In Reply to: Question on buying spectacles posted by CLB on Thursday, 20. August 2009 at 13:14 Bali Time:
a pair of magnifying specs from $2.00 shop, Red Dot or Crazy Clarks type of shops, even pharmacies do them now, although a little dearer than the discount shops.
You may find that these will do until you need precscription specs.
The real pain with getting specs when you've never had them is having them on hand and having to put them on for reading but not for anything else. I have 3 pairs laying around so that I can pop them off and on when I need them, can't wait til I get to the stage that I have to wear them all the time.
Husband and daughter have both had eye tests in Bali and purchased specs in Bali, no problems at all.
