The Spectacles Thread.

[ahbard]

Hey folks,

tried reading the hundreds of pages here.. read until I blur. Basically haven't changed my specs for a LONG LONG TIME. I plan to make a good new pair, but not sure where to get the best deals, what kind of designs are popular now, and what are the lens options available.

My budget is around $600. Hoping you experts can give some advice and suggestions on which shop to go to, what frame to look for, and a suitable lens.

Tks for your help.

Some bros/sis recommend the bras basar shop...maybe u can go there take a look...as for what type of frame...you have to go down to try it out yourself...what we recommend may not suit to your likings. Most impt is comfortable,nice and light for your likings.

You bought an Oakley? Hmm.. I'm considering too. Are they like super expensive?

Last time i used to remember that Oakley also do make their own lense because there was this guy who want to make a ordinary frame with Oakley lens, but it wasnt worth for as the lens are expensive too..

Think prices 4 both yr frame n lens are controlled in S'pore.

Think prices 4 both yr frame n lens are controlled in S'pore.

controlled if you purchase from shops

but if from parallel importer then different story might be able to save 100+ or so on the frame.

Original Transition?

Hi there

I'm just wondering do Transition make their own photochromic lens?
Cause i been offered with a pair of "original" Transition lens at $160.

If Transition do make their own "original" Transition lens, is it better than the (Essilor)Crizal or Caral Zesis transition?
Which one is the best & which one is the worst?
How much should these lens cost around?

Thank in advance =D

 

[h0rniieb0i]

Anyone knows how much is a normal classic Rayban optical?

 

[whatme]

Isnt Transition itself is a photochromic lens? Transition is the name of the lenses and the brand is Essilor?

Transition is a Technology (Not A Brand)
So you will see all Gcard will have Transition no matter which Lap you get the lens from.

Maybe the meaning the sale person telling you is Original transition 6 and not photochromic lens.
