Hi, if I would like a lens that could reduce the blue light from PC, yet won't have the yellowish tint, what options do I have?

Blue Reflect lenses block up to 30% across whole blue spectrum (~400-500nm) & are generally much yellowish


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). These lenses have an almost not noticeable yellow tint.

Hello, I just wanna check if my pair of prescription transitions glasses which I recently purchased are Transitions gen 7 or the latest gen 8. If it’s stated on my card that it’s “T7 Grey”, I assume it’s gen 7? I was hoping that it’ll be gen 8 since they should’ve arrived in Singapore already.

I see. But does the Asahi lens helps to reduce night glare ? My crizal lens is doing a really bad job here.

If you're using Crizal Prevencia, chances are you'll see alot of reflection. Might appear as glare.

Asahi has Blue absorb technology embed into the material & utlilises the usual Anti-Reflection coating.

I'ld say night glare is much less in the case for Asahi Lite UV3G lenses when compared to Crizal Prevencia.

The image on left looks like a lens that have alot of scratches/ car windscreen issue.
Is the image the same when you step out of the car? If it is then probably lens issue.
You can drop by to try Asahi/Tokai, if it's not better. We'll do a refund for you :s12:

That’s right on second point. Iirc lifestyle V+ then is double asph. I can check on that again.

Usually we will give a rough estimate on the thickness to the customer and let them know the difference in lens thickness, then they calculate if it’s worth the extra. But again there are and there are not those that are willing. Once again frame size plays a part in thickness of the lens.

Hi bro, have you checked for me, whether lifestyle balansis is also double aspherical in design?

Is hoya still the best in progressive brand at the current moment?

Oh no, I totally overlooked it. Yes it is double aspherical.
Hoya has really best reading.
Zeiss has the best distance but reading not as good. If you need to know in detail you can pm me. It is due to certain technical reasons.

Which is the best, as of now I am leaning towards hoya.
