Just got an Oliver Peoples frame, looks weird on me though..

 

[atypical]

you bought online?

 

[jeromecd]

Yeah, that's why i didn't try it on personally. It's pretty comfortable though.

 

[atypical]

hahaha ... maybe you feel that they look weird on you becoz you're not used to them. Well, congratz, you now have the option of a different style. Enjoy them, no less.

 

[jeromecd]

Wah!I not really sure of market prices for lens.but at $670 just for lens,IMO,is srsly too expensive....with tt kind of money,probably can make a pair of Oakley with lens....

Oops....my bad.just googled about progressive lens.it has many functions integrated into a single lens.hence the higher price compared to normal lens tt we are prescribed for myopia....

hi progresive are for ppl who are long and short sighted, mainly older people. For most ppl normal lens are fine.

For high degrees the lens will be very thick , for myself i use 1.67 and 1.74 .. but 1.74 is very ex nearly double of 1.67.

yah, i was told that bcoz the demand for 1.70/1.74 is lower. I personally like Tokai's 1.70. The coating is very smooth. Smoother than Hoya and Essilor, I find ....

oic.haha my degree is 600/600.not sure if 1.7 thin enuff.furthermore my lens quite curved.scared wear le got distortion & headaches

looking at this lens http://www.tokaiopt.com/lens/212200.php but not sure how much it would cost....

 

[atypical]

1.7/1.74 should be ok for you. I have a lot of friends in your degree and higher.

By curve I assume your lens are not aspheric. I actually will get bit giddy when my lenses are not aspheric.

Next toy to look at are the bi-aspheric lenses .... Tokai have ! woohoo !
