Can anyone recommend cheap alternative specs that look exactly or almost similar to Oakley Deringer? Cos Singapore can't find them in stores as in the actual model.[/QUOTE]


You can check out Deringer at:

Price is further much cheaper than retails.

anyone has any experience on nike eye frames?

I only noe tat nike shoes are not as good as they are used to be, especially their workmanship, made in vietnam thailand spoilt within 3 mths, unlike adidas which i have switched to their shoes can last mre than a year & only worn-out, not spoilt.

bought this for around S$200. Got kena tok?

Are you refering to the brand Urband? It is a french brand, their frames also go for a more minimalist industrial kind of look although like IC berlin and mykita, they have started to come out with newer trendier looks.

Their hinges (also screwless, clip types) and overall quality is comparable to IC Berlin if not better, depending on model. Limited distribution here, I think Nanyang optical/ Alexis is one of the very few, because they have some collabs with them. I like them alot, very comfy and they suit more people better than the german stainless steel sheet design. Curvature is also more forgiving.

yes, urband frames are gooood.

is hoya lens factory situated in thailand?

In general, any astigmatism correction numerically higher than a cylinder +1.50 or -2.50 should warrant special consideration of your lenses and frames.


Choose the smallest frame possible that fits comfortably. Your eyes should be centered in the middle of the frame, and the sides of the frame should touch your temple lightly. Avoid over-sized lenses or frames that wrap as these will induce distortion in the periphery of the lens.


Select hi-index plastic, Trivex or plastic lenses. If you have concerns about adapting to your new lenses, do not purchase polycarbonate lenses, a popular light-weight option. Although impact resistant and relatively inexpensive, polycarbonate lenses have the highest amount of innate distortion that may make adapting to your new prescription more difficult. Keep in mind polycarbonate or Trivex lenses are required for safety glasses and are highly recommended for sports glasses and small children.

surgeries, be it lasiks or implantations, always contain risks/infections that may do damages which could be irreversible to our eyes.

Good ole spectacles still the best.

Hi, just got my Ducati Wingspan spec from Queenway last week. The specs come with a original box with a local distributor labour paste outside the box.
It also comes with original waranty card/info and a warrenty registration card that is to be used in US only.

There isnt any printing of "china" on the inside of the spec arm. It does have a CE mark on it and also the model no.
The only piece that have the "MADE IN CHINA" is the micro cloth spec bag. According to the shop I bought from, all OAKLEY frame are made in the USA. But I have came across some that claim that only Oakley sunglass are make in US the rest in China, which is correct , I am not too sure. As much as I know, only "local Set" are allow to claim warrenty for corrosion or paint work chipoff, and also life time replacement of nose pad and rubber sock from the local distributor.

Just be careful that there are alot of fake product around, make sure you have the warrenty card when you get you spec. There is a high chances that those without the warrenty card are fake oakley product. I have for once got myself paying a discount price for a "parallel imported" set of Oakley spec that I suspect to be fake. As it doesnt come with any document or warrenty card . The problem is that it just dont last, paint work came off after just 3 month, worst the spec arm broke after I accidentally drop it onto the floor . Even a cheap frame would not break of just like that.

Now praying hard that my new spec can last for a good few years, but at least I know that the new one have a genuine warrenty if anything were to go wrong.

Have a pair of Wingspan ducati's bought directly from factory outlet in US. The arms have "China" stamped on it. Maybe yours are older/newer stock whereby they have the china stamp on it?

Ask your Optician. For me, 500deg both eye. My CYL, i enter is -5.0
PD value, i have to measure myself. 1st time order, i gave the wrong PD value, after wearing feel giggly.

 

[cowculator]

Go to Singapore poly and get them checked. You pay $5 and you help the students to improve their skills.

For optical shops, some will charge if you don't buy from them. Others might not release the PD since they know you buying elsewhere.
