Hi everybody, got a few questions because I’m glasses noob hope someone can help out
I only recently started wearing glasses on and off since March(turns out I’m hyperopic but never noticed lol) but saw some nice and cheap frame from zoff so just hoot first lol. So my questions are
1. Should I make the lenses at zoff or go to my regular optometrist? Will the quality differ much? Price is not really an issue to me but I can bring the pair to zoff in Japan so I’m guessing it would be much cheaper to go with zoff but I’m open to anything.
2. If I’m hyperopic and not myopic will high-index lenses make that much of a difference ? I think my current pair is 1.6 or even lower and it doesn’t feel too thick so I’m not too sure it’s worth the upgrade ? Can’t remember my exact degree but I think it was +3.25 and +1.5 or something but apparently the degree on the glasses are a lil lower for me to adjust (was explained to me but optometrist jargons so I forgot) anyhow I can see clearly with and even without glasses (apparently just helps me focus and reduce strain?) so I guess it’s fine .
Some googling also lead me to believe high index might be heavier(?!?!) because they are denser? Also the frames are half rimmed and already on the sliiiiightly thicker side if that would matter
3. Are PC lenses actually effective or just placebo? Also I’ve seen zoff advertised their pc lenses as clear but some bros here with pc lenses have tint(?) what’s the difference ?
Thanks in advance to the specs pros around here haha
