Hi Gangsterkia, Need some advice - I have been wearing my first progressive lens for 2 years now . It works great for driving and working on the laptop, but reading I still need to take out the glasses. I can read for short periods but long periods of reading thru the bottom part of the glasses gives me a headache. I think I want to try a basic low cost pair with “wider” reading section, what would you recommend? Please PM me thanks .

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Will get back to you guys at about 430pm

Edit: Pm sent

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.

Sorry if i miss this...but what kind of promo is going on for Zeiss?

All optical shops or selected shops?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Island wide iirc,
1)free upgrade from one tier to another Of progressives e.g. superb to individual, precision pure to asiana

2) free photofusion(transition)

3)free pair of office lens if you buy a progressives

4) get a free single vision with blue protect if you purchase myopia control lenses(kids)

The other 2 I can’t rmb offhand as I am off today too.

Hi Gangsterkia, are you familiar with Zeiss DuraVision Flash mirror lens and Zeiss sports lens ?

Reason for asking is because i see video whereby there is a combination of photofusion + Flash mirror. But i wonder can this combination be apply for the Zeiss sports lens as well ?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Photofusion with mirror is the adaptivesun combination. We don’t really call it photofusion but adaptivesun instead. So the combination is solid tint+dura mirror + adaptivesun.
This is the sports lens combination. Can be done

[i_dun_understand]

Thanks for the info.

Is it possible for sports lens to have clear lens during indoor and dura mirror + adaptivesun during outdoor ?

So far this type of combination i see is mostly on those non-sport frame type.

Nope cnt. Clear lens cnt do that. Only can do photofusion.
Or you can consider hoya sensity shine.

Would love some advice on where to get good testing done - has been a few years since I've tested, and things are getting blurry. Prefer West, but as long as not East is all good.

I stare at screens all day at work, and I'm getting headaches... Suspect I need better lenses.

 

[kokjj87]

Anybody know where is the best and cheapest place to make specs.
Looking for transition signature gen 8. But have astigmatism.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

You can consider central,

First contact lens@Thomson plaza
Eyewear optics@Thomson plaza
Kj optometrist@plaza sing

I omitted the east side places.


Mr eyewear@west mall.

To take note usually there will be consultation-charges for eye test but if glasses are made, these charges will be waived.

Thanks man! I'd check out Thomson. Will make a new pair of glasses while I'm at it.. probably get transitions or digital lenses

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

That’s great to hear!

Always welcome!

[GANGSTERKIA]

You prefer to get back ICB? Or another brand this time? If ICB then I will recommend you to Jamco for sure
