Not a customer, but based on my friends review when they visit. They are really nice, professional and have a huge selection of frames. Not a bad idea to visit them.

The chicken rice store at the same level is quite famous too.

Any frequent customers of Jamco Optical care to weight in on their experience? I'm looking for an everyday pair, preferably one that is gym-friendly.

I've checked out the IG page and the round metal frames from Oliver People & Yellow+ seem promising!

Hi been using single vision specks all the while. Degree ard 400
Recently I find my vision become blurry at normal reading range with spec on. Is it laohua?

What type of lense shd I be looking at? (No astig)
Any shop to recommend for a simple eye check? Tia

Hi bro,

Couple of reasons why you may be feeling that:
  1. Your degree dropped (Meaning your current glasses degree is too high)
  2. Laohua
  3. Possible convergence insufficiency

You can drop by any shop for a quick check using autorefractor. Most shops provide this service free. This quick check can easily confirm possibility of 1 or 2.

Hmm with the correct progressive design & settings, I doubt you will experience dizziness.

We've fitted thousands of progressive lenses so far, noone complained of dizziness before. 🤔

How high is your degree btw?

All shops can do. Even Owndays also u can bring other frames and they will do it for u.

But for just doing the lens, some shops charge slightly more for the lens compared to if u buy both frame plus lens. Some shops call this edging fee.

If you want those branded or specialised lenses, better bring to a reputable shop.

Are there shops which do lens only? Ie bring your own frame there

Hey guys, seeking your expertise. Is there kinda a spherical distance that should vary in terms of the type of spectacles (nose pad vs non-nose pad). I came from a non-nose pad version and just did new spectacles with nose pad. Even at the same degrees, feel that it's not clear with the new spectacles and I can't see text clearly on my monitor from 2~3m distance.

When using back my old glasses, it looks alot clearer.

yes, if the distance from the lens to your eyes is further, the power will be different.

Yup when you switch from frames with non-nosepads to nosepads, the degree would usually require some adjustments if your prescription is above -4.00Ds.

Thx! How long does one take to adjust to the new lenses? It's just my right lenses that sees text blur at long distance. It's day 4 of wearing the new specs.
