Hi, can I just buy any frames overseas and bring to a local shop to get it fitted with the lens? Must get any specs of the frame to provide the shop? in Japan now, see many nice frames!

Anyone can shed some light on this UVG Super EX PPC lens carried exclusively by Paris Miki?

Visited them few days back and they were showing me these lens that they recommend for ppl who faces the computer screen for long period of time. The science behind it supposedly reduce the fatigue of your eyes by filtering away blue ultraviolet waves as mentioned by the staff. I tested it for a while and somehow the contrast seems better and when I read the small text on a piece of paper, it does seems clearer.

you are better than mine:
R - 775 / 250
L - 775 / 300

Hoya 1.7 $255 is a very good price you have bargained. If i were to get it, the least they will quote me is $500+

So, i always get hoya 1.67 Nulux EP instead ($550). Hoya 1.7 for me will be ard $650. Considering 1.67 & 1.7 only a slight thickness difference i opt for 1.67 for its better clarity. Hoya 1.74 would not be worthwhile for me cos its ard $1,000. Im waiting for 1.74 price to drop but quite unlikely unless more demand for it in the market or until hoya developes even higher index than 1.74. I might alry be an old man by then. :(
