I was considering that design in the video but it's way too similar to my last Armani pair.

Heard the carvings on the nose bridge on the OP are hand crafted. Really nice!

hi guys,

i purchase a crizal prevencia in JB yesterday... how do i ensure that it is the real thing? i google and found that it should come with a certificate of authenticity and there is a fog mark when hot air is blown towards the lens?

anyway i made this lens for 700RM (about $270+) and my eyesight is around 800+ astig 225 each. Good price?

About there, usually if you do with frame, the shops will give you a discount.

For Crizal lenses, when there is condensation on the lens, will be able to see the "Crizal" marking (so much for anti-fog... ), but if the frame is small, then the marking can be cut off partly or wholly.

Go to a shop that you trust. The card doesn't mean anything, really, I can send you one if you want.

$170.00 Crizal Prevencia 1.56
$220.00 Crizal Prevencia 1.60
$230.00 Crizal Prevencia Airwear 1.60
$320.00 Crizal Prevencia 1.67

RRP for 2014. Note that new price list will come out in 2015.

Paris Miki is generally known for the good service and good treatment of staff (e.g. having two shifts in a day instead of working long hours).

It depends on what brands you are looking for. Why not just take a walk around and see if you can find something you like - no harm browsing, right? There are so many optical shops in Singapore.

Ah yes, the Mykita frames. Go ahead and do your spectacles there, they are a pretty good shop!

Hi all , i got a pair of oakley frame .can recommend where to make lens ? Thanks

Walk into any shop and just get it done trust your instincts.

You could find a shop that has the edging machine in the shop so they will cut the lenses into your frame themselves, instead of sending it to the lab (where things can break or go missing).

Any one can recmd plastic frame with tortoise net design? Tag heuer gt or nt? Need them as light as possible

Tortise shell design? Walk into a mid-range shop and ask for Pescara. Korean frames, Ultem lightweight material.

At an old neighbourhood shop with stocks of old models.
