I’d like to get some advice on prescription sunglasses. My wife has just had treatment for retina tears and somehow become very sensitive to light. Also cannot use contact lens like before.

She wants a good pair of light frame sunglasses with prescription tinted lens. Preferably polarized. Her RX is in the range of -5.0. Any brand of lenses to recommend?

Don’t mind travelling to a good shop. Budget around $5-600.

essilor have these xperio lenses whereby its polarised and can choose the color to what you want. however, the frame must be large enough to cover her eyes and give the neccessary protection. that being said, with an rx of 500, a bigger frame means larger and heavier lens. just providing some FIY. of course whichever shop you go to, they will advise the best solution accordingly.
btw, how come she cant use contact lenses? her eye sensitive or too dry?

I just make a Zeiss Digital individual.i am thinking of getting a second pair by Shamir lens.anyone can comment on Shamir lens.

Heard there is a new Shamir AI Progressive Lens. Seems good

Thanks for the advice, we have a fitover but they generally feels clumsy and very dated. Can still use it car. Certainly no complaints about protection. Most on the market don’t work well over prescription glasses in terms of fit.

We are looking for a frame plus lens combo that balance between looks and protection. Prepared to take something without full all round protection. Something that can be used for travel and outdoor events without standing out too much like a fitover frame.

That might still be an issue to her as light can still enter from the top and the side.

You might want to consider asking her to get a fitover instead, really light-weight and covers almost all area that is exposed as compared to when wearing a sunglass(side,top of frame exposed). Cost of a fitover is somewhere along 50-200(depending on brand/quality). That is unless she doesnt fancy the outlook. But its for the protection which i believe is more important.

 

[striker22]

Thanks. She is recovering so likely do not want to introduce contact lens at this stage due to risk of infection and physical trauma.

Noted on the advice for frame and lens weight. Any shop that you could recommend for Xperio lenses and price range for such lenses. Does the Xperio come in various index? Her RX -5.00 and Astig that is within most stock lens range without needing special orders

Hey there,imo once you are wearing a sv individual, depending on your clarity tolerance, not many lenses can actually be on par with it in terms of coating and clarity. You might consider NIKON SEEMAX INFINITE. But it is also pretty costly like your zeiss lens.

Thank you.Gangsterkia.

Will like to know which frames are good for sports and which lens is good to fit on sports frame?besides Oakley and Zeiss sports lens.

Some opticians i enquire said Shamir multi coat do not last.

Based on my wearing experience,Hoya multi-coat still last till 7 years.seiko and Pentax last TIL 2 years plus.

Hi bro, considering your wife's probable usage (polarized outdoor, non-polarized indoor/dim conditions) I'ld suggest going for polarized clip-on glasses.

Given her prescription of -5.00Diopters, would add up to around $400, including superthin 94% blue filter Single Vision lenses.

Hoya's coating was pretty lasting till they shifted their lens manufacturing lab :X

 

[EyezoneOpticalSG]

The coating do not last more than one year.i bought 2 pairs.

Doesn't block the harmful Blue range either (HEV~411nm)

 

[striker22]

Trhanks for providing an extra option for us to choose from with these snap ons. But from the looks of it, the nosebridge is definitely not going to work for her and the lens will surely hit her cheekbones.

everyone has different experience with coatings.
how u use the lenses and the frequency of usage will affect it.
i haven't heard of anyone not complaining about coating peels from any brand at all. simple fact because coatings are not meant to last THAT long. 7 years is an incredible long time. i myself havent seen my lenses last that long so its incredible.

valid reason to not wear contact lenses!
which area you stay around? the price range let me check it out for you and get back to you tomorrow if someone hasn't already provided the info.

got the frame online?
sorry to be the bringer of bad news but there isnt really a lens whereby it doesnt scratch easily. all boils down to how you care for the lenses
is there any shop whereby you are comfortable with to go to near your area?

Quite dumb of me and my lousy Chinese comprehension but I ended up buying this pair from taobao with blue light but no degree

Any idea where I can get the lens replaced for cheap cause the no degree cost me 30 dollars only

Did you give them your prescription?

$30 is really good deal for a trendy frame with a hard case.
