spectacles and lenses

**eeeooo** · 13-09-12, 15:42

hi folks,

I need new lenses for my spectacles, and I wish to know if there is any optician you would recommend as particularly good.

I need graduated lenses, and form what I understand they must suit the indication of my optometrist, which means made specifically for me.

would you recommend a professional and reliable optician ?

I live in Jakarta Selatan, but willing to go to other areas in town if it is worth it -

thanks in advance, and hope this is useful for other people that need glasses

Optik Timur or Optik Melawai is good.

Was disappointed with the frame quality from Optik Tunggal.

Selatan... I'm sure you can find any Optik in Pondok Indah Mall or Plaza Senayan. As for which Optik, 15 years of wearing glasses/lenses and I've never noticed any difference between any of them.

I had my glasses made according to specifications /prescription of my oculist. Went to Optik Melawai in Kemang close to the Informa store. Had the glasses checked by my oculist on a recent trip to Germany and voila all is just fine. I don't think they are any different from what you're used to back home.

Well, maybe price-wise... I found mine to be way cheeper here.

Most top ranks optical shops: Melawai, Tunggal, Kasoem; those are easily to find in big malls. Yes, melawai in opposite starbucks kemang is also good. For lenses, i still fans to Essilor.

Essilor is a lenses brand. You just ask this product in optic. btw, Optic Seis also one of those big 5 optical shops. There are many smaller optical shops with cheaper price also at ITC malls, like Ambassador (ITC Kuningan), Mangga Dua; even u can ask for discount here. good luck!

thank you all ! I have visited a few of the listed shops, and none of them said they have the technology to make lenses like the ones I have - pls dont ask details, I do not have a clue -

apparently the technology is available in Singapore, India, Japan. Or indeed, back in Europe.

Hopefully Indonesia shall get such technology soon.
