How Much Do Prescription Glasses Cost?
The cost of prescription glasses does not have one fixed price, because it depends on your prescription, lens type, frame style, and daily usage. Here is a simple breakdown of the common price ranges and what they usually include.
Prescription Glasses at 1,500–2,500 THB
This is the entry-level price range, suitable for general everyday use. It focuses on value and basic visual clarity, and is ideal for people with uncomplicated prescriptions who want comfortable, practical glasses without overspending.
At this price range, you will typically get:
- Single vision lenses for either near or distance vision
- Stock lenses with standard prescription ranges
- Standard lightweight frames for everyday use
- Basic lens features such as scratch resistance and entry-level UV protection
Even at this starting price, Monde Eyewear still prioritizes quality and comfort. We provide detailed eye exams under the care of optometrists via video consultation, and we take time to understand how you actually use your glasses before recommending the most suitable frames and lenses.
That means you get glasses that are comfortable, clear, and practical for daily use—without paying more than necessary.
Prescription Glasses at 2,500–6,000 THB
This price range is suitable for people who wear glasses regularly in daily life and want better comfort and sharper vision. It is a good choice for those with astigmatism, stronger prescriptions, or heavy screen use.
At this range, you will usually get:
- Higher-quality single vision lenses with improved clarity
- Blue light filtering lenses to reduce digital eye strain
- Thinner lenses for better comfort and lighter weight
- A wider selection of stronger, more stylish, and lightweight frames
Prescription Glasses at 6,000–15,000 THB
This range is ideal for people who want enhanced comfort, or who have more complex prescriptions, such as stronger prescriptions, high astigmatism, or special visual needs.
At this price range, you will typically get:
- Premium-quality lenses with sharper vision and less distortion
- Extra-thin lenses for stronger prescriptions
- Additional lens functions such as anti-fatigue lenses or photochromic multi-coated lenses
- Better-quality frames that are lighter and more comfortable
- More personalized fitting and adjustments based on face shape and usage needs
Prescription Glasses at 10,000 THB and Above
This is the premium tier, suitable for people who want the highest visual performance or have very specific vision needs, such as heavy screen use, demanding work, or specialized prescriptions.
At this level, you will usually get:
- Advanced lens technology for extra clarity and comfort
- Customized lenses designed around your unique lifestyle and usage
- Premium frames with superior design and materials
- More in-depth eye exams and highly detailed fitting services
How Much Does an Eye Exam Cost?
An eye exam is an important step before getting glasses, but the cost can vary from store to store. Some optical shops charge separately for eye exams, while others include the service as part of the glasses package.
In general, eye exam fees range from free of charge to additional fees depending on the level of detail involved.
The cost usually depends on:
- The depth of the examination
- The time required
- The equipment used
A basic eye exam for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism may be free or cost very little. More advanced exams—for example, those involving visual behavior analysis or complex prescriptions—may cost more.
At Monde Eyewear, we offer detailed eye exams free of charge, with no additional fee. Our professional staff are ready to help you feel confident before deciding on your new glasses.
How Much Do Frames Cost?
Frames are available at many different price levels depending on the material, design, and style you prefer. At Monde Eyewear, we have created easy-to-understand packages featuring popular frame options along with professional eye exams and lens fitting.

FAQs
Q: Which type of lenses should I choose for my needs?
A: Lens choice should mainly depend on how you use your eyes. If you spend a lot of time on computers or smartphones, blue light filtering lenses may help. If you have age-related farsightedness, progressive lenses may be the best choice for clear vision at all distances.
Q: How should I take care of my glasses so they last longer?
A: Wash your glasses with clean water and lens cleaner, avoid wiping them with clothing, and keep them in a case when not in use. This will help extend the life of both your lenses and frames.
Q: What should I do if I feel dizzy or uncomfortable after wearing my glasses?
A: Dizziness may happen if the prescription is not suitable or if the glasses do not fit your face properly. We recommend returning to the store for a professional recheck and adjustment, so your glasses can feel comfortable and reduce eye strain in the long run.
