Hi, no offense, but HOYA lens at $110 is incredible leh. They normally cost
more than Nikon lens. Are you very sure they gave you Hoya lens? Do
they give cert for Hoya lens?
I just made a pair of Nikon lens (1.67, degree 500-600) last month and it
cost me $250 (lens alone). The shop gave me a cert (like an ezlink card
like that lol) for it.

Hope someone can clarify me on Hoya lens' pricing. Thanks.

HOYA or Nikon high index lens better?

 

[rubyduby]

thanks for the advice, really appreciate it

looking at rimless/half rims frames
for the typical young executive look
clean,smart and not too flashy

would prob be checking out the spec shop at bras basah and also soon lee @ sim lim towers over the weekend
seems great place to start looking for someone with a shoestring budget like mine

would look out for the ic! berlin frames at eyeplay if i pass by heeren too!

i also looking at those half rim frames.

any good shop with wide range of designs to intro?

Any idea where to get prodesign specs cheaper?

I have a pair - exactly the same as the pic here. It is very comfortable after some adjustment and the material is good. Feel it and you will know what I mean.

You can consider going to the Brass Basah optical shop - the one that is most crowded on a Sat

It is quite expensive - so most shops do not carry many pieces I think.

Hi,

anyone heard about plastic plus transtion lens ? i was quoted 180 for this....did i kena chopped ?

Plastic Plus is consider another range of transition.. I can say it's a not too bad lens for beginning who want to try out transition too.. try going neighbourhood based optical store and ask for more about it..

Thanks, but if that guy wore this Tai Hachiro without glasses, it'll be such a waste .....

As for the plane lens + contacts combo, I don't see where there will be a problem ....

 

[kawerty]

I wan ask is there a shop in Singapore that makes the frame for you?

So like,you come up w/ design,then they quote you a price then they start working on it for you.
