The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

+1 to that. In the past, I would recommend the horn wearers to drop by once a year to let us service their frame. Mine was quite dry as I wanted to “aged” it thus I polish it at longer intervals.

Not yet... have not seen the one I like unfortunately.

Personally, I feel we need to be gentle when handling all types of frames? The staff said my horn looks "new" when I sent back to the optical shop for polishing and waxing. Probably, I rotate it? But I always handle with care for all my Lindberg.

PS: Gangsterkia, did you hoot your Unica Horn? Haa

Sorry man, I haven handled bamboo, so I can’t answer that. Generally when it’s cold , it cause the natural materials to be “drier/aged/feeble” not sure if it’s put that way, thus the natural porous frame would lose its integrity over time.
So I am more careful with my horn too.

Means bamboo material will suit colder countries right? As bamboo cannot get wet.

No you don’t diy it yourself unless you have the proper tools and wax. Soap might cause the horn to discolour. Wipes like alcohol wipes might cause the horn to dry up faster thus breaking easier.
Generally, using non alcohol wipes to clean the frame front, then using wax to polish then horn. There’s also a certain technique to do it.
To be frank, I might leave my current workplace due to certain reasons, thus maybe I can recommend you to another shop that can handle such frames well?

Yes pls - can u recommend another shop for the time being? And ur new shop when u join?

Thanks!

Any good advice on how to best adapt to progressive lens for new users?

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Hi,

Wearing it in the morning when your eyes is at it’s freshest.
Do not make too fast head movements e.g. left to right gaze.
Eyes roll down to read better, tilt up chin slightly to see computer screens better.
Chin down when walking up elevated surfaces, look through top side of lenses when doing that.

Hope this helps!

Hi, pls allow me to add, watch the steps/stairs when you are descending from a bus or staircase. As for a start and in fact a while only, you may just unintentionally miss a step. Take care.

I do notice there is a difference when you invest a "good" progressive lens. No flaming. I have no issue when I started with Hoya "truth form" (couldn't remember the name) many years back. It was as if you view it as normal partly due to the viewing area is wide. It is neither distorted nor tapered somewhere.

How good the progressive lens every 3 years also need to replace? Due to increase in lao hua?

 

[geegeeliao]

I just made a new spectacle with the same prescription as my current glasses.
Is it normal to have a “floating” feeling when wearing the new specs?
As I thought since the prescription are the same, I shouldn’t have the overwhelm feeling.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Your new glasses has nose pads? Or sitting close to your face?
Also your old glasses has nose pads or sitting close to your face?

The position/distance of where your old/new glasses makes a difference. There is this vertex distance, lens to your eyes distance, it can induce some power changes depending on the distance the lens is to your face. Thus the before specs and after specs position best to be similar or it might induce slight dizziness to you.

Usually stabilise after 50-55 for your presbyopia. If you want to change lens then it’s usually cause the lenses are scratched thus not so clear or you might prefer a better or cheaper lens.

Yes both have nose pad. I’ll try to adjust the distance to be similar.
Thanks bro

Let your practitioner do it, don’t diy better.
Also some frame also abit more curve.

But can be adjusted too.

I was able to adapt to my Hoyalux LifeStyle progressive lens immediately. My first time using progressive lens. That said, I mostly use it when I am with my laptop or for meetings. No problem walking or even driving with it.

Got it from JB at a great price. Malaysia boleh

Lifestyle is a higher tier than true form. It’s already really good, but if you try mystyle profile(one level up), lagi more solid.

Sad face as msia really alot cheaper.
