sho many elites. :(
only wear Giodano or Uniqlo jeans. :(

I'm clearing my wardrobe. Plenty of normal to luxury jeans for sale. Guess, William Rast and Habitual. Check my carousell or my threads.

okay, back to specs.

I don't know if anybody will suggest the same, but I think it will be cheaper to go JB to do your zeiss lenses. My friend goes to this shop at Pelangi Plaza.

if too cheap, confirm fake.
but even if its selling expensive, also can be fake.
check the reviews (but then again, tiagong some reviews are also fake! as in paid to write reviews).
be very careful when buying stuff from taobao.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion, mate. I guess the temptation got the better of me. I read the review of the seller and they are highly suspicious also. How can something that is selling for $500 to $1k yet selling for SGD$50 only.

TQ !

Transitions lenses with anti-fogging properties

My prescription reads

___SPH CYL AX
R -0.50 -0.75 112
L -0.75 0.00 0

My frame is titanium frameless, can it be fitted with Transitions lenses with anti-fogging properties?

definitely no problems...and also no need to get too high index because degree is low.

What are my options with a $400 budget?

R - 475 -1.00 x20
L - 475 -1.00 x135

I went to Pearl Optical and they quoted me ~$300 just for 1.74 lens alone, didn't mention any brand :O

Ur degree 1.67 is enough. 1.74 overkill.

How often u guys buy new specs? I only recently need to wear due to astig. But since then, i hv bought at least 1 pair a yr. Now into my 4th yr of wearing, n i jus bought a pair at kwong shin.

I hv put my mind to buy an oakley. But when it comes to deciding, i couldnt get myself to pay close to 500 for it. In the end to a cheaper brand wif crizal. Total 380.
