Sounds close to retail price.
Hoya have lenses around $160 for 1.6
Nikon should be $248
Crizal was around there

Normal prices. Close to retail. Not carrot head prices of that's what you're asking

Sorry noob question, these prices are lense alone or with frame included?

If I have astigamatism should i wear the specs only at nite or must also wear in day to prevent worsening?

I like their very classic and stylish designs.

as long you like it its fine becos not everyone likes the idea. The stinking old bread has so many criticisms abt dun but cant give concise reasons. If you read his historic posts, he actually says that charmant is of better quality :s8: and bias towards dun. Dunoe say what Dun not durable la, too simple cant sell la, his brother used to have a pair then throw aside la, and people usually buy once & wont buy twice again la that kind of tings.

I cant be bothered. Dun is good stuff & i recognise appreciate it, not many will agree but in the market i feel not many brands able to be as well-rounded. And its not v exp. Affordable. Definitely value for your wallet too. Same as hoya.

Hoot Dun with Hoya, then really ish best bang for your bucks :s12:

If some people think that about $400 is a bit too expensive, think again. Normal stainless steel frames cost very little maybe within a hindred dollar you can get, but most of the time they look rough, not uniform, shoddy worksmanship, and the paint chips off after one year due to perspiration etc. And normal frame made of steel, if not bulky, usually also heavy and stiff. In comparison, Dun looks simple but its really not so. It is light & flexible, but not to the point that it is flimsy. Its structure balance is actually quite good. And its something i have been hunting for a long while. Yes, you can say maybe dun is more suitable for bigger heads. BUt im more amazed by the material. Made of gummetal. The main attraction point is the comfort when wearing. Not too flimsy to fall off your head. Not too hard to cause discomfort. Just the right balance. Ofcos the asethetic appearance wise, its classic smart look. Not v flashy, but definitely trendy. Not ah pek specs.

May not suit everyone taste. Try for yourself & decide.

Retail without frames

It's up to individual shops to work out the final deal

That mostly depends on personal habits and the strength of your astigmatism.
Above all certain level, some people do feel more comfortable with the glasses on.

You're actually calling me names bearing a grudge from all the way back because I disagreed with you? :s22::s8:

What are you? 8 years old?


As far as I'm concerned, I did not show any bias for Charmant or against dun. I said, Charmant ' so quality is good for their price, which is why I support them.
And rejected your views that dun is as good as you said.
And the proof is obvious, you yourself acknowledged not many shops sell dun. Most I know who do are clearing it off.
Along with your anecdotal accounts, I have stated mine, and known people who don't have a preference for it.
Have I said they're definitely "better" than dun?

And :s13:
Before you put words into my mouth , best back it up. While I do list out who I support, I dare not say they're better. Not even for lens companies. And I do list out why.


Grow up really.

Yes, not sellable, or else they'll be all over the place. Something you see with your own eyes and acknowledged here yourself
Yet continue to bitch about.

I'm stating a a fact, agreed by you. YET you go full retard on me because I say you're correct :s22:
