Glasses in Ubud

[Billt4SF]

Hi there guys and gals,

Just returned to bali after a 5- month hiatus back to the s**t-storm in Trumpland due to back problems. Second day back and I break my glasses. As I am an old goat I really need new ones. Any suggestions for opticians to use (or not use) in Ubud?

Thanks in advance.

- Bill

I've always used Optik Melawei...they are all over Indonesia and they do eyetests first to establish your lens needs.
I've just recently purchased a new pair because my 5 year old 'Silhouette' frame broke. Silhouette are those very fine frames you can hardly see.... and very bendy.
Not only did I get 'new' eyesite from the new spectacles... they welded my old ones for Rp200,000 and I still keep as spare.
Takes about a week for the lens to be ground and fitted into the selected frames....in Jakarta, I believe. They will even provide lens only if your frames are OK.
