The Spectacles Thread.

[jonleelk]

No one get their specs from seng lee @ queensway shopping centre? The shop with the 3 ladies.

Oh...there is also a guy.

aldric12 may i know why u went for 1.6 index? 1.5 should be cheaper and almost same thickness? coz ur deg not that high

and guys the kwong shin shop at bras basah look like a lot not so new models leh

Myo Vision only come in 1.6index there will be only 1 index for this lens.

hey tks for sharing this image of zeiss certificate card

thing is last time my essilor crizal the whole certificate card was hand written, except for the card with the essilor logo

nowadays they can duplicate uni degree cert so easily, that's why I prefer to be more careful with my specs cert card

concern is of course getting what you pay for and not a lens of cheaper quality, especially if there is no logo engraving, they can just give the singapore "kwang mei(sp?)" local brand lens

For essilor lens only some of the lens brand like Varilux physio axio then they will have a cert card. if you want to look i may also post it on.

[atypical]

Just prescribed a new pair of specs from Kwong Shin Optical last night. Have always appreciate their service. Annie was great to talk to and seek advice/recommendation. Highly recommended.

Can't wait.

nobody can answer me question?

anyway i see 1 not bad looking TED BAKER spec promotion 198 for the lense.

then i ask the lense, they say for HOYA lens index 1.67 wif multi-coat need to + $180

then i ask for essilor lens index 1.67 wif multi-coat need to + $150

so all my questions are:

1)Does JB optical shop sells more varieties and cheaper? anybody been there?

2)Which is more worth the money? HOYA or Essilor?

3)normaly spectacle it's best to have which kind of function? like multi-coat? or what UV protection or wat anti-glaring if u use too much computer?

4) does $198 for a normal looking TED BAKER worth it with the HOYA/Essilor lens i mention above?

somebody please help me!

should/may be cheaper. NOt sure for what brands and whether they do stock those brands that you want. Most prob they will ask u do HOYA cos they say its better than essilor. Duno how true.

 

[rookierocky]

HOYA or Essilor? which lens is better?

Recently asked for Essilor airwear lens from 2 optical shops in different locations...I didn't ask for anything else like coating etc..just lens..the shop at shopping mall quoted me $160+, the other at HDB neighbourhood quoted me $78+
Can the shop sell at their own price?.. or at least near the recommended retail price...I'm going to ask around other optical shops again to confirm the price range..

Anyone know Essilor airwear lens recent prices? thanks

Adios..

 

[iNETeVO]

For lens... I have tried quite a number different brands...

feel that Seiko is one of the best I tried so far... light and good

That's what the shop quoted me, I'm wondering if it's essilor lens or not with the price difference
