Q: what do eye glasses cost in China
I want a spare pair of glasses, a good set. My last prescip cost $550 and my dog chewed them a couple of days later another $350. My insurance provider gave me a site for cheap glasses and I tried to order them,,, $62 including shipping,,, but they won't arrive before I leave, so I tried having them shipped to China,. for some reason the sale won't go through. I phoned them , the glasses come from China and they have no idea why I can't ship on line. What are bifocals worth in China?
I bought a pair of glasses with a titanum frame (my persciption is -13, - 12)
I paid 200 RMB. contacts cost me 100
You were robbed but that is the storey here in Beijing I was quoted over 400 rmb for mine ,however had to go to Nanchang on business got new pair for 85rmb that included a good eye test
Oh, man, holy cow. Most I ever payed was 150, including the eye exam.
thanks ,I'll get them there, I can buy 5 pairs at those prices.
I buy the indestructible type you know scratch resistant ultra-flex frame about 200 dollars if you want them to at least look ok though I do not know how much they cost in china that I would like to know but you could order them from the u.s. if you want. If any one does know how much my type cost in china please tell.
A decent pair should not cost more than 200 Yuan (including frame), Unless you go for name brands or designer pairs. I have found that the places inside the university campuses have reasonable prices and there is less chances of getting zipped( just because someone is a foreigner), since they cater to the students needs. The lenses for the glasses by themselves come pretty cheap. At one place inside our university, the highest pair of lenses(I used my old frame)cost 120 yuan with all the bells and wistle they had to offer.
