Sorry to ask but why need to install nosepad if the frame already comes with a nosepad? Or do you mean plastic frames?

Some plastic frames dont come with nosepads, customer like the design alot, but nose abit flat.
We send in to make nosepads, so they can wear it

Zeiss Individual 2 1.50 Photofusion is $1390
If you don't need the brand Zeiss, then another japanese brand with similar progressive design will cost way less.

Zeiss is expensive for the middle class peeps. But should be ok for the rich.

Oic. To me i feel that adding on nosepad on plastic frame destroys the feel. Maybe im old fashioned or wat but i believe plastic frames should be left without the metal nosepads to look "right".

I feel the same way too. Until I found this design on nosepad by 47 trading. It complements the acetate frames quite well

I have more images from the pairs that I just sent

Most important thing when wearing a pair of spectacles is comfort

Hi all,
I've been looking for a new pair of hingeless spectacle frame. I got my current pair from Owndays years ago, but they apparently don't sell such frames anymore. To be clear, these are frames where the rim and temple are one continuous piece of metal, so you can't fold them as you would regular spectacles, but the temples are very flexible and bendy.

The ones I've seen online don't seem all that durable. I'm hoping someone here has seen them being sold somewhere so I don't have to go from shop to shop. Thanks.

Hi how is Carl zeiss lens? Does it scratch easily. I was quoted $650 for myopia 1000 deg, and 500 astig. High index 1.74. Is it considered ripped off? Thank you.
