The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

I see taobao got shop selling frame + zeiss lenses with prescription for 80 sgd nia. The merchant say can scan qr code to verify authenticity and if I can prove it is fake will compensate me x4 the selling price.

Zeiss got so cheap 1? I can choose between 德国蔡司 非球面镜片 or 德国蔡司 防蓝光镜片

I have never seen a QR code given by Zeiss before. Usually is the prescription card only, that we give out to customers when they request for authenticity. There’s also a Zeiss logo on every Zeiss lenses.

The merchant clarified it is a sub of zeiss called synchrony

Actually you don’t necessarily have to go to an eye clinic or hospital for this matter, you can go to any optical stores who has an Optometrist that provide retinal imaging services if you wish for a more comprehensive examination some of these places also have a slit lamp to check for cataracts and also a eye pressure machine to check for glaucoma etc. can call in to places to ask!

If your Zeiss digital lenses are starting to become blurry recently for near, it’s likely that you may need just to increase the reading power too.

this is a good point, but most don't know which have the retinal imaging

actually sinkieland very jialat, primary eye care services should start at the optometrists

dunno wat happen to pap head

Depends on the type of features that you want your progressive lenses to have. What’s your degree like?

If your degree is high, and the lenses you want are high index to make them thinner, or with transitions etc, those would add on to the cost.

Nice. Lindberg n.o.w series are one of the most popular and have the one of the widest customisations available.

If you like the frame to be even thinner, yes then you can go for thintanium or rim titanium next

Hi all! I currently wear a pair of Owndays with progressive lenses.

I am looking to make a new pair with my updated presbyopia situation.

I know Zeiss are highly regarded and recommended here but wonder if there are any affordable brands/models that you can recommended for progressive lenses besides Zeiss?

Also any shops that does reading glasses?

Exploring both options.

My thanks in advance!
