Hi all the experts in here, can i get some advice?

Earlier i was sharing about my problems with my new plastic frame, 2 pairs in fact, one with 53mm x 36mm (height), the other with 50mm x 40mm (height), compared to my old metal frame which is 54mm x 31mm.
i've been wearing this metal frame for more than 3 yrs, and i remembered i didn't
even feel uncomfortable for a short while when i first put them on.

but this 2 plastic frame, somehow i just feel uncomfortable in the left eye no matter how i try to adjust to them.
i did went back to the shops and they changed the left side lens for once, told me they reduce the power abit as maybe the plastic frame is closer to my face so i feel a little uncomfortable compared to my metal frame.
and one pair the shop owner told me he followed exactly to the prescription for
my old metal frame cos after the eye test, the results is about the same.

so i thought it was really exactly the same, until last week i went to Paris Miki
to let one of the optometrist help me check the lens on my metal frame and one of the plastic frame.

results as followed:
Metal Frame RIGHT -5.25, Astig -1.00, Axis 89. LEFT -6.75 Astig -0.50, Axis 122

Plastic Frame RIGHT -5.25, Astig 1.25, Axis 89, LEFT -6.75 Astig -0.75, Axis 115


May i ask, do you'll think the slight difference in Astig and Axis for the left lens is the reason why i'm feeling uncomfortable in the left eye? or izzit becos the frame is too big? :(:s11:
However, my right eye doesnt feel uncomfortable at all.

Please share some knowledge and experience with me.
Thankssss.

bro, the Axis too much difference la, 7 points off is too much to tolerate already. Your optician who did the plastic frame is not doing his job proper at all. Sack him. Go back to the optician who did the metal frame. Changing frames or lenses is not fixing the crux of yur problem. Finding a good honest reliable optician will change that. :s12:

anyone heard of this brand called Hannes Tech? their design is same as Ic! Berlin but price is almost 50% cheaper.

came across hannes tech at one of the spec shops in westgate. did a little research and asked around and found out that Hannes Tech, despite its much lower price, is better than Ic! Berlin. Hannes Tech is made of titanium but Ic! Berlin made of stainless steel (according to shop owner and official website).

Only difference is Hannes Tech is made in Japan but Ic! Berlin is made in Germany. Any bros got experience with Hannes Tech :)

IC!Berlin is recognised international brand. Its distinctive feature cannot escape just like tagheuer. Endorsed and worn by celebrity as well. Exudes class and style. Those 50% cheaper wu boh? Look 50% or 500% cheaper boh?

Oakley from 8 years ago and now very different. Their quality now is bad and price also expensive, stay away. Materials and construction feels so cheap compared to the old days :(
