Calling all glasses-wearing Dilli-wallas

Where in Delhi can I get a goodeye test and where's a good, cheap place to get a nice pair of frameless glasses made up?

If it is at all like here, go to an eye-specialist doctor first for a thorough examination and check up. He will give you a prescription to take to a glasses shop.

The optician shops here just do a quick check for the prescription and that's ll.

Beebah,

I have used Lawrence & Mayo on Janpath for my contact lenses and glasses and they are very good, however, I am certain they are not the cheapest in Delhi but just my suggestion.

Cheap you can get everywhere. L&M, Dayal etc are the way expensive variety.

Here's what I use, FWIW:
Laxmi opticians (Karol bagh) - Damn sturdy specs, you need to bargain tho.
Vision Solutions (Malviya Nagar) - Good quality, and they *make* their own brand of lenses which are damn good (Used their lenses for three years!) They are more cost effective than laxmi and a jolly bunch too - mention me and you just might get some discount

I was pretty happy with Foursight Optical in Noida (Sector 18 near the Pizza Hut). I don't recall if they had an optometrist on staff but they did a great job filling my prescription. They were not exactly cheap though.

Medikos on Paharganj, great service and cheap eyeglasses, the test is free!

I agree..never ever go to an optician to get ur eyes checked.Once a news channel sent their correspondent [ 6/6 ] with a hidden camera.He was told by 2 famous delhi opticians to go in for a pair of glasses with number.Later when they busted these shops owners they went .

Get it checked from a eye doc.
