Cheap reading glasses
Any suggestions for where to buy cheap 'off the shelf' reading glasses?
I've tried a few chemists, no luck. I'm sure I've seen them before somewhere, supermarket, China Bazaar etc.
Any opticians, pref E side, Karakum, Catalkoy etc.
Thanks in advance.

Cafe Boss down the side road next to HSBC bank in Girne also sell reading glasses and sunglasses.

I second Mr Pound - bought a pair from our chemist for 10TL then found out that the same pair were 5TL in Mr Pound, including a soft case.

Mr Pound. They don't stand up to rough handling so best buying a couple of pairs, one for your handbag and one pair at home.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Re: Cheap reading glasses
From Girne go west towards Lapta .. Straight on at the market roundabout, you will see Mr Pound on the right hand side ..Royalcorpsoftranspor wrote:Where is Mr Pound now.harita wrote:Mr Pound .. 5TL
At the next roundabout come back on yourself & Mr Pound is then on your left ..
After you have done the "U" turn at the roundabout turn left at the 1st road, then immediately right, you can then park & go into Mr Pound at the rear entrance ..

Re: Cheap reading glasses
Definitely Mr Pound, and also not just once. They change their stock periodically, so sometimes they are just ordinary glasses on a rack, sometimes super duper colourful ones in boxes, etc etc. Over the years I have a collection (while they last) and have them in everyroom, handbag etc, etc. I confess to buying more expensive in the past (Boots inU.K) but the ones at Mr Pound are good, especially as one's eyesight fails and one needs to go up from a 1 to a 2 etc.

Re: Cheap reading glasses
I too buy them from the £ shop, in the UK though. Like Marion I have them everywhere.I would never dream of buying posh ones, as long as I can see to read.

Re: Cheap reading glasses
Buy half a dozen or so from MR P and have dotted around place, in car etc. BUT be bit choosy, even in MR P some are better quality than others.
