The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

[GANGSTERKIA]

I do encounter issues like this. There are times these happen but it's under the lens company to replace for you as there's warranty for the lens.
Many factors for fine lines, tissue clean, clothing clean, micro Fiber cloth never wash and clean..but cannot exactly pinpoint. Fines lines usually shouldn't be multicoating issue but the discolouration probably!

had bad experience, less than 1 year i see fine lines, bring back to shop they say the coating has problem..

anyone of u has such experience before?

Oh Seiko lenses are not too bad. Summit Phoenix is trivex material. If it's true form mean either trueform premium or summit trueform. Not the id/trinity range as it's under summit series. If you want to take it down a notch, instead of trueform series, go just one level down to the summit series.
They tier themselves like airplane seats. Economy-summit series premium economy-trueform series business-id lifestyle/FD and first class-trinity and ID(standalone). There's a hidden one for the more luxurious few which is the mystyle(fully customised) and minimal distortion.

In your case, economy series of summit will suffice! But take note once you drop, reading area will be narrower and distance might not be as sharp as compared to a trueform one.
Hope this helps !

Hi Bro Gangsterkia,

I bought a frame online and wish to make a progressive lens locally, currently I am using Hoya Summit Phoenix True Form(??) and I also have another progressive lens using in-house brand by made at another optical shop, it is using Seiko lens. I am thinking to bring down the cost of making another progressive lens. Where can get it fixed? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Hoya is simply expensive as compared to Seiko. Also, I find it strange to have Hoya on an ordinary or non-branded frame?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Haha not surprising. Some shops only have this/that amount of Brand’s. But to support them, can always buy a frame from somewhere and go back make lens from them! Seiko is under Hoya too! Same as stellify and Pentax.

Hi Gangsterkia,
Didn’t know Seiko is under Hoya too! Maybe I shall try to make over the causeway? Any idea, would it be cheaper as Singapore seems to be expensive. Thank you very much.

Don’t have to be branded but I was thinking branded would be more durable and tend to not leave marks on the nose area.

What Korean ones would you recommend?

Hi,

I've been reading around the past 10 pages about the different lens and frames.. Just wondering, if my L/R degree is about 2.25 both the same, with 0.5 astig on one side, is there a obvious difference between a 1.6 and 1.67 index?

Looking for some rectangular frames, any recommendations on where's a place with reasonable pricing? I'm currently on Monoqool frame, and i've been loving it since. Can't find the frame anywhere else though.

Hi GANGSTERKIA

May I know if the optics shop you working at carry Ray-Ban Specs?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Hi good afternoon, unfortunately my workplace doesn't carry raybans. Sorry!

Hi GANGSTERKIA

May I know if the optics shop you working at carry Ray-Ban Specs?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

To the first half of your qns, nope! No difference. 1.6 is good enough. Don't need spend too much on a 1.67. And 1.67 also requires a certain amount of minimum degree to do which Is -3.00 and above. 2.25 just stick to 1.6.

To the second part... it really depends. Many shop have these style that you looking for..can't really pinpoint as it's too large already your frame you looking for.. haha

Hi not sure if this the right place to ask but

I just bought a Ray-ban eyeglasses for the first time (yay?), problem is that the type i bought is not listed in the Ray-ban sg website (mine is a RB7124D) but the shop that i bought is listed as part of the Certified Resellers on their website so was wondering if the Ray-ban Service centre would be able to maintenance or repair my Ray-ban eyeglasses?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Was there any official receipt given to you? To state that the rayban you bought was from that shop?

More like a collection receipt with written handwriting on it & a stamp "PAID" on it
