Blue ray filter is not necessary.. Dun fall into this

I watched a ah tiong AI video which recommend to go hospital to check eyesight, then get the prescription to buy frame and lens ourselves

Sounds logic. But not sure where to get frame and lens to DIY

If you make progressive lens v expensive but the optician I went to can use CDC voucher.
Sometimes they also anyhow make and you can’t wear and get used to it.
i will try when i collect my specs next week.
yesterday the optician use their test lens to let me try, i was like wow, suddenly can see everything clearly.
even now without glasses i can see is can see but will have double vision.

You spent according to your financial capacity.

If you are Ong Ye Kung, you can spend $800 without batting an eyelid.

But $500 is also very respectable number.

U managed to get refund if the progressive lens doesnt work?
not me. i got 2 friends who made before and cannot wear. then one of them found a shop recommended by their colleague who made very good progressive specs. i made there and have been wearing it well ever since.

expensive because i chose the best one with anti blue light, etc

Just now went to do my specs, cause my eyesight getting worse and worse
cost like 570+ sia.. but its for 2 pairs.
last time i do only 100 for 2 pairs

the optician recommend this recommend that, initially 100+ but then she told me say that one wear liao got customer feedback say wear already got headache cause the lens not so good, blah blah.. but then i dont want to take risk so i get the better one.
Expensive is one thing, worst is make liao see things more worst. I made my new specs in 2023 after my old one which I made 20 years ago can't let me see numbers clearly liao. So I take the advice from the shop to make 2 pairs of spec (one for long sight, one for short sight) which cost over $600.00 with 50 degree lesser than what they measured for me as he think my eyesight is improving. But then I think they didn't include the 老花 in my new spec lor. Now still cant see numbers correctly.
