Getting Glasses Couldn’t be Easier With Anna Optical Glasses
Walking into Panjiayuan Beijing Glasses City(潘家园北京眼镜城 pānjiāyuán běijīng yǎnjìngchéng) – a massive glasses market south of Guomao – it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Here you'll find countless stores, selling hundreds of different kinds of glasses and it’s difficult to know where to begin. This is especially true if you're a foreigner trying to find a shop where they speak English and you won't run the risk of buying fake glasses or getting ripped off.
Anna speaks great English and is used to dealing with foreign customers
That’s where Anna Optical Glasses comes in. Located on the third floor of Glasses City, this store specifically caters to foreigners, with about 80 percent of their customers being foreign. Run by fully qualified optician Anna and her husband, an expert in lens manufacturing, they’ve been running this one-stop glasses store for almost ten years.
There are plenty of different styles of glasses to choose from
Anna speaks excellent English, which means that along with administering eye tests completely in English, Anna and her team can also offer expert advice on lens usage and scenarios to ensure that each and every customer receives glasses that are carefully tailored to their vision requirements and needs.
One of the products they specialize in are progressive lenses
All lenses are made to order by Anna's husband. This prevents issues like getting a wrong or lower quality prescription, which can happen with other stores in the market that instead make and order glasses and lenses in large batches.
If you want to buy prescription sunglasses then look no further than Anna Optical Glasses
At Anna Optical Glasses, they have multiple different types of glasses and lenses available and specialize in office lenses, regular lenses, progressive lenses, and prescription sunglasses. Along with Chinese-branded lenses they also have international big-name brands including Zeiss, Essilor, HOYA, and NIKON, which are priced with a 50 percent discount.
For example, high-quality Essilor lenses with an anti-glare coating are only RMB 300. In addition to great discounts on glasses and lenses, the eye test at Anna Optical Glasses is completely free!
They have many high-quality lenses and glasses available
Once you’ve chosen your glasses and lenses you only need to wait around 30 minutes for regular glasses to be ready, for progressive lenses the wait time is around one week.
Along with glasses and lenses you can also get contact lenses from Anna Optical Glasses. They have both normal contact lenses and astigmatism contact lenses available as dailies, weeklies or monthlies. Their normal contact lenses are available right away and for astigmatism contact lenses you’ll need to wait 5-10 days.
