Do you think hitop lenses can work for rimless? I want to try rimless as a second pair of specs, but don’t want to spend so much on lens for when it breaks/chips.

Can lar. Whether hi top or hoya, all can be made for rimless. U handle with care lor should be fine.

Getting a new frame would be better, once broken and repaired, that area might be all patched up but durability is not like the initial..

But quite far. At holland. Actually is it better to repair or just get a new frame?

What if its not broken, just heavily scratched and frame colour faded. Can just do re-painting and buy another 10 or more years time? I also have problem finding frames i truly like nowadays.

hi guys,

a noob question - suppose you bought a lens which is 1.67

how do you verify that it is really 1.67 and not 1.6?

Hi,

1.67 would be better, Steffan are quite thin, so 1.6 would be quite obvious in thickness.

Cheap high astigmatism... I think can still look at those shop I recommended before. I can let you know who to look for.

Edit:Cheaper lens, you can look for 1.67 extender cyl OSS lens.

$490 for a Braun Buffel half frame + Hoya Nulux 1.74 (Chose 1.74 as my degree is high at 700) at New China Opticians. Is the price okay?
