Een nieuwe bril nodig? On our last three vists to Burma we have spent the first day in Yangon at the English Optical Shop, where we both, (mijn man en ik) ordered new glasses. Multi-focals and perscription sunglasses (zonnebril op sterkte).
The first time after arriving back in the Netherlands we took them to an optician to ask his reaction on the quality. While the lens is not the newest and highest qulaity that they currently use here, it is the qulaity which they used a couple of years ago. The optician said they were perfectly made with French lenses.
This year we ordered two multi-focal and a zonnbril for my man, and a multi-focal en zonnebril for myself. 5 pairs in total. Upon our return to Yangon three weeks later our glasses were waiting for us at a grand total of US$ 350!
So if you need new glasses or sunglasses and are in Yangon, pay a visit to The English Optical House, behind Scot's Market and tell him that Elaine sent you, he is proud to think that he is being talked about outside of Yangon.
