Anybody know where selling superdry spec?
Or who is the agent for superdry in singapore

Can try the spec shop in international plaza 2nd floor. Forgot the shop name. But I do see they carry superdry frame when I visit them last week.

are they similar to seiko lenses, which try as much as possible to maintain your current eyesight degree as much as possible and anti-astig?

thanks for the recommendation though!

seiko cannot make it, hoya also have QC problems, dump these two.

Carl Zeiss is the Best la.

Brothers, please forgive me. Forgive & Forget. I just realised my grave mistake. Even if you have no moolah, please save & hoot CZ instead becos all the rest really sucks.

Hi All,

I'm looking to make a pair of specs. I work in IT line so i'm looking at those computer screen lenses. I believe only hoya and crizal (prevencia) have it.

Is the computer lens worth it? Or better to get the clear/normal carl zeiss?

Not really into transitions.

my budget is around $400-$500 for a new pair of glasses, which brand of frame and lens should i get? preferably something that allows me to maintain my current degree and has anti-astig properties as well, cos i work infront of a laptop most of the time.

Hope to get a thin lens as much as possible too, my degree is around 400-450 for each eye.

Huh then wat u want? All go online spec shops all can toh already. But honestly owndays too cheap to be true. Duno wat lens they use. Sure goyak v fast.

Carl zeiss lens the best la they got new duravision platinum coating like not bad can fight with hoya liao. This hoya huh really getting complacent liao & lazy, website taking so long to update. U go zeiss sg website see see look look sharing so much info and knowledge.

Quality frames are hard to come by. See good one must invest for the long term la.

hello guys, thought this thread would be the best place to ask the following question :o

do we really need spectacle hooks during NS? i bought a pair to fit on the specs and the hooks eventually gave way and split into half at the top. the end of the specs are thicker than the other parts of the specs.

During my time confirm need coz most of the time we kena knock it down, my spectacle don't really stay on my face when I am facing the ground. :s22:

What do you guys think about nanyang optical? I have a $30 voucher for nanyang optical and thinking of making a new spec as well.

The last time I made my spec at chew's optics at teck whye lens alone close to $100 due to my high astig. Thinking of making half frame/frameless this time, any recommendation?

Bro.... I love my new tag heuer frame. Very light, sturdy and wont slip. I believe i found the perfect frame. :)

But i am using crizal lens, dun feel any difference as compared to hoya which i hav been using for the last few frames.
