Prescription glasses
 
It seems to be cheaper to have prescription glasses made up almost anywhere in the world except the UK. Has anyone bought them in Portugal? Does anyone wish to share glasses shopping tips?

I just got three pairs from Thailand. That was the same price I would have payed for one pair at home. If I cannot go to Thailand, I get them from Estonia. Two pairs with a price of one.

I brought my prescription and in one full day, had them made in Venice. Total price was about 150 Euro with very cool frames. This place has a web site and you can order from overseas using it. If anyone is interested, I will look it up and post it.

The place I got my glases is: www.otticacarraro.it.
Not far from Rialto. They say on the web site that the glasses cost half what they do in the UK.

Any suggestions in places to buy unusual frames in Munich?
