What brand of lenses did you purchase?

I bought 1.67 crizal lens. So just wondering... since naked eye seems like can’t differentiate 1.6 vs 1.67

Oh, then the card shouldn’t have the index unless it’s a rx/customised lens...

i went to visio to get my frame repaired and it was quite good experience. They repaired my nose bridge support within a day and price was $5 lesser then quoted.

i would definitely go to them when i make my eye glasses next time they seem legit good. There was one angmoh whose working inside when i was sitting down to try my eye glasses and he surprised me by saying something about hwz forum. i was stunned lol

visio the Holland Dr one?????
i looking to get a new pair of specs... my degree 4-500-ish... most important is I need good blue light lens (not the cheapo kind from owndays...) , frame doesn't matter to me..

Hi

Location not the consideration. Pls recommend the best optical shops with the best opticians to me. Thanks.

 

[eyz]

these 3 shops is it?

jamco optical at Katong shopping center
Eyewear optics at Thomson Plaza
Kj optometrist at plaza sing

will probably go thomson plaza.

thanks!

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.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Welcome! Do rmb to call and make an appointment before you drop by.
If needed I can pm you who to look for too.

A quick question: I have a few spectacles and some of them have different power lenses (25 difference). If I switch between them daily, will this do any harm to my eyes? Thanks.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

If it’s only -0.25, then likely no issue.

Zoff and lenskart no rimless?! Knn...

Didn’t realize this. Really none at all?

Went to 2 lenskart and 2 zoff outlets, staff all confirmed they don't carry/no longer carry.

Quite surprised that they don’t have it anymore.

 

[GANGSTERKIA]

Correct me if I am wrong, I don’t think their rimless glasses can be done if 30-45 mins yes? Defeats the purpose of the quick quick chop chop sales tactic.
As doing up a rimless glasses does take time and skill, something many new/young opticians/optometrist does not have unfortunately.
The old experience ones might been poached away from them thus over time they have to remove the buying option.

Quite surprised that they don’t have it anymore.
