Looking for a good,reasonably priced opticians to get my eyes re-tested and prescription glasses and sunnies made.
-
there is an opticians by the new hospital in calis
a few in fethiye.
its cheaper here for eye tests and making up glasses
designer one expensive.
-
Cem optics are excellent, far more thorough testing than in England, one in Fethiye also one in Hisaranou, they take you to optician then glasses ready in sometimes a day and far cheaper than England
-
After nearly 6 years in Turkey and relying on their eye care treatment I would definitely say 2nd rate.
Eye test in Uk now range from £12-~~£20 by qualified opticians and glasses range from £65 varifocal or many offers 2 for 1 some including sunglasses.
We have purchased glasses from Cem optic (one of the better ones) 2 from fethiye opticians and 2 from Hisaronu opticians, out of 5 opticians Cem comes top, but still not upto UK standards.
-
Got to agree with Loz get eyes tested in UK and bring your prescription over with you, eye test over here are not as good as in UK, cant fault quality of specs just the test. 8)

Tony good eye clinic highley recommended, my next door neighbour went and he was very impressed, saved him a trip back to England. The clinic is called Kartalgoz and is located in Karaculha just outside Fethiye. If you go on the Antalya Road from Fethiye the clinic is about 1km past Tespo.
The Opthamologist is a really nice guy called Sebahattin Bozkurt and comes recommended. The Kartal clinic has a website at www.kartalgoz.com
If you need an eye test then this is the place to go. There are 3 opticians next door and apparently you can get new specs for 50 lira. I think you may have to make an appointment but it will tell u on the website.

I always take my UK prescription with me as I just find it easier, and I have had specs from opticians in Fethiye which have been very good, I can picture Cem Optic shop but not where it actually is, can someone just tell me and I may pop in there next when I am over.
Thanks

the kent optic shop opposite esnaf hospital (where the chemist used to be) is great and so is the eye dr in the esnaf,they will take you there for the eye test or they can make your glasses from your english prescription, i think they are one of the only opticians in fethiye to make glasses on site,kent optic also has shops in Karaculha next to the eye clinic and 2 in olu deniz one of them being called olu deniz optic

How do the price of the glasses compare in turkey compared to the UK and is the quality and choice comparable? Just had mine tested today and finally found out I need reading glasses :-\
-
i got 2 pairs of specs today for £99 not bad, from specsavers
-
it is cheaper here if you want good quality
reading lenses are usually about £3o and the final price depends on the frames that you buy
-
I have just got back from Calis, had my eyes tested in Fethiye, I agree that the test is not as comprehensive as one done in the uk. Bought reading gleasses with organic, reactalite lenses, with designer frames for 250 lira. Used Esme opticians, who took me for the eye test.
-
the price is also on type of lenses wanted
-
I know the subject was about a good opticians but i had to share this, i had my eyes tested this week and i think my age is catching up with me as i now have to wear glasses! I did choose a lovely Rayban pair out of boots but they and the lenses set me back £175!! but then i got double points ;-) so i was happy! Have a good weekend all xx
-
ooh sorry and meant to say my parents get their glasses from an opticians in Hisaronu, im not sure of the name, but its the one next to the 'H bar' which is new this year and opposite Booty. They have always been happy there x
-
My Missus just had a pair from Star Optik in Olu - she had new Specsavers glasses a couple of months ago but has always had trouble with them despite 3 new eye tests in Uk to attempt to sort it. She was taken to the Eye doctor in the side road that Sultans Patisserie is on in Fethiye, had a test lasting maybe 20 mins that she reckons was much deeper than UK - net result she can see an awfull lot better and not getting headaches etc. - The Turkish prescription was different by .25 in one eye.
Anyway she is chuffed with the new specs that cost £120 - a damn site cheaper than in UK
-
I just got glasses in the UK (first time wearer) £235 ouch I have got my prescription to get a spare pair in Turkey.
-
I got my eyes tested free in the uk at Dolland and Aitchison, just do a websearch for free eye tests, download and print voucher.
I then bought a pair of glasses online from glasses direct that cost.....22 pounds delivered.
-
and you get Nectar points with that D&A voucher Mavigoz! great deal i did that too!
-
Next are selling specs now.They are selling D & G and Police glasses as well as other brands and you can put them on your account if you want to.

I went to specsavers for my glasses and had nothing but trouble with them I went to the opticians on the seafront and he sorted me out .No more headaches and dizzy spells he said that specsavers had put the left lense in wrong by 12.5 degrees which is what was causeing the problem. He did varifocal grey reactolite and scratch resistance and thinner lenses and it cost me 200 quid alot cheaper than uk. The optician in the seafront opticians said specsavers is the last place anyone should go and that is comeing from a turkish man. He is moveing into Rodney,s optician shop in the winter.I will defo go to him in the future.
