The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

[Seannie]

Need to adjust the temple tips, nose pads and frame front(slightly since it's horn). How does it fit on you? Are the temple tips in skin contact with your head? And the nosepad sitting? Will show you an example of a good fit later.

Mine doesn't slide at all.. adjustment very impt.

Waiting for your example.

Depends on consumers mindset.
Take eating at restaurants for example.
People who can afford, want the luxury, want service and ambience, paying that amount is reasonable for them.
To those that usually eat hawker, they would feel eating at restaurant is not 'worth'. For what it is worth, really depends on how you view it.

Relate back to eyewear, branding of the glasses is already there. The shops selling it are just selling at the RRP to make a profit. You think they really earn alot from selling it? The cost price of the glasses also cost. They got to factor in so many other aspects in order to charge a 'reasonable' price for the consumer. If you can afford, buy. Can't, then don't buy branded... Simple.....

Thanks.
The optician said this is better for me before getting the progresssive lens.

And much cheaper.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

You can consider it a stepping stone before using progressive, it works the same way and another way to term it, an anti fatigue lens because of the addition power at the lower area of the lens.
Good choice for early presbyopes(Lao Hua usually comes around 35 onwards) and younger children(to relax accommodation when doing near work).

I think my eye fatigue comes from mobile phone.
Ever since I spend more time on the phone.
I realised my eyes get tired easily.

And if I look away from the phone. My eyes feel more relax.
But if I spend time replying email from phone.
My eyes get tired again.

Perhaps that is the reason why my eyesight worsen

I know what you need. You need a 4k monitor, at least 27inch!
Go. 4K!

[valentinotan]

hi, wonder if anyone have any suggestions here.

i have a pair of lens which are quite new but the frame broke.

is it possible to make rimless specs with that lens?

Hi Gangsterkia do you still carry authentic mykita frames? Between icberlin and mykita, which is more reliable? What are their price ranges these days?

I find european frames more suit me, are such hinge-less frames still in fashion?. Thanks

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Good evening. Yes my workplace do still carry mykita.But the ranges not as much as before. Between both that I handled so far, honestly both are equally durable and hardy but I am leaning towards icb more. Price range depends from 400-800.(ballpark figure) depending on model and how New is the frame.

Regarding point 2, yes screwless has never left the building! Always a classic. Maybe you can consider Lindberg too.

Sadly we do not carry icb..

I strongly suggest against it as the focal point might be off causing disruption to your vision.(blurry,dizziness,unclear vision at certain points). Best bet is find same exact frame or a smaller frame so you can get the shop to fit the lenses in(focal point might still be slightly off)

Can i know what is price range of lindberg? Is lindberg horn better than metal, as in real horn and light? What is good shops that dont carrot head?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Different series of Lindberg has their own price range though. Expect at least 600 and above.

The horn at the frame front is laminated.The horn actually ages along with the wearer as times pass, Colour will change thus it's almost impossible to find 2 same design horn. Refer to my previous post regarding traveling wearing a horn too.Depending on your preference, I personally prefer horn though i am guilty of having a metal rim Lindberg myself too. As Long as its light, it's fine.

Go to Lindberg exclusive retailers and horn retailers. Prices cannot really be mark too Low or too high as it will be checked. Shops that sells them won't chop carrot head, lens wise just make sure its from the price list then you be safe. Hope it helps!
