http://www.hitoplens.com/

you can refer to theweb link above and click on the product page to see what lens manufacturer has to offer.

This is a local company and they say you can order here to get the uncut lenses and then take them to your spectacles frame outlet to ask them to cut it into the appropriate shape and ift them into the frame...not sure whether spectacle frame shop does this...

Seriously, I dun think Hi top photochromic lens colour look nice.... ILT's sun active nicer leh... Darker also... Something like transitions.. Maybe a lil lighter?

 

[rudolf]

i am thinking to buy a pair of transition lens. what perturbs me greatly is the discrepancy between the prices sold at different shops(180-240). Do you guys know what accounts for the differences?

Are there new generation transition lens or whatever that is causing the difference is prices?

 

[rookierocky]

so many types of lensn, not sure which to choose leh

New generation transitions price is same as the old 1 lor.. If they quote u higher price for the new gen, obviously is wanna earn ur $ liao...

Photochromic and transitions diff is, transitions changes faster and darker... Photochromic got more colours thou...

Transitions is more expensive becoz of it's branding...

transitions lens also got anti-reflective (multi-coating) coatings (+$20-40), teflon coating (+$20-30), hard protective coatings.

transition high index cost about double of that of non high index transition lens.

photocromic i think not suitable for cold countries.....those snowing ones. cause can get false positive results....due to low temperatures.

[Cerius]

hmmm hi i'm new to this thread, want to ask some questions here =)

I'm having about 400+ degree per eye right now but one of my eyes have like 275 astigmatism...

if i were to get a transition lens with 1.6 index roughly how much would it cost? i'm being quoted like 590 for the zeiss lens at spectable hut-_-

don't know, some shops quote me transition lens without Multi-coating....they say must pay extra money for MC. could it be a gimmick?
