while zeiss is 100bucks more than crizal and was told by 2 different shop that not much diff between crizal and zeiss. more of how u handle the lens..

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

I can only say, you get what you pay for... hope you get it

But my stand is still the same, if you are not sensitive in clarity all lenses work fine.(don't include progressives)

Guys is there a new rule for oversea purchase?? I ordered from smartbuyglasses.com and they give me this crap... and cant sent the prescription glass over..

"To cope with Singapore import regulation, the SPH should not exceed ±6.00 and CYLINDER should not exceed ±2.00. "

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Yes recently came out. There are more rules too. That is to protect the consumer. Health guidelines..

[Kusanagi]

anyone can recommend place to get branded lenses in JB? like hoya, crizal etc

 

[cherryblossoms]

stuck in choosing between crizal transition vs hoya sensity (transition).

anyonr know if crizal better or hoya?
how is the color difference like?

some say crizal more prone to scratches than hoya. anyone can verify?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Good morning, Colour difference not really much difference even with zeiss. But coating wise, I am leaning towards Hoya(personal opinion).
So far no issues/scratches with my Hoya lenses.

+1. interested in knowing too. with index 1.6 transition

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Well, for clear lenses, 1.5index 100-130 1.6 160-180. Coupled with sensity maybe 100-130 more to each? Prices vary depending on the shop so i cant give u a fixed amount.. just ball park figures.

 

[cherryblossoms]

just checked in city square mall the capitol shop.

crizal transition 310
hoya sensity (transition) 350

both are 1.6 index. lens no disc only frame rayban got 20% disc.

veryvery similar to spec hut etcetc

hi bro, imho, the most comfortable one right now for me is the blue filter lenses. Most lens brand comes with them

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Does blue light filter lens really good for your eyes?

Is it marketing gimmick? It's so expensive.

It does filter/reflect out a certain percentage of blue light.But gimmicks are like(it protects your retina, prevent eye diseases and all). Main purpose is relief stress on eyes and reduce glare because of the slight yellowish hue when you look through the lenses.
which brand are u looking at? depending on your degree, if i base it at -1.00- -3.00. Hoya around 120, Essilor 160, Zeiss 160, shamir 160. Or are you looking at a price thats lower than that? If you are can consider looking at pentax but of course different shop offers different discount.
