I like W Optics at Suntec.
Service is par excellence, and they remember customers by name:)

Best bet go Ngee Ann or sp optometry center. Probably 5 dollars to get full eye check. Cheaper than most optical shops out here if cost is a factor.
Like what user garden mentioned. An eye check is like a consultation. We see doctor ask for opinion also have to pay. Go Dentist check teeth also have to pay. Thus over at optical shops, using the equipments to check your eyes... generally also considered consultation right? Haha unless you are a regular customer or else realllly most shops won't provide a free eye check.😓
Hope this clears the air for most of us here regarding free eye checks.

Good evening!
The new lenses that you make is it just clear lens? Or blue filter?
Your degree shouldn't be an issue. Probably tinting the lenses slightly or blue filter lens might help as it reduces glare in such instances.
Hope this helps!

Another alternative is get a tinted lens then. Might help but only in conditions which you experience then might be useful.
E.g. Slightly more yellowish tint. Usual blue filter lenses is 30%. There is 50% and that might solve the issue.
But 50% means more yellow. Take note

Should I get a new one since it's already been three yrs

Is it normal to see reflection at the corner of my glasses. I can see light source when there's light behind my back, it can get very annoying
I have the multi coat by crzial.
Sorry but I not very good with all the glasses thingy.
Thanks again

It's fine don't worry, I am learning myself too.
Usually this happens due to reflection. Even if lenses are anti reflection, you still see a certain amount at certain angles. It happens more for frameless/half frame glasses due to refraction too. Bigger your lenses, more of such you might encounter.
Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks! Hope this helps for now!

Have you tried the reduced power? Does it feels more comfortable?

As in have they let you try the simulated new power? Or was it just a verbal thing?
I just feel at least giving it a try mighttt be better so at least you know what you are getting for the remake. Just my thought...

Currently waiting for them to ready. Hopefully it will be better =)
