The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

Well for 1.76 index compared to 1.74 lenses outside. I think it’s a good steal for its price. They are not a bad brand honestly.
You can Go for it

Okay thanks for sharing bro! Do you know if there is a difference between Tokai outside and Paris Miki one? As they call it their in house brand so I'm wondering if there is a production/quality difference hence the cheaper price now.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

I believe they buy the lenses in big order so to them, cost is cheaper. Otherwise no difference in quality.

anyone know why my spec always sit crooked on my face even after adjustment. I have 1 ear higher up than the other

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

When you put the frame on the table, is it straight with all 4 points touch the table?

yes 10 kkj

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

That means the adjustment wrong already. One high one Low ears means must adjust the the leg which is resting on the higher ear. Thus your frame will never be balanced.

If resting 4 points all balanced means adjust like never adjust lol

yes 10 kkj

Hi all - I am exploring my first pair of progressive lenses. Do you know about the quality of the house branded lenses of OWNDAYS and Lenskart.sg? They both have regular and wider field lenses - I am considering the latter. Thank you.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

First pair... I suggest getting from zeiss or hoya since they are still having their lens promo.

Hoya dynamic summit to dynamic premium.

Zeiss... free upgrade tier.

Not sure about Zeiss, but for Hoya, I was told the promotion ended last Monday by two shops. Maybe it's not true or many some other shops still running this promo, but please check..

Hi GANSTERKIA and all,

Thanks. Would also like to get your opinion on my situation. I am having both myopia and presbyopia and am able to read books and mobile phones without glasses. That is how I am surviving with single-vision lenses. Is it really worth considering progressive lenses?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Hmm if that’s the case I believe your power is someone around -1.50 to -3.00 ish?

You can survive with single vision, but do you feel any headaches and all towards end of day? Includes temple aching/suan.

Also if you are between 35-42 can alr consider digital lens/anti fatigue. But if older, just start off with progressives better.

Hoya extended to 4th oct. grab it while it’s still there!
Those 2 shops maybe.....

Thanks again. My current prescription is about -3.75. There might be some temple tightening at the end of the day. Age is 50+. So I guess your recommendation is to start off with progressive lenses?

Since I can read books without glasses, would the near-field degree for my progressive lenses be about zero?

Will never know. At that time, they said they dunno if it will be extended or not cus they said it was already extended once. So just decided to pay the deposit and commit. Now just waiting for the lens to come back.

It was a good promo on the free upgrade.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Oh wow,
If that’s the case, your presbyopia level should be around 225 or 250. Please don’t do the full presbyopia power at once. If 250 go 225. If first time wear progressive and one shot full presbyopia power, you will experience the peripheral distortion very badly.
I recommend a good progressive lens to start with to be safe haha

Don’t worry! Trust your practitioner.
