anyone knows if pearl optical at chinatown is still open?
AO is still around? Cos my regular shop no longer carry it, thot this brand close shopThere are many brands in the market for now, listing just a few(that i am more familiar with) over here.
Brands e.g.
Essilor crizal Transitions-2++
Hoya HVLL Sensity 2++
Zeiss Duravision Photofusion 28+
Shamir Transitions-2++
For these brands, there are also Sub/Sister brands, e.g. Hoya has Pentax/Stellify, Zeiss has AO. Thus there are more ''budget'' kind of transition lenses too around the market.
Prices are based on ball park figure of RRP and 1.50 Index.

Thanks! What do you think of Crizal Transitions? Are they worth the money?
Good Afternoon and Happy New Year,
Have you tried emailing the oakley suppliers/website regarding the availabilty?
Also do you have a picture of the nose area to let us see how it looks like??
Thanks GANGSTERKIA and Happy New Year.
What about -75x15 & -75x170?
I'm thinking of going back to the same shop, they now have promo package using kodak lens.
E.g.
-1.00/-0.75X15
1st)-1.00/ 2nd) -0.75 3rd x15
1st)(myopia/Hyperopia) 2nd)astigmatism(shan guang)
3rd) Astigmatism Angle
Sounds good! If there is a promo package and you are comfortable with them, just support them if possible!
I'm not too sure if they still carry it but i rarely hear people asking about it as well. most likely being replaced already...
crizal brand or not, transitions double up as a sunglass albeit not very dark.
it gives extra protection from uv and provides comfort under the sun.
what is worth to me might not be what is worth to others

Yeah I think transitions are worth the money. I'm wondering if Crizal is worth the money compared to like generic brandless transition lenses. Are Crizal lenses really more scratchproof?

Thanks for the information!Hi,
Basic stock lens for transition are grey and graphite green. It cost 260 for basic 1.5 index lens(RRP)
250 for 1.6 transition is not a bad price. RRP is 310(pricelist).
3++(probably not discounted yet as maybe they afraid customer just want to check price and compare so never give you the full discounted price)
410 is when you are either(power out of the normal range e.g. astig more than 200) OR else the colour you want are the more premium colours e.g. brown, sapphire(blue),amethst(pinkish), amber(brown/yellow) or emerald(more green).
Hope this helps!
My recommendation is to wait til their Crizal Sapphire UV coating official launch. The new coating is more scratch resistance. There will never be scratch proof lenses even for glass lenses unfortunately..
Thank you for your advice. I was quoted a price of $180 for "generic brandless transition lenses" and crizal and zeiss transitions for their RRP. Was in a dilemma whether to get the brandless ones.
I ended up getting the 1.6 Crizal transitions for $310, but they had a $50 discount off next purchase if I spent >$300 which I used to offset the frame price, so effectively I got the lenses for $260.
I read that transitions last about 2 years. Does that mean after that they lose their photochromic properties and become regular clear lenses?
