Where and how can you get glasses made in Tbilisi?
Eye tests, opticians and turnaround times.
Short answer
Glasses in Tbilisi are made at optical shops, many of which test your eyes on site; for complex cases, see an ophthalmologist at a clinic first. Simple glasses are often ready in 1-3 days, while special-order lenses take longer. The cost depends on frames and lenses, so compare two or three opticians.
Why
- Opticians usually accept a glasses prescription from another country.
- Contact lenses are sold in opticians and some pharmacies.
- A computer eye test at an optician does not replace a full exam by a doctor.
Details
Bring your old glasses or prescription if you have them to speed up fitting. For sudden vision loss or eye pain, see a doctor immediately.
Tip
Bring your old prescription or glasses to make choosing new ones easier.
