HI All :
I recently got a pair of specs from Queensway(Storename : Tomorrow Optical)
I drove a hard bargain but its ended suspicouly cheap ..
Its not a branded frame but the total is only $150 (Essilor Crizal Lens +Frames )
I did however get a Certificate of Authencity for the Essilor Lens
Could anyone advise me if the Essilor Crizal Lens is fake ?
Thanxs!!

No. This price is reasonable. If you doubt it go to essilor lo. We also cannot see the lens online. How to tell u. Try breathing warm air on ur lens. Should have a crizal word appear.

Am torn between oaks livestrong and tag red reflex now. Price diff of 100 with essilor 1.6 lens. Which will u guys advise? Heard tag spare parts harder to get as it does not hv local agent. Also heard the rubber may lose their elasticity over time. Is this true?

If yes, then oaks will seem a better choice @ 560.
Also, how many year warranty does tag have? 1 or 2?

Look wise, I feel tag reflex is better, but value for $ and service support and durability wise, oaks seem better.

Any feedback from u experts ?

Frame doesn't matter. It's the lenses that matter. Frames select as u deem fit lo. Lol.

did more research on Tag reflex...

Tag service centre takes long time to repair - need to ask optical shops to remove lenses before it will take in the frame for servicing, and repair time takes 3 weeks

Tag rubber temple may peel, esp with sweat contact

Tag screws came off quite easily


Now, what abt Oaks? Anyone have any negative feedback? thanks

I have a tag spec too but I have not fix my lens.. I like to ask as you said the rubber temple may peel off which is the side of the frame isit?
If this was the case, I was thinking maybe go get those plastic coating and spray on the side handle then it would not peel off when in contact with sweat.
