The Spectacles Thread.

[Newbie0001]

Hi, Bro & Sis,

The other day I passed by a shop (will check the shop's name), and the shop is having promotion for spectacles for sports. It is china made one, quite cheap, around $100 + a bit , including polycarbonate lenses (it has to be plastic, glass can't, I asked). It is those type with with plastic frame (slightly look bulky) attaches with elastic strap. Well, for the cost wise is good, but look "a bit" (I said a bit only) weird. Colour is dull blue, red & gray. Well, this is really a sports type of spectacles, however, the look wise is really a bit weird. Quality wise, no problem. It fits my face comfortably.

Anybody got any better suggestion from the price wise and fashion point of views?
Any other suggestion for sports spectacles? I mean for extreme sports e.g.: trekking, jogging, basketball, etc etc....

TIA!
A Newbie.

yup with the original transition certificate card. I got from a reputable opticain so i dun think they dare to cheat customers. I got another pair using compatible tansition lens and true enough the original one turn dark very fast and doesnt affect the vision (mean the surrounding is still clear and not darken)

guys
i walked into some optical shops and was quoted the following for lenses :

• $120 for Essilor hi-index 1.67
• $150 for Hi-Top hi-index 1.67
• $180 for Seiko hi-index 1.67 with UV coating
• $220 for Nikon hi-index 1.67

My question is, how do I know that the optician will give me whatever I ordered ?
For example, if I pay for Seiko or Nikon, how do I know he will not give me Essilor or Hi-Top instead leh ? Anyway to prevent this ?

Thanks!

you'll get an original certificate and 1-yr warranty card from the manufacturer.
That's what I've received.

Nikon's is superb.
I had 2 of them, consistently wiped with my polo-T and not a single scratch on the coating even after 1-yr!!




By the way,
anybody has good recommendation for shops to get ic.berlin or yellow plus in singapore?

It was the basic type la I think. I enquired at another shop and it came up to 240 for that shop's basic lenses. I was like 0_0

Anyway anyone knows any good shop in AMK? My Levi's just broke last night after about 2 to 3 years of usage. The rim just snapped.

Basically lens are cheap if you know where to buy and how to bargain and not to fall for the tricks of the salesperson asking you to top up this n that
