total cost?
~$800 TT shipped
armmm $800 total for nine pairs

being doing this using zenni optical

http://www.zennioptical.com/

had my eyes checked and got a prescription locally. cost for exam and prescription $150 at visual eyes in curepe.

zenni doesn't require confirmation or approval from an optometrist. you just need to enter the correct prescription information

once you've chosen your frames, you get a choice of lens (high index etc)

or a choice of transition lens or sunglasses (prescription) lens

and you can also get anti reflective coatings. It is possible to get basic glasses (1.50 index, no transition, no anti-reflective) for u$10 to $20.

zenni accepted paypal from my local (trinidad) credit card. shipping from california to miami was u$4.95 via usps first class. total shipping from miami to trinidad via jsl speedpak was TT$40 (no customs duty).

so total cost of a pair of basic glasses is less than TT$200.

i added transitions, high index and antireflective; my pair turned out to be TT$600. they fit and look good enough and i see better with them than my previous ferreira optical glasses (probably due to the accurate prescription exam at visual eyes). however they're not as light as my old ferreira optical glasses as those were flexon. for zenni prices, you can always buy a couple spare frames for each pair of glasses..

Does anyone in TT sell Tag Heuer Frames ???? Amazon has them for about US200, but I want to try them on first before purchasing online.

been looking at this one

I got one of these recently.
Works really nice for driving.
The polarized lenses help out greatly with the glare.

Also have a pair of Dirty Dog sunglasses that aren't polarized. There really is a big difference when you compare polarized vs non-polarized.

These are what I use for glasses:

: Current glasses

Got them about 18 months ago. Took Transitions and the Super Nova coating.

I was reading about the Crizal. Does anyone know how it compares to the (Super) Nova from VO?

Anyone ever buy from glasses2go.com or bestnewglasses.com? In fact are any of these sites trustworthy at all?

OT has a nice Perry Ellis frame for 1650. The same frame is being sold on those two websites for -$100 usd

So.. Ferriera is not carrying Silhouette frames anymore. Any other optician carry these frames or do I need to buy glasses abroad from now?
Would prefer buy glasses locally due to warranty but would buy abroad if I have no choice. Optometrist today does not have either.

Ferriera said they not selling Oakley Glasses Frames anymore..
They are pushing this Brian Lara line and their own line...
Most of the designer options are really horrible thick framed designs.
They said, "That's what people wearing now so that's what we selling..."

I'm having trouble finding a variety of designer frames locally.
Can anyone give recommendations?

X_Factor · Postby **X_Factor** » May 25th, 2018, 1:36 pm

if u currently wear glasses just search the size online and get one...I got a prada on amazon for 130usd

Anyone tried getting laser eye surgery in Trinidad? If so, who would you recommend and what's a rough cost for both eyes?

maj. tom · Postby **maj. tom** » July 25th, 2020, 7:54 pm

A consultation with an optometrist is probably the best place to get the correct and detailed info on this. Will probably even refer you to a LASIK ophthalmologist if you so desire.

Because there are pros and cons. And the cons should be noted because when they laser ablate your cornea layer it never coming back. And it's not guaranteed to give you 20/20 vision at the end, nor does it compensate for needing to wear reading glasses when you are older.

Precision in St. Augustine is one place.
Advanced Vision in Maraval.
Caribbean Eye Institute in Valsayn.
