Is it correct to say rimless spectacles once u drop then that’s it ? Lenses destroyed ?

Nope, not really. It depends on the height you drop it from,the index/material of the lens and lastly the degree of your eyes.

Regarding the material of the lenses, if you are using the 1.60 high index they are quite strong but usually people will opt for Polycarbonate or trivex lenses which are tougher.

The degree of your eyes will have a direction relation to the thickness of your lens. If your degree is low, the lenses will be thin thus easier to crack/chip when you drop it. But the higher your degree, vice versa it will cause the lens to be thicker and then chances of the whole piece of lens splitting or breaking is lowered.

Height of dropping is self explainatory haha so..

Mainly its all about our handling...

Just pop by those shops that sell the frame that you want and have a look for consideration. The staff can also give you opinions on the frames if you need recommendations

Depends on the impact and the ground it'll land on to. Sometimes it can withstand the pressure.

Hi all, I've noticed that Im more and more sensitive to light, sometimes even indoors if walls and lights are white and too bright I need to squint while others around me seem to feel OK.

I've read that transition lens helps for my case? Question is, is there any difference in grades of transition lens or are they all the same as in I can walk into any spectacle shop and choose a frame plus transition lens? Sorry if this ques sounds weird, I've never had any eye issues before.

Hey good afternoon, i believe what you need is probably a transition lens coupled with a blue filter lenses. Transition lenses will work when you are outdoors but once you come indoor, the lenses will not remain as the tinted colours and will fade to clear. Thus a blue filter lens will come in, these lenses are slightly yellowish which helps to reduce glare and thus should suit your needs.

But also since you mentioned recently you are getting more photosensitive/photophobic, you might also consider doing a full eye checkup just to make sure that it isnt the lens in your eye, retina or even corneal that is abnormal just to be on the safer side. As photophobia could be a symptoms of infections/inflammation in the eye.

Hey, I bought other kind of products from there But Glasses-wise, take note that there will probably be little to none for warranty and servicing. IF you bring it to normal optical shops,*some* might be wary on handling your frame. If not then yes, it should be quite a steal!

Does the delivery takes long?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

I believe it depends on the item you purchase. Mine usually takes 1-2weeks.

Go full frame ba. More Options and more durable if thats the case

 

[drkcynic]

Lindberg looks good but $850 frame alone. At that price maybe can consider lasik haha.

True that. Both sides has its own pros and cons. Gotta weigh and see which will be more beneficial to you.

Hi all,
Need some advice please. I am confused.

1. When we say hoya trueform has got wider view for progressive, which hoya truefoam are we referring to (I saw amplitude, nulux, etc)?

2. Is hoya Summit trueform is the same as hoyalux dynamic summit?

3. What is the difference between truefoam and freefoam?

Thanks much.

Any suggestions? Need light weight and snug ones.

Been wearing IC berlin for the past 8 years, need a change. In the middle tried Silhouette and didn't quite like. Also had Oakley which was soso.

Nulux is under Single visions.
Ranking from lowest to best

2)Yes

3)They are the same!
