What kind of glasses are you using? Single vision or progressive?
Have you tried the power in the spectacle shop before making? Any idea what is the power of your glasses now?
Any differences if you pull the glasses slightly further away from your face or is the glasses alr sitting further from your face??

Yikes! Like overrated man imo hah. If you like chicken rice, I think their basement Kopitiam got some famous chicken rice that I eat when I use to work at that area. Same level as jamco too.

Thanks! That’s far! But also a good excuse to go Jiak Katong laksa!

Ordered a pair at Northpoint Glimpse branch a week ago but till now no calls yet. They said need to wait for awhile due to my high astigmatism. But one week seemed a bit long.

Anyone tried Glimpse?

How high is your astig?
And may I ask how was your astig tested? Just by a machine or the usual way of looking at Dots and shown different lenses to make them darker/sharper?
Sometimes certain brand of lenses have to be ordered overseas. So just wait awhile longer see how, shouldn't take more than 10days usually:)

Wa your astig so high! Most lens up to 400-500 astig usually. Certain Brand’s got go to 900. But very few. I believe that's why so Long. At most you can Ring them up and check! Shouldn't kenna!
