They should provide you with a lens authenticity card and also the engraving of the lens will state the lens you are getting. Show you an example tomorrow

Thanks bro, you can send me the example thru PM also can.

Latest acquisition...mine 8th pairs of spec.. 3rd pair of Oakley.. $10x with 1.61 lenses..

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

You see under the light got the circle and some values? It shows the type of lens you have, the corridor , brand and the index(material)

Thanks bro, you can send me the example thru PM also can.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Pearl's?! Haha rest assured. In good hands for sure. They are one of the best!

hEWy;111024944]I’m 30+, went to Pearl’s Optical? I don’t think I can do progressive lens - all the shops don’t recommend me that as they say progressive will give me more problem in seeing?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Btw we don't have starck anymore:/

Depends on what frames u want. Certain brands like starck not many shops in sg selling i think his shop is one of the last few. I dont see many selling starck nowadays. Just like tagheuer frames also fading away in the spec mkt. Nowadays korean brands are the hot cakes but i hope koreans can make better quality. Cheap ones dont last.

I was quoted 250 for Crizal Transition lens in Spect hut but another shop quote me 450 for the same lens.. May I know how come there is such a huge difference?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Yours is full frame? Half frame or frameless?

Yoz bro.. that was just for the lens.. the frame haven't counted in yet.. So I want to know what is the market price of the transition lens before i make my specs.. Do you have any idea?

[GANGSTERKIA]

Oh because the price of the lens depends on the frame too. Half frame/frameless must use polycarbonate material/trivex or at least 1.6 index lenses. So coupled with transition it might reach that price. BUT, if the frame not even chosen then at that price...is your degree high?
With these Info so far, I believe the price change due to the different index of the lenses.

Bro, I just got my loot..

It says ZEISS Single Vision AS 1.67 Photofusion Grey DuraVision BlueProtect -> Is this a good one?

Oh what's wrong with your frame? And what brand? Certain brand must send overseas thus will be more expensive to service if not under warranty. 650 probably is good one so don't worry! Reputable shop won't cheat you all wont(but doesn't mean non reputable will cheat.)
You are in good hands don't worry!

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Oh no wonder, duravision blue protect with photo fusion!!! Yeah it's very good(the lenses) and your frame looks really chic too man!

[GANGSTERKIA]

Oh bro should be superb Asiana! Not individual but good enough for a single vision lens.
Nowadays hard to service starck so lucky you to get it repaired haha. Backend side to send to get it repaired quite a hassle but we still do it or else frame wasted

[GANGSTERKIA]

Sorry bro missed your post, price wise will check for you tomorrow. Off today with a 500 to 600 plus degree, I would recommend a 1.67, but if Budget is an issue then 1.60 is fine. Just take note the bigger the frame you choose, the bigger the lens will be thus weight mightttt be slightly affected.

Hi Gangsterkia.. May I check how much is a transition lenses from Hora and Zeiss? My degrees is around 500 plus to 600.. so do I need a 1.6 or 1.67 lenses? Thanks in advance..

Guys
Is 1.74 index suitable for rimless glasses ?
Many years ago the optical shop said 1.74 is brittle and not suitable
Has anything changed ?
I’m around 4.50 for myopia and 1.5 for astig and looking to install 1.74 in a silhouette rimless
Thanks

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

They are right. It is indeed thinner but not suitable. 1.67 is the most suitable. For your power also don't need 1.74, 1.60/air wear/tricep/1.67(best). 1.74 material on the contrary of being tougher, it's also brittle like a 1.56.
A 1.67 will look good with a polished edge finishing!

Hi all. My portfolio recently expanded and Im required to meet client (high tier private banking field) where a clean and honest face have to be there.

My face shape is similar Anthony Wong (Hong Kong actor), abit chubby.

I know I can't wear Oliver people or Moscot specs as they are mostly round. Whereas oakley crosslink are very sporty and not suitable for my needs.

Can someone recommend me what to look at? A lot of specs shop I went to, are carrying oakley , ray bans. Need something that can portray seriousness and classy

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

I believe frames like Porsche, starck, mykita, icberlin or Lindberg would be able to give you kind of look you would like to portray...
