Jirón Huancavelica in Lima centro is full of opticians, but try to take a Peruvian friend with you otherwise you'll be paying a premium.
Other than that there are opticians on every street corner all over Lima. You can't miss them, unless you need glasses

Around Miraflores I found many but 130 soles?

you could have picked up a pair at the 99 cent store in the U.S. i picked up 3 pair!

I had a pair with me but lost on the plane.

Yes 6 bucks at wal mart or dollar store...

Just reading glasses? Some guy sitting on the sidewalk with a suitcase full has those.

Lince, around block 17 or cuadra 17 of avenida Arequipa, If you take a bus step down a block after centro comercial Risso and walk by the Arequipa avenue . You can find a lot of opticas over there. go with your peruvian wife or a peruvian friend to avoid the gringo fee.

Well, you left us hanging... where?

I will ask my girl tonight. I have never seen so many optical stores in my life. She has the receipt and is at work now so I will post the location tonight. She mentioned that this place was a wholesaler for other stores in the area.

Roger, we am glad you had a safe flight; especially using SPIRIT!
I asked my church family in the US, to include you & yours in the PRAYER CHAIN - with the recent tornados in OK; I never experienced one while living in PA - but they seem extremely scary.

Hope you are settling in & will enjoy your time in Peru; we am hoping your many years in FIBER OPTICS will be profitable in Peru. Are you & my contact Richard going to discuss your participation in his venture?

Our sincerest best wishes for you & your Peruvian girlfriend in Peru,
Philip & Rosmery
PS - looking forward to sharing my famous ARROZ ESPECIAL with you guys; sorry, can't divulge the recipe

[Roger in the US]

Thank you Philip.

I appreciate it much. Looking forward to meeting you and your wife.

I have high hopes for the Arroz Especial.
