Between near and far sightedness, I gave up on specs totally. I just don’t recognise people from far. This means I must know mannerism of people I know well and where I may bump into who.

Nobody asked but moi like to support this local optical shop at Bishan :o

Can take a look at the reviews, seems like honest local folks running it and even helped repair simple fixes at no cost. If looking to change optical shop can consider :o let's support good locals :o

dont know what is transisition lens mean, but if its the same meaning as progressive lens then yes.

Transition is the lens turn darker at bright places. Ma chiam transform to sunglasses.

Progressive is let you see far and see near (eyes look lower)

They got ask me to top up until 800+ for Japan lens with UV blocker, I say no.

I went to check out my order yesterday and realized that the 400+ is for 1 pair, so it's basically 1 for 1.

Total cost for both specs is 1.1k.

screen time is not the issue

it's size and distance from eyeball to screen
phone screen is worst

laptop can connect to bigger screen via hdmi and put it on the furthest back of desk
