The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

[kazekai]

My bad. It’s a material not a coating.
Costing will be more but like a ‘filter’

No problem, thanks for the clarification! Any one has experience between shamir vs tokai vs asahi lite and which optical shops carry them?

I heard that jamco doesn't carry the above lens brand

Do you guys think the tinted lenses are cool or just a trend?

I personally feel it's cool. But probably european countries can accept it more. Look at those celebs e.g. robert downey , in Singapore, people sure say siao wear tinted in the mall...

Eyezone Optical does have tokai and asahi as what they have been posting (video) so far.

Shamir IMO is a decent lens brand with good lens clarity and quality(multi-coat)

Especially their new progressive lens ''Autograph Intelligence'' which is on par with many of the top lenses in the market now...

I'ld suggest going for Blue Filter lenses instead of Blue Coating.

Blue Filter demo:

How much would these lens cost?

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post to, but I shall try my luck.

I have recently gotten a spectacle from Optical 88 with Hoya lens. However, I've encountered issue with one of the lens. When I look at bright lights with the lens, there seem to be a purple dot on it. And if u were to wear it, it will appear right in front of your eye. I have since went back to the optical shop and they sent bsck to Hoya, which they checked and claimed there is nothing wrong with it.

It's hoya stellify 1.55 with blue control lens.

Whenever I look at bright lights, there will be this purple dot right in front of my eye. Is this really normal?

Wanted to post pictures but I realized I do not have enough post count to do so

It is not normal, but it would be best if we can have a look at the pictures. If not, it's too vague to actually tell..

Thanks Joesph for helping!

I was given the letter and told that there I can write to Hoya or bring it to CASE. At one point the staff even told me something like "I told them the customer won't try to prank. If prank, she'd have asked to change both lens". Found it quite amusing to hear that because he was sort of telling me that Hoya thinks I'm a joke.

I don't know. But it's really uncomfortable to have a purple dot right in your eyes when looking at bright lights. I honestly find this not normal. I've been wearing spectacle for many yrs, changed a number of spectacle before and this is my first time encountering such issues.

 

[wishxtreme]

i'll check and update. many diff ranges of pc lenses from different brands.
any frame choices in particular?

I am not looking at frame as i got a 999.9 frame from japan. I just want to do up the lenses. Thanks

 

[hereiam7788]

What Color of the photomatric lenses u guys had chosen? grey, brown or green and why?

 

[EyezoneOpticalSG]

Hi bro,

If im not wrong, HOYA Blue Control lens has a Front surface blue coating.

The purple mark should be a reflection from the front coating, which some people find it disturbing.

I suggest you go for Blue filter lens which has the blue filter properties infused into the material + normal green multi-coating.

I’m using blue control and yes, there’s a blue dot reflection there but it’s not so bad like yours..

Are the photos all taken on the same lenses itself? Or has the lenses been remade in some of them?

 

[shermainee]

All same lens. Actually the dot can be all over the lens. As in if you move, the dot moves around the lens also..

[EyezoneOpticalSG]

It's the front lens reflection, so that's why "As in if you move, the dot moves around the lens also"

Hi all, came across this thread when I was looking for spec shop recommendation.

I'm looking at owndays for now, anybody had experience with owndays?

btw, does anybody happened to know what causes this kind of 'dot scratch'?

Before wash

After wash

Washing the specs remove a significant amount of the 'dot scratches' but after awhile maybe a day or 2, most will appear back. I tried changing the lens at my usual shop and this issue still occurs, suspect I was sold fake lenses.

Hope somebody can confirm

hi, do you know what lenses you are being sold in the first place?

 

[EyezoneOpticalSG]

Do you or anyone in your house uses hair spray?
