Good afternoon,
Have you contacted the shop?
Does the details of your prescription matched that on the card too?
If not, you can always head back to check with the shop.

hi guys,

anyone knows how to verify whether a hoya lense is real or fake?

I entered the order number from the quality card given by the shop, it said invalid order number.

Am i kena conned?

Thanks will check it out. Chinatown rental quite high though, wondering if they can really keep prices down

If rental is high and still can keep prices down then dont expect the quality to be that high lor.

I am looking for somewhere to make my specs.

Previously, I have made my specs at owndays but i find that the yellow hue for their PC lens is too much. When I take photos, i can see the lens are yellow in color. In the past when I made PC lens at other shops, this won't happen.

Any shops in the west to recommend that I can make specs at the same price point ~$280 for 1.67 index, PC lens?

They should have the RiM series. Maybe you can give them a call to check. But if not, they can always order it for you.
Any particular model name you are looking for e.g. Jackie, Max?

What is MOF? I am interested with one of the air titanium rim.

hi bro,

There are couple of possible reasons that could cause the headaches.
Wrong degree, wrong PD, extraocular muscle issues. I'ld suggest dropping by your usual optical stall to check whats the underlying issue :)

Hi bro,

We have Tokai Lutina, the lens material absorbs up to 94% HEV (Blue) light & does not have a reflective coating.
you may consider dropping by our Teck Whye branch to have a look :)

I want to share my experience in making my new lens recently.

I have two pair of progressive. One from ownday and one from nanyang. Of course you can guess the one from nanyang will cost lots more. But after using both I found the comfort level of Ownday is better than the more expensive one made by nanyang, supposedly one of the old timer in SG.

Recently I wanted to make a third pair and I went to one shop which my family used to go, the boss is quite a trustworthy person. After he tested my eyes and the two pairs I have, he concluded that both are over power.

By over power I can see far distance very clear but mid range not clear. Instead he adjust for me downward to get a clear mid range and still maintain a reasonably good focus for far range.

He said that is a common mistake people make by over powered the lens for far distance and making it uncomfortable for more practical mid range use.

Any exports view here?
