Pretty New Glasses!

If you happen to be in Mysore looking for a good glasses shop, I thoroughly and completely recommend Ismail Opticals.

Not only did they give me 24-hour turnaround (when I explained that I was only staying in Mysore for two days and couldn't take a week to get the glasses back), but they hand-delivered them to my hotel (at 10 p.m.), and fitted them for me outside of the reception desk.

At no extra charge.

I am loving these glasses. Not only because they are oh-so-cute, but also because my world has suddenly popped into high-def. The ophthalmologist who wrote my prescription said that it was only a small change from my old pair, but... it is a very big improvement to me. Not having to squint at things is huge.

Here's the picture!

Very nice and very cool-looking glasses :-) Is that the new "night-suit" you're wearing?

I didn't realise you were getting new glasses in Mysore - from your post on med. tourism, I assumed you had gotten them already.

If you are going back to Bangalore and have some time there (at least a couple of days) go to Anglo-American opticals on Commercial Street with your prescription - he is very good too - we've used him all our lives.

Pretty indeed!

Am dropping by here a long time - I hope you're having a fun time there.

(And I'm curious at the previous commenter defining--and recommending-- the optical specifically as "Anglo-American.")

Vi,

Anglo-American opticals has been a Bangalore fixture for a few years now (since the early 70s, if I remember right) - I have no idea how the name came about, our ophthalmologist recommended him for glasses the first time we needed them, and we've used them ever since. Bangalore always was more into "Western" things - names of stores included, so maybe that's where the owner came up with the name.
