Hi, is it the progressive version or single vision version?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Any feedback from users of Zeiss Blueguard lens?

Not using it myself, but feedback I gathered was that it’s fine. No complaints or issue as of yet.

I am currently wearing my tokai lense.
I realise after I put into a digital supersonic cleaner with water the lenses coating wore off quite a lot.
om.. I think i just damaged my own glasses,
Is there any spectacles lens that have coating not likely to wear off?

Oh no.
I just purchase a Ultrasonic cleaner.
May I know what model is your digital supersonic cleaner?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

If you frame has those glitzy diamond or things stuck on it, do becareful, as the the ultrasonic cleaner might cause them to fall off over time.

Depending on how old the coating is and also the damage it has on it, it varies.
But coating from hoya or Zeiss tends to last longer.
Imagine like those coated metal kind of products, once part of the coating comes off, the rust might start forming and then slowly the coating becomes weaker.
So similarly, if there are lots of scratches which damages the multicoat, then if you put in the ultrasonic cleaner, you will see the coating coming off easier..
Hope this helps!

Thanks. It's help.
I should come here to ask about this cleaner before I place order.

Very good reading material

Stuff like this I didn't know before, altho I knew about abbe values beforehand.

As lens size will have an effect also, large eyesize equates to more color. Abbe needs to be at the forefront of your lens material choice.

Hi, before the expert Gangsterkia replies you. What is your power for your presbyopia? When you asked about its price range, it varies from $100+ with frame to $1000+ just for lens alone. Probably, you need to tell us or him a bit more? Thanks.

presbyopia right 0.3, left 0.9

 

[ABuNeNe]

and what is your budget ?

maybe $300? just looking for basic progressive glasses to see near and far.

42

Again, allow my sharing, I started exploring progressive lens in late thirties. Personally I have experienced with those value for money to those beyond 4 digits progressive lens. From consumer buying perspective, I do agree we should not spend too much on a pair of progressive lens. More importantly, I would suggest you need a pair with "wide view" progressive lens. It definitely enhances your journey of wearing progressive lens. But again, it is up to individual expectation. For me, I need a crystal clear view and strictly no distortion. Hope it helps.

Hmmm that seems about off..
Based on the age group, I believe your presbyopia should be +1.00/+1.25.

300 for frame and lenses.., I believe neighbourhood shops might have some packages for the price range. Or else you can consider lenskart/owndays.

but if you like to take a step in but not pay too much, I suggest getting a digital/antifatigue lens with their max addition and then try it out. Lenses like hoya sync 3, Zeiss digital lenses or Essilor eyezen. These lenses based on your prescription of about -0.25 and -0.75/-1.00 should be fine.

For those who are wearing progressive lenses, did you all get it right the first time, or did you have to go through at least one round of remade? Can also share details of how did your optician perform the eye test for you?

The reason I'm asking is, I just had my first pair of progressive lenses made and I am still unable to read sharp with both eyes at the same time even after 2 rounds of remade.

My optician only conducted a very brief eye test with the eye chart which was completed in maybe 15-20mins? I wasn't shown the red/green colour charts for comparison, and no lights shone through the eyes either which I thought should be part of a basic eye test?

Of course it could be my eyes have some underlying issues that are causing the inaccurate fitting. But I thought the experience could be better if the optician could be more thorough with the examination.

The shop that I went to is a highly recommended one in the East and the lens model is Hoya Lifestyle 3 or 3i (L3UM8VG-HS5 S5G SHV3) which I paid about $1100 excluding frame.

It will be great if anyone can recommend an optical shop which conducts a more comprehensive eye test (e.g., pressure check or fundus photography). Thanks!
