Any suggestions for semi round horn rimmed glasses? Would prefer a lens height of at least 45mm and was looking at the moscot miltzen, but the rim just seems slightly thick for my preferences. Thanks!

Thanks. The frames typically retail for $800+?

700-800+ depeding on the series e.g. acetanium, N.O.W, Rim, Air titanium...

If you are feeling rich, you can look for their UNICA horn series which is a horn design even more unique then the usual ones. The texture and colour is different from the normal buffalo horn design.

Really looks good!

1. What is the main difference between Hoya Mystyle and Zeiss Individual 2? Can’t find much info on them.

2. How’s Silhouette frame as compared to the Lindberg for Asians?

Just to add, I like Lindberg as it is light, simple and elegant. I have commissioned my first pair at Jamco. Like their service(not related to them) and the wide range of collection. Lindberg’s Horn series is nice and unique but the price of the frame alone already scares me off. I just got anorher pair of acetanium from overseas.

Hey,

The answer to your question is that for Mystyle, A questionaire/survey will be done to out your detailed needs e.g. time spent indoor/outdoor, computer/reading priority and more. All these info will be sent to the lab making the lenses. Also the practitioner themselves will be able to customize the lens to what they know will make the lens not too thick/suitable for the frame.

Individual 2 is similar to mystyle minus the digital survey.

Both are really good lens just that based on customer's feedback, they feel that mystyle is better.

2) Sil frames are light(frameless) and comfortable, Lindberg do have their own frameless too. However main difference is in the washers holding the arms of the frame to the lenses. Sil are using those plastic washer with a Hard/Soft plastic design(if practitioners are not sure which to use, it might impact the tightness and durability of the washers). Lindberg on the other hand does not require any washer, the design is such that the arms are slotted into the lens and UV-glued dry. Servicing still have to be done after 2 years. No complaints so far though when customers tries either. Usual issue is they love to remove glasses with 1 hand causing 1 side to be loose/bent outward.. not good habit:o

Hope this helps!

Hi All, a query on Zeiss Single Vision Lenses.

What will be the main difference between Individual and Superb tier? And is it worth it to get Individual over Superb?

Thanks!

one is more customised than the other which takes into consideration your lifestyle factors.
if you prefer sharper optics and a more personalised pair of lenses, it would be good.
worth it or not , its up to you to decide ;)
