I have been wearing this "progressive lens" spec for 2.5 years and recently I found my old flower is getting worst, so I went JB to make a new pair

upon checking by the shop, they told me the specs I am wearing is not a real progressive lens but a "digital eye relaxing lens", which is in between the single lens and progressive lens

I was so disappointed at first but after I learnt the price of the real progressive lens, I was relieved, cause I paid RM900 for the lens+frame for my old spec while the Varilux basic progressive lens already RM1000+ without frame

But I am still angry of being mis-informed for the last 2.5 years

That's all of my rant for the day, cheers

I also have progressive lens and they are a hell to get use to...

If your eyeball is off angle even just a bit, the words will become blur, u need to constantly adjust and tilt your head, your eyeballs, and the distance between you and the text to get it sharp just right....

Terrible la...

Just Imagine all the things in life where we have been misinformed. Once we find out, would be extremely mind blowing.
