Hi guys, thinking of getting Mykita specs. Is it good to get my friend to buy back from munich? Or would USA be a good place to get it, considering the superb exchange rate? I see it on some USA websites, not too sure if they are reliable and genuine products. Very expensive in Singapore. Thanks!

Hi bros, i'm thinking of giving the crizal A2 lens a try. Any shop to recommend where I can get it at a reasonable price (around 300 degrees per eye)? Preferably east side and with a good selection of frames as well Thks

 

[Agamemnon]

Actually, to select shops based other than on the prices of the specs/lens, what about the eye testing expertise of the shops i.e. electronic / manual testing skills etc or is this taken as a generic/basic service already? I had been going to my regular optician for years to get the specs/lens together there. But the range of specs very limited. Unless I get specs from another shop & make the lens at my optician. But all-in costs usually higher right? Thks.

I'm looking for a new pair of glasses (frame + lens). The optician that I usually make my glasses with has closed shop a few years ago so I'm not sure where to go. Any recommendations for shops in the north/north-east area (Serangoon, AMK, Hougang, Bishan)?

I was looking around some shops, and the Oakley Bottle Rocket 2.1 caught my eye, but according to the shop Oakleys are fixed price, is this true?

Anyway, looking to get affordable frames, hopefully as close to 2 digit as possible (yes I'm a cheapo). Lens wise, not too sure, but probably high index and scratch resistant?

Mr champion, for the most part oakleys are fixed price, unless u cross the sea bridge.

But wat most shops can do is give u a discount on the lens. I got my muffler + lens for 400 - 420 iirc.

Actually you should try Johor Bahru. Seriously optical shops in Singapore are really going for the kills. I don't mind paying $50-$100 more in SG. But if spend $600 in SG for a pair of specs, I can get it for $600 ringgit in JB.

Any recommended optometrists? Preferably in the West side. My niece sometimes complains about her glasses making her dizzy. I thought I should take her to a proper optometrist for a checkup.

This year champion not me lah. Anyway, I don't need Oakleys, they just look nice. I can accept a brandless one, as long as they are durable. Most frames I've had are brandless, and most of them lasted many many years (I've had my current ones since 2006). So any good cheap opticians with a good selection in my area?

I really don't like going to JB, and also have no time to anyway.
