Prakash Opticals And Contact Lens Clinic

You can find our optical shop and clinic in the Ghatate Building right at Panchsheel Square. It is directly opposite the Panchsheel Cinema, which makes it very easy to give directions to people who are visiting for the first time. We have been sitting here in Ramdas Peth for a long time now. People usually drop off their eye prescriptions and then go catch a movie or do some shopping while they wait for their new glasses to be ready. We carry a good variety of frames, from the cheap ones that students buy to some of the nicer brands if someone wants to spend a bit more. The contact lens part of the clinic is in a smaller room in the back where it is more private for fitting and practice. It has an old-school shop feel to it. We do not have those bright neon lights or loud music playing. It is just us, the lens grinding machines, and lots of drawers full of frames. The square gets really busy in the evenings, so that is when we see the most foot traffic. Sometimes the cinema crowd wanders in just to browse while they wait for their show to start. We do not mind. We have seen the fashion of glasses change many times over the decades we have been in this building. It is a steady business and we like being part of the Ramdas Peth community. Most of our customers are locals who have been coming here since they were kids.
