Reading Glasses

I managed to leave my reading glasses on the aeroplane and wondered if there is anywhere in Paphos I can buy a cheap pair rather like you can at say Boots in the UK ?
I’ve looked in the pharmacy in Peyia and a couple of supermarkets as well without finding any . I don’t really want to go through the rigmarole of eyesight tests and the cost at a full blown optician just for reading glasses that I lose or sit on with great regularity !
Happy New Year
Mike

Maybe try the big Alpha Mega by the roundabout. They have a reasonable choice.

Euromania have them at very reasonable prices. Also The Euro Shop in the old town.

Wow, thank you all for the suggestions . Now the New Year seemingly endless holidays { including a half day today ),are over I am off tomorrow to check them out.
My fear is that like the DIY shops today where I was looking for picture hocks they will be awaiting stock replacement with no deliveries since before Christmas .
