this is nice...damage?

Hmm, order in from overseas is around $300.

All my frames have been from Kwong Shin since 1988. Reasonable price - subjective. You can get cheap price but very poor service.

I see. Thanks for the info


Sorry I don't know much abt this, but if i will to buy frame from somewhere, can I go up to another optical shop to make the lens of my own frame?

I have made my glasses with Crizal hi-index w/ my favorite plastic frame! So happy!! Now I can wear them if I'm lazy w/ contact lens! BTW, the coating is like a bit blue-ish... not those usually green.

the card look cheapo (paper, not plastic).

TQeeeee....

Same. Normal Hoya no cert. Transition Hoya will have cert.

then how do we know if the shop is providing us the correct brand of lens?

Yup. That is what I have also been thinking. If you pay a premium price for a lens and get one with normal lens, it's hard to tell them apart unless you are in the industry.

yea i was wondering that too!. just made my spec using hoya lens.. doesnt come with card

Just checking how long will it takes the transition lens to change color when in the sun? My Hoya transition lens still quite clear when standing in the sun for a few mins. But the shop when she put the spec into a uv cabinet for like 10mins n the lens become tinted...is this normal?

depends on the UV ... more UV more "dark" but i heard SG dun have so much UV compare to AUS/US so not really worth as it wont go dark even though its sunny/bright outside.
