Am in the market to get a new pair of specs, currently wearing a 1.67 Photofusion.

Not going to do transitions this time round, but am looking for freeform customized lenses. Read about the Hoya Nulux HVLL versus the ZEISS i.Scription + DuraVision Platinium lenses. Also on the "blue wave lenses", would these give a yellowish tint on the lenses?


Any suggestions on which is better, and on pricing? Probably around 500 degrees with 150-200 astig.


Lastly, any recommendations on places on opticians?

I made my last pair at observer in ionetwo Katong . Yesterday was at their Bugis shop and look tempting ...

Only set back is when i told the Chio Bo sales gal the price of progressive lens, she does not even understand what is progressive Len! That really puts me off!

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase crizal preventi a lense.
Anyone who has gotten this lens can provide some feedback or cons? If take photo will capture the blue/purplish hue on the lense?

Any recommended shops in the west area with good selections of frames (modern sleek korean look design)?

Observer has very trendy design which will be suitable for your taste, I dun think they have shop in the west but head down to Bugis junction. Worth a visit.

500 plus for ur 1.74 crizal rx lenses. They can fit ur 300 plus astig haha.
U can always try zeiss lenses with their aspherical designs. Or even u opt for those customised lenses which is good for your high astigmatism. Highly recommend. Quite costly though

whats the cheapest option for a 1.67 lens.
800 degrees for both ard 200 astig. Anti blue light would be a bonus since i work at the computer almost 24/7. Have been changing glasses every other year and the price is taking its toll on me...settling for something cheap now.
