Wow how much cheaper is it out there? Can you just take your prescription?

There are loads of opticians in Paphos and Limmasol. You take your presciption with you and they advise how long it will take. Havent done it for years and not sure how much cheaper it is now with the euro etc. but the designer brands used to be a lot cheaper than UK.

Whilst we were in Paphos in June we got talking to a couple who were going to the opticians. On their return to the hotel they said it was much cheaper to have their eyes tested and buy glasses in the UK. Since Cyprus went to the Euro, spectacles are no longer cheaper. Also some opticians will not just make the prescription up they insist you have your eyes tested. Be prepared.

Checked out a few opticians whilst on holiday in Coral Bay (there are 6 on the main street). Middle of the road frames, not even designer, were 117 euros, with lenses on top. Suffice to say, I didn%26#39;t bother.
