Opticians in Goa

BuntyAurBubli · Feb 1st, 2006, 17:52

I'll be staying in Candolim toward the end of March. Does anyone have recommendations of good opticians within reasonably easy reach of here?

I'm looking for a good selection of frames, but more importantly, a better selection of lenses. (With a presription like mine, I tend to look like I'm wearing the bottoms of two Coke bottles, unless I go for the better lenses).

TIA

There's also Kohinoor, Agnelos and Hi-Tech in Margao. Go to the shops and they will give you a free eye test. Talk to them, have a good look at their range and check out their prices.
