Question on buying spectacles

Posted by CLB on Thursday, 20. August 2009 at 13:14 Bali Time:

Ok I have been avoiding staring at the pages in my book that are starting to blur and I try not to read at night, when the light isn't so good..........It's time to face reality and get some reading glasses!

Do I need to get a prescription from home and take with me to Bali?
Or can I venture to one of those dreaded spectacle shops in Kuta and ask to have my eyes tested and then just buy them there?

So I am after those fellow travellers who have been wearing glasses for some time and can point me in the right direction please!
