 |
|
I don't know more than five words in Chinese yet, but I really need a pair of glasses. There is an optometrist a few doors down from me and I'm thinking of just going in and winging it. Does anyone have any advise? What might we expect glasses to cost in Taiwan?
thanks! |

If you dont have a prescription, they will do a quick test of the eyes, frames cost the most, so basic pair around the 3,000 mark, that is what i paid for mine, with discount.
so like anywhere its the frames and type you want which costs.
If your lucky they will speak english, if not take a friend:) or just point
HOw much = DOOR SOW (as in pig), say those words as in english and they will understand you are asking a price. |

| Just be careful if you have any kind of prescription that requires special lenses. Some shops desperate to make a sale will use the closest mass-produced lens they have in stock, instead of ordering your exact needs, even if the eye test says differently. |
