their reputation all not good lol long history also no use, some of them are honest good price, never cheat customer but kenna 1-2 black sheep ruin the mall's reputation

there was one shop that sells fakes on the second floor(tiagong raided liao) but because of that people give advice don't buy branded on second level

branded frames aside, I'm more interested in shops with good service. Ones where they really make sure they get your prescription right. Frames wise I always end up with the cheap light ones like those for army anyway.Cheap lens will be a plus since I'll likely replace the lenses on my old frame. Any recommendations?

 

[jervin88]

hahah true to a certain extent. hope the guys going to queensway do find your own trusted shops to shop at!! wish you guys luck

 

[alex22]

But what's a noncarrot price for those newer lenses "which block more blue light spectrum"?
Entry level?

the blue light blocking is just some marketing gimmick. read up on the studies on blue blocker on prevention of eye diseases. it does not help.

To prevent algae growing around the internal of the nosepad, just rinse water and dab dry with a dry cloth right?

I cannot stand my nosepad having any form of algae. hahaha

wash your glasses daily lo. can use diluted mama lemon remove all the oil and ****. but no matter what will grow algae after some time

actually to get your prescription right is very subjective one that is why it is called a subjective refraction. depends on the patients' reply and response. also if you're tired dont come in for an eye exam. also depend on the mood of the optometrists/opticians checking your eye. if you kpkb to the optom/optician from the start then everyone got a foul mood then prescription wrong it's only LLST.

I get a handful number of people coming in telling me what to do. those are the kinds we hate the most. keep asking us to give lower so that their prescription will not go up so fast (especially ah tiongs). but its either you get a correct prescription with clear vision or a lower one requested but blur vision. these type of patients should not even get their eyes tested. they will never be satisfied.

blue light control actually helps in a way if you wanna go into science theory. its not totally targeted at eye disease, or maybe not at all. its more on other minor things that affect daily lifestyle. good example will be new prevencia coating for crizal lenses which actually is different from conventional blue pc lens. prevencia lens does not block out blue light totally like conventional lenses, so if you guys wanna know more pls drop by your shop of choice and ASK! If in doubt, please do not hesitate to walk away or ask for more information.
before we push away a product, lets review it properly first and give it a fair chance. before something hits the market, it must be tested and proven to work for the majority of test subjects especially in companies like essilor or other big companies.
it may all sound like gimmicks to sell, but pls do not stereotype anything. i personally dont like to see stereotyping so i just wanna make it clear here (sorry guys hahhah)

Lol bro I read up extensively in uni about this. Go search up Cochrane review on blue tints. You will know more. I don't believe in the studies they cite in their product brochures. All company sponsored
