In Reply to: Question on buying spectacles posted by CLB on Thursday, 20. August 2009 at 13:14 Bali Time:
I have just come back, and had a pair of glasses here for distance, that I took the script with me to Bali, wanting to get the same script with sunglasses.
I went to the 2 shops opposite Mataharri, and 2 shops in Centre. I was surprised at the difference in price, most only quoted for the lenses only. opposite Mataharra, from 195,000rp to 250,000rp, but in Centro they started at 550,000rp to 950,000rp!! I asked for the same thing at all shops..
I ended up going with a friend and got some from Denpasar, but roughly same price of the ones opposite Mataharri Kuta, except I got some plastic frames, to look like sunnies for 130,000rp added to the cost. So, I'm happy, just do price around, because it's quite a difference.
