I feel uv blue better. Dunno y.. Blocks sun glare and better clarity

It should be classified as blue reflect or blue absorb. Both also filters blue light to a certain amount.
Nikon seecoat blue is a blue reflect.

Hi all,

I have read that Digital Lenses may be a better option than Progressive Lenses for people who are new to Presbyopia. Can the experts share the pros and cons of Digital, and possibly the price difference?

I am approximate:
Myopia 4.00
Astig 2.00
Presbyopia 1.50
each side

Never wore Progressive before.

Thank you.

Hi bro!

Digital lenses are generally recommended to people with Presbyopia of +1.00Ds or less & progressive lenses for those with >+1.25Ds.

A pair of basic 1.50 index progressive lenses starts from $180 onwards (Depending on the brand you choose).
Depending on your needs/daily activities, you can also choose to top up & have Add-ons like:

Thinner lenses
Wider Angle lenses
Colour changing lenses (E.g. Transitions, Photochromic)
HEV Light (Blue) Filter (E.g. Asahi-Lite UV3G, Tokai Lutina)

🤔 maybe less reflections/disturbance?

Hey,
Your reading addition/presbyopia is already over the limit for digital lenses which is 1.25(from what I know).
It is better as there is lesser distortion as compared to a progressive so it helps you to adapt to the new way of reading/looking far/walking easier before you actually transit to a progressive.

Hi guys,

I was quoted S$1368 for the Zeiss progressive lens 1.6.
Is the normal price range or I can get a better price by sourcing around other shops?

Thanks in advance.

GANGSTERKIA · 21-07-2019, 12:13 PM

Do you know which tier of prog they recommended you? With photofusion/transition? Got blue protect?

If you ask me, i wouldn't want to take the risk helping you do it.
But i'm sure others will, for a fee depending on how much they deem fit.

GANGSTERKIA · 23-07-2019, 06:26 PM

Honestly, not many places will take up this job UNLESS you are fine with accidental damage to your frame or lens or both. Most place won’t bear the warranty/risk unless you give them the go ahead to do it. You got them both overseas?
