You think can push it under 300 so a 10% discount, or is that still too little.
Haha it’s really up to your practitioner and your “gam-ness”/rapport with them. Just try your luck bargain abit more with them. But do rmb sometimes they cannot give too much maybe because of rent, overhead etc…

Not possible. It’s like you go to a game shop and ask 50% of ps5 or 50% of a rolex if you get the analogy.
Some form of profit has to be made still.

Yeah, just joking.

But I believe their profit margins for the manufacturer should be pretty high. I know of a company in Aussie who produce industrial goods, their profit margins for their products is at least 3x of the consumer price.

Hi if I work long hours at the screen and currently experiencing fatigue would blue cut or anti fatigue lenses be better?

Thanks for your response!

I'm hoping to spend no more than 600. I had Swiss flex and Oakley before.

Very tempted to get Lindberg but it really depends on my Finance Minister and whether it fits my lifestyle.

Initially I wanted to recommend you Oakley limit switch or lizard. Lindberg is really on another level and comfort. I used mine for sports and daily wear, but as you mentioned, your finisher minister will play a big role hahaha.

Ah yes, it might possible. With a basic pair of lenses.. it just might. But with a Lindberg, usually it can last for Afew years thus very well worth its price and comfort that the frame gives.
tbh I would say a safe range would be about 900. Depending on your prescription of course.

Ah ok. Bummer. Minister ain't going to be too happy with that. Any recommendation? I stay in the East. Is Paris Miki OK? Free Hoya lens with Oakley. But 1.6. My degrees are less 400 plus for right and 200 plus for left. Astigmatism not too high.

Maybe you can look at yellows plus or eyevans. High quality frames too, in the range of about 500+ Coupled with lenses based on 1.6 index about 600 plus?
you can look towards jamco at katong shopping centre. But do call and make an appt before heading down. They have many other nice frames too so you might even find a better model which suits your activities.

Also what’s the price range I should be expecting for full rim titanium frames?
Somewhere between 780-830(before discount). Using an antifatigue lens like Essilor eyezen, Hoya sync 3, or Zeiss energizeme would be good for you too as it has firstly, blue light filter and a slight power shift at the bottom of the lenses to relax your eyes when you are doing more near work.

Ok I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the recommendations. Lens only how much would it cost, power about 350 both sides
