would anybody be able to tell me the difference between Hoya "hilux" and "nulux" ? went over to JB KSL Berlian, gotten a quote for my lens to be made for 600rm ( cos need to custom make my astigmatism 1 side is 2.5) then was told is "hilux" 1.67.

Went over to city square MOG optical, was quoted by 1 lady 1200rm for "hilux" 1.67 ( custom make also, but no idea why the price was twice as exp). Followed by Focus Point optical, quoted me 607rm for "nulux" 1.67 w/80% anti-scratch coating. And the Focus Point guy told me "nulux" is straight lens while "hilux" is slightly curved.

Do need advice if any experts here =D thank you!!

Hi all,

My toddler grabbed my spectacles and threw it on the floor numerous times. Yesterday, the frame broke. I immediately bought a hingeless frame online so that my lenses can be reused.

Anyone knows roughly how much the optical shop will charge if I bring my own lens and frame for it to assemble into one for me?

My budget is $20. Enough?

i think ok price given that i was quoted for hoya lens with blue coating for 200+, which mean your frame should be quite cheap

okay after shopping for a few days, i've found out more info..

Basically Im looking for Hoya Lens with blue control, or PC lens...

I now believe the frame at Queensway is indeed cheap ones. Most shops i go to, and it seems there's a standard retail pricing coz all shop price same for hoya lens...

$180 for 1.5, 300deg, blue control.
$260~$280 for 1.6 aspheric blue control...

Then i was highlighted that Hoya came out new lens called the HVPLL or something... extra durable or something...

$480 1.6 blue control... dun have lower for blue control liao...




Would to ask what you guys will do?

Whack $500 for a new hoya lens?
Whack $300 for a old hoya lens?
Whack $300 for owndays?

Actually what's the deal with tag huer okaley specs ah? Why so TMD ex?
