oh dear, any kind soul got any recommendation then? (pls pm if not allowed to post here)
the spectacle shops at my neighbourhood like not very professional one
Some advice needed
Hi all,
I did a pair of specs 1 month back, quite happy with it, however the shop did not give me a written prescription.
Later on I asked for it, but still the boss is unwilling to provide a copy of my prescription.
I heard that in some countries by law the optometrist have to provide a copy of prescription when requested; I wonder if it's true. Anyone had similar bad experiences before?
In any case if he is still unwilling to provide my prescription, i will take the current pair and ask another shop to duplicate(i need a backup pair anyway). But i am unsure if the new pair of specs will be as accurate? There seems to be some information i read that claimed that there is some room for error when you do this. How true is that? Anyone? Thanks.

Nah. There is no such law for that. It is only true that optometrist must do a full eye (not just eye power aka prescription) check for every new patient in their practice. When needed provide them with a report for further medical treatment. Of cos this is a professional service and is not free. Those test that u get free at optical shops are just normal prescription checks and the optometrists would not be complying with the laws if they do that. Only opticians are not required by the law to do a full eye check because they are not medically trained and not licensed to do that.
Of cos there is error for that. Machines are calibrated differently. The reading they read may not be entirely the same. But would be similar. Similar to doing a eye test a second time, there would still be a margin or error because of human error. 1st test may not be same as 2nd test even if dine consecutively.
Anywhere la. Market area. Don't expect a full eye check though. You won't get it. Haha.

apart from transition (don't want to pay for the brand name), what other good photochromic lenses are there in sg? what's the price range like? also, do they come in different levels of tint? i want one that doesn't turn too dark even when out in sunlight..
thanks!
thanks!
transition i mean that brand is used in many labs including essilor hoya and even ilt. try getting ILT ones instead quite affordable
Come on. Anywhere also can make la. Lenses are cut from a big circle shaped lens. Got money can do alrdy. Make sure u ask for a full eye check. If he is an optometrist. Required by law

Is there anyone willing to hold a MO for taikoeyework.com or smartbuyglasses.com.sg ?

Nah that isnt the list of all qualified optoms. That is a private organisations that provide optoms with professional help. Go to the optometrists and opticians board for the full view of all the optometrists registered in Singapore.
I don't see how that was a spam and how this is the wrong section.
Just trying to ask if anyone wanted to start a MO for spectacles in this thread called 'The Spectacle Thread' .
Correct me if i'm wrong, but clearly the means was justified.
