We had glasses made in Hong Kong on the WC. They were much less expensive than at home, but not a huge bargain. It seemed like in general, things were less expensive in Shanghai than in Hong Kong.

We'll be in Shanghai again on Panda. Can anyone recommend a good place to have prescription glasses made in Shanghai?

Yes, yes. I understand. Here we are spending a fortune on the trip, and want to save a couple hundred dollars on glasses! But as I know you all appreciate -- that couple hundred dollars will pay for a great excursion on the NEXT trip!

Thanks!

Hi Betty,

The only eyeglass place I know about is the one in HK where some of the staff goes. It is mentioned in Carole Klein's information. If you don't have her handout, I do and can send you the name.

I've never been so can't speak from experience.

Thanks, Peggy!

I'd be happy to have that name. While the one we used was fine, it was not a huge saving. I know there are better!

If you would prefer, email me privately.

Hi Betty,

I did just that!

Peggy :)

We have successfully used the eyeglass place at the Peninsula in Hong Kong (the one on the second floor). I also would be interested in knowing if there's considerable savings on doing the same thing in Shanghai or Beijing.
