The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

[GANGSTERKIA]

what do you all do with old spectacles? still 7/10 condition, but the power is off by 50 or 100 degrees

Use as spare pair(change to cheaper lenses), or keep as backup albeit older prescription.

Hi Gangsterkia,

Hi, I would have to suggest that firstly you use a
1.74 index lens,
Small round frame if possible
Probably using a digital lens like,
1)Hoya sync 3(free promo upgrade to sync 3 pro)
2)Essilor crizal Eyezen
3)Zeiss digital lens

Hi @GANGSTERKIA, while reading Hoya website, I read about Nulux classic, EP and nulux v+ can share your view about their differences?
Also what are the differences between their sensity and sensity dark?
Are the lenses made by hoya good compared to Tokai and zeiss?

Hey,
Nulux classic is just the basic aspheric lens(thinner).
Nulux EP is a double aspheric lenses thus it will be even thinner(recommended for individual with very high power)
Nulux V+ is a aspheric lens(best tier SV lens) ironically best but not double aspheric, but they are able to compensate for individuals with high astig,anisometropia etc(fully customised).
Sensity dark allows the lenses to turn dark even in the car(as car wind screen has UV protection so standard photochromic lenses doesn’t change darker in the car)
Yes they are good compared to other lenses in the market, though each Brand’s have their pros and cons.

Hey there,
Haha, depending on what are the brands, premium wise, there are many categories too ranging from 300-400++ to 700-800+.. unless you have the names of the brand it would be easier for us to give you a slight figure.

Hi Gangsterkia , is oakley frames long lasting?

And also i had recently made a pair of specs at one of the shop you recommended me.
After my eyetest the optician said my eyesight had not changed but when i was seeing through my current specs i can notice i am unable to see the far object clearly.

Will a old lense cause such issue or should i inform them after I collect my specs this weekend?

Hi! I'm looking to head to KJ Optometrists at Plaza Sing to get new specs. Late 20s, stare at computer / read all day. Any recommendation for lenses? Would it be good to also have those transition coating for the sun? Thanks man!

Hi, there are Afew options like Hoya sensity, Essilor transition 8, Zeiss photofusion.
I would suggest maybe antifatigue lenses like Hoya sync 3, Essilor Eyezen or Zeiss digital lenses.
If you need someone to look for over there I can recommend you.

Yes they actually are, however it also depends on how well we handle them.
Old lenses may actually cause such issue when there are micro scratches or when the multicoat has peeled off causing the clarity of lenses so suffer.
Give your new glasses a try first!

Hi, Making my 1st set of progressive glasses. The optician recommended me to go with Zeiss Smartlife. Would like to check what is the estimated cost for Zeiss Progressive Smartlife. Is this suitable for 1st timer ?

Hey there, it ranges from 500+++ onwards. yes they are suitable for 1st time wearers too.
There are a few tiers for Zeiss progressives(smartlife)
-precision pure(entry)
-precision plus(Asiana)
-precision superb
-individual 2(best)
I did not included Zeiss light 3D inside as I don’t sell that often in the past as I prefer giving the higher tier lenses for comfort.

With those lights in the tunnel , I find it quite blurry but my eye degree has been stable over the years .. Any lens to recommend too?

Hey,

I would suggest going down to Millenia walk Eyes@work. They have really capable Practitioners who are able to recommend you the lenses and frame to match.

Well, if it’s lenses, actually many shops carried wide range of them.
But if you mean frames, depending on where you go haha, they also have their ranges.
I am not exactly very familiar with them, so I can suggest/comment much! Sorry!
