I lost or broke my glasses while visiting Hua Hin. What should I do?
Visit Time Optic Hua Hin. We can test your eyes and make new glasses even without your old pair. For broken glasses, bring them in — depending on the damage, the frame may be adjustable or you may need a new frame or lenses.
Can I use my prescription from another country?
Bring your prescription for review. Whether it can be used directly depends on the details provided and your current vision needs.
Can I keep my frame and replace only the lenses?
Yes, in many cases. We inspect your frame first to make sure it is in good condition and suitable for the new lenses.
Can I bring my own frame?
Yes, in many cases, after we check that its condition and design are suitable for fitting prescription lenses.

We offer high-index lenses such as 1.60, 1.67 and 1.74 for suitable prescriptions.
Do you have photochromic (light-reactive) lenses?
Yes. Photochromic lenses darken outdoors under UV light and clear up indoors — useful for Hua Hin’s strong sun.
Can I get prescription sunglasses in Hua Hin?
Yes. Prescription sunglass lenses are available depending on your prescription and frame. Polarized lenses are a good choice for the beach, as they cut glare from water and roads.
