Had a look in the opticians when we were there and not much choice.Also tried the designer outlets,addidas etc.. but same again not much choice,not too bad with price, but i would stick with duty free at uk airport - you know what you are getting.If you stop at Baharain have a look there. 8)

Genuine fakes though :wink: If you go to Panjim or anyone staying South, Margao you will get good sunglasses cheaper than the UK. Or for anyone in Cavelossim Saga sells genuine (really) designer goods.

Faketastic everywhere.

Some better than others.

The street up from Calangute Beach main steps have the best choice.

There is a walk in shop that had sunglasses only which sold good standard fakes for 250/300.

Anywhere in the world, if you try on the Oakleys you will know in a second if you have the real deal.

I am always breaking my sunglasses and I never pay more than 150 rupees for new ones, and they always assure me that they are genuine Ray Bans. What more could you ask for?

There're a few good opticians in Panjim if you want 'real' sunglasses.
I found that different branches had different ranges, so it's not a case of going into any Romano's or Agnelo's and being able to compare and barter.
The OH got some great Police sunglasses in Panjim but paid about £70, I got some top quality metal Raybans in Margao for £40.
The best deals are if you get an eyetest, prescription lenses and sunglasses. Set them all down on the counter and start knocking the price down.
