Hi, besides owndays, any other places to check out for magnetic snap-on shades? $ wise seems like snap on cheaper than 2 glasses. Thanks.

I'm using evoblue and prevencia. Prevencia doesn't block sun or glare as well. Blue light wise, about the same, but prevencia much more yellow.

hi prevencia is not a sunglass lens. it will only block off blue light and not glare and 'sun'
sunglasses should be considered if you want to reduce glare. If not, transitions..

Hi!

Thats the only brand with HEV(Blue) Absorb (~94% filter) technology built into the material + changes colour under the sun, while the rest(Essilor, zeiss, hoya) depends on a layer of blue coating on the lens surface to reflect away up to 30% HEV(Blue) light.

In terms of value for money & good protection, Kodak Evoblue would be recommended. :)


Quick illustration of the difference between Blue reflect & Blue absorb

Light Spectrum (Left side of chart being most harmful to humans):


Blue Reflect lenses block up to 30% across whole blue spectrum (~400-500nm)


Blue Absorb lenses block up to 94% of the high energy waves(up to 420nm), while letting the rest of beneficial blue light in.(~420-500nm)


disclaimer: straight lines are drawn to make it easier for me to draw :X Actual lines are not as straight as what is illustrated:s13:

Hi, can I ask if Kodak has a similar lens without the turn dark in sunlight feature¿ Thank you in advance. :)

Hmm Never heard about these lenses. So far only Mvision has progressive lens design and material comparable to Zeiss.

Look out for their 4k Varios premium progressive design. I've had customers switching over from ID2, S/X series and claiming 4k's performance is much better than what they had previously

Hi guys

Wanted to ask for ur advise,

I wanna change my current spect lens and I saw online the Zeiss lens are quite good.. cause my current lens is oily and scratch badly

But I'm confused by the website for their duravision Platinum all this, may I know what the difference on them??

Also if I wan get Zeiss lens with all the coating on how much roughly it cost?? And got which shop I can go down have a look??

My degree is currently 500 degree on both eyes(sorry dunno the exact terms) I'm currently 28. And I think I only need single vision lense type

and my frame now is ownsday frame which is thick so I dun think I need super thin lens..

Sorry for the nub question and thanks for the help in advance :)

Duravision platinum is their standard coating right now. Unless you are thinking of adding photofusion(photochromatic/transition) or blue protect(blue light filter).

You will need a 1.6 index lenses to be honest. 1.5 also can but the weight and outlook might not be too appealing.

Hope this helps.

The difference is the quality/clarity and extra measurements needed for the higher tiers.
I.scription is more customised whereby even night vision test will be taken into account and a special machine iprofiler(zeiss) have to be used in order to obtain the data for the lenses and thus will cost more.
Scratch resistance and all will apply but no such thing as scratch proof.
