya from the 29th so there is a couple of drinks  [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]for whoever finds me the cheapest

On a similar theme.

 

Past employer paid to have my eyes tested 3 years ago.

 

Bird at "eye clinic" opticians did the full test?? Had to look into some sort of machine thing and had some sort of liquid shit squirted into the old eyes.

 

End result vision very slightly deteriorated not worth bothering with glasses then etc. as no benefit would be gained.

 

But now vision obviously starting to deterioarite to me.

 

Fucking clueless on glasses etc.

 

Is it worth having eye test done in Pattaya and buying gigs over there?  ???

 

Basically is it same standard as U.K. and more important cheaper.  8)

 

I am long sighted?  (As in the farther away it is the better I can see it  ???) Think thats the way it works.

 

Basically I can see things clearly that are a long way off but small print close up? Fucked.

 

So the closer I stand to the mirror the better looking I get.  8)

 

This is backed up by all the  BG's in Pattaya who always yell at me

 

"Handsome sexy man you sit bar"? Bet not many have heard that one before?  

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I get all my contact lenses from Thailand (either BKK or Pattaya).

In Pattaya I use the opticians in the Royel Garden Mall (ground floor LHS as you come in from 2nd rd.) They may not be the cheapest but they are convenient for me and you are only talking a difference of a 100bt for a months supply.

I use the disposable throw away ones. There are normally two well known manufacturers and both are ok for my eyes (I have a low prescription). I choose whichever is in stock.

The eye test in the UK uses a different definition of blindness than Thailand & you may end up with the wrong lenses. It's better just to let them test you over here if all you are looking for is a sight test and not a full eye health check (altho' I have every confidence that they could do that for you as well).

Health care for foreigners over here is much better than the UK in my opinion.

MONKEY01,

 

Tescos (seriously!) on Sukhumvit Road has an in-house opticians.  Excellent prices and service.  Computer testing done on site or bring your own script from UK.
