The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

The older version of the lens is called superb Asiana. It's the 3rd tier in the zeiss lenses. 1st individual 2. 2nd superb, 3rd precision plus and 4th precision pure.
Avg price is around...1.1k.. I base your degree on a 1.6 index lens. Different places might offer you discount.

anyone heard of zessis precision plus? what is the market rate for this type of lens + photofusion + blue control ?

[GANGSTERKIA]

They should provide you with a lens authenticity card and also the engraving of the lens will state the lens you are getting. Show you an example tomorrow

Bro, I made a Zeiss lens recently (I bought another Starck.. LOL). 1.67 with hard coat, transitions and blue coat. I remember there was some platinum word on it and they charge me about $650 before discount - Which lens in your tiers is that? Thanks in advance..

Duravision platinum? Was it single vision or progressive? Progressive 1.67 not possible so cheap. And if single vision, I see only individual can match your price.. but individual about 700 eh.. progressive 1.67 not so cheap one.

Surely if your astig so high probably is RX customised that's why so ex. Don't worry anyway you will surely receive the card with your details. Can always reference from there.

So, is that the good tier? Or not so good tier lens? =/ Collecting soon..

P.S They want to charge me $100 to fix my frame, is that expensive?

Oh what's wrong with your frame? And what brand? Certain brand must send overseas thus will be more expensive to service if not under warranty. 650 probably is good one so don't worry! Reputable shop won't cheat you all wont(but doesn't mean non reputable will cheat.)
You are in good hands don't worry!

Depends on what frames u want. Certain brands like starck not many shops in sg selling i think his shop is one of the last few. I dont see many selling starck nowadays. Just like tagheuer frames also fading away in the spec mkt. Nowadays korean brands are the hot cakes but i hope koreans can make better quality. Cheap ones dont last.

Wow your astig very high. U how old? In future progressive lens going to cost very high. Which reputable shop u went?

 

[[C]hEWy]

I’m 30+, went to Pearl’s Optical? I don’t think I can do progressive lens - all the shops don’t recommend me that as they say progressive will give me more problem in seeing?
