Hi all,
Is KJopto ok to visit to get a pair of zeiss lens..?

Yeah! Reputable shop!

 

[thegardens3b]

Essilor Varilux and Zeiss progressive lenses, which one is better? Zeiss is more expensive than Essilor?

I wouldn’t say any one better than the other… depends on if you have any experience with them. Essilor has another catalogue which is Nikon which is higher tier

my daughter recently pulled my specs and the hinge snapped

any recommendations for a spec that doesn't snap, indestructible and light?

what brand?

no particular brand.. think the material is called Ultem (PEI)
extremely light and flexible. Think owndays has it too, but seems to be v thin. The one i got is from neighborhood shop, thicker like normal plastic frame.


Can see how flexible and bendy it is from this video
