The Spectacles Thread.

[2pm2am]

Yes, those opticians always tell me that the lens will turn out about to be the same thickness as the pair im wearing. Almost all will say that. And i suppose they rarely have customers with high power so cant really give good advice. At the moment, i can still afford to make mistakes & redo my specs. But once i reach age 40 & gets laohua i think i will not be able to anymore becos progressive hoya lens are so expensive, just one pair costs $900, double the price of single vision

for your kind of power, the thickness can still be estimated. I got one customer whose power is -1800 and she asked me to tell her how thick the lens will be, i told her sorry i can't estimate it's out of range on my charts.

I don't understand why you say it's your mistake when you have not been properly advised by the optician in the first place. when i see people with big frames and thick lenses, its almost always the fault of the optician who could not visualise how the final product will look like.

Usually how long does your spectacles stay on your nose without sliding down/using hand to push the spectacle up again?
Should a good grip frame/correct adjustment actually stay on the nose the whole day without sliding down when doing normal daily activities? (normal walking, siting...)

if i am her with -1800 i think my quality of life is very low or none at all. No matter wad lenses she use, it will still be thick & uncomfy the whole day long, unless she has a super small head then her lenses can minimise to the smallest. I guess only way out for such ple is to go for surgery even if risks have to be taken. You just really cant go ard your life having -1800 power on your specs on ur face. My power is less than half of that & i am alry struggling with my daily life, i wonder how she can do it.

yes, you are right, your specs shd stay on your nose the whole day without much of the need to keep pushing up, unless your nose feels itchy. Good grip frame shd let yoor frame stay put the whole time unless doing somersaults or aggreesive movements. Can you imagine the hassle of your spec keep feeling loose & sliding down that it cant let you concentrate on your activities? That will mean that your specs have alry failed in its basic function, no matter how nice the design may be, i will still call it as a piece of junk. And sadly, many specs manufacturers like to place attention to the design of the frame & neglect the functionality.

Implantable Contact Lenses

Implantable contact lens are a good option for people that might be or live in conditions that cause dry eyes or debris to fly in the eye.

I know some folks that are in the army like me and Lasik just doesn't work for them since for lasik the top layer of the cornea is removed and causes dry eye and will have problems in conditions that are too sandy or dusty.

I'm looking to implantable contact lenses now and wanted to get them but still doing the research. It seems that the makers of the product (Staar) are taking questions from prospective patients on their facebook... facebook dot com / visianicl that will be answered by a surgeon.

But I've emailed them in customer service at sxie at staar dot comthe past with questions and they're pretty good about getting back to me.

[nicholaslee]

How do you guys know which frames will look good on you when ordering online?

Is it based on going to shops try out, then take note model number and order online? Or you already know what shapes suit your face?

Thanks

some website u can upload yr face photo then try the spec... so far i ordered 2 pair very happy with the specs.. although it is not titanium the steel frame is light and fit my face.. the nose pads are big and super comfortable.. super value for money... the lenses i ordered is index 1.5 but thinner then the local one at 1.6( i am not sure why also) With the cost of oakley and local price i can buy at least 8 to 9 pair online... u can try here coastal.com

Mine 2 pair of specs from there.. cost less then $100 included shipping they give free gift like cleaning spray and screw driver for yr frame too..
