My Oliver Peoples spec finally have cracks after 8 years of heavy usage. :(

Time to get another pair.

It pays to invest in good pair of frame.
The gold coating on the side frame doesn’t fade much. \o/ \o/

Hi,

Is there any comparison of Zoff vs Owndays that I would like to get reading glasses?

Thanks.

Is it possible to confirm the model of lens that you get?

Recently made a pair and the shop says is Hoya, but it doesn't behave like the awesome reviews here. The 1.67 has massive color aberration so I had to go back to 1.6 (yay free money for the shop). Which does kind of follow Hoya's datasheet but even f*cking Owndays is doing better in this aspect with their 1.67 so something doesn't feel right here. Even the AR loses out to my previous unknown lens that I have with me right now.

Oh it's $200 for lens + $200 for frame btw. Single vision no blue no progressive no whatever.

Hoya, stellify or Pentax? Did they mention which was given to you? Stellify and Pentax are also under hoya.

Hi bro,

Nulux Classic HVLL comes with BlueControl, unless otherwise stated.

BlueControl makes the lenses appear yellowish.

Extra news

For parents here who are worried for their child myopia, a new form of myopia control lenses is open in the market for *certain* places. It’s called miyosmart/DIMS. You can Google it or ask over any questions over here(will try to answer)
White paper of the lenses is all online, results
Similar ortho-K lenses, non Invasive and it’s just a spectacle lenses.
Released by hoya a few months back. Results of test can be found on the articles too. If you need any further links then I will post here if you require.
Take note, it is a treatment lens and thus transitions/blue filter are not able to be added onto it. Material is 1.59 polycarbonate thus tougher and not easily chipped.(not scratch proof)

1.6 progressives for 220 seems quite cheap already. But did they tell you what to expect e.g. distortions and how wide are the viewing zones?
