The Spectacles Thread.

Any shops in QUEENSWAY to recommend ?
Criteria :
- good gauging of focal point, measurements etc
- Must give authenticity certificate for LENSES

Lol what focal point measure do you want? all lenses are sent to their individual labs for grinding. Its the same when you buy from spectacle hut or ah huat optics. Essilor will be sent to essilor hoya will be sent to hoya. What you need is a good optometrist. Optique zone is good. They have many optometrist even degree holding ones.

Don't kknow. Very very hard to tell. I got a lot customers bring in ray bans from queensway ask me adjust. But knn fake. Still wear until song song. Singapore is still another Asian country la. Fakes can be anywhere.

For progressive lens, suggestion: Go for Zeiss (Progressive Choice Series) or Crizal/Essilor (at least Varilux Physio)


For clear/clarity, suggestion is Zeiss
[Best is glass {limited} but heavy, then top-range lastest technology plastic from that brand]


For coating, I think you have to specify hard coating type {Custom made} which cost more than standard coating. Note, for glass type; the coating will last longer.


In today plastic technology, smudge proof/dust proof is just a marketing.




Note, price alone for the glasses or lenses may be range $500¬600 - $1000 - $2000



Go for Hoya brand if for normal MC glasses + high index
but if need transitions lens, then go for Crizal/Essilor or Zeiss.



Thanks.
=======================================

I'm looking to change my spectacle lens and I'm looking for a recommendation for the best lens, basis the following criteria :

- clear/clarity (as little coloured tint as possible)
- durability of coating
- smudge proof
- dust proof

I'm looking for a 1.67 hi-index lens, non-transitions type

So far gathered on here the following :
- crizal seems to have some negative feedback
- a lot of users of HOya on here
- nikon, zeiss seems to be more expensive than the rest

Any recommendations ??

Any recommendation for shop that carry geninue Zeiss lens?

All shops that sell Zeiss lens will give u the card. Most of the lens will have the laser etching. Some will be cut off depending on ur lens orientation

 

[ceestudent]

Just curious, is the nikon seecoat lens can match the clarity of zeiss?
Currently, wear zeiss lens. Just want to try the bi-aspheric from nikon since it can make the lens much thinner.

Advice anyone?

I am looking to change my specs and i'm looking at optical 88 shops.. Any reviews on them ?
What range of prices should I be looking for when shopping for specs? Like for those brandless ones and those more popular ones like coach or armani ?

I believe that u are looking at optical 88 because of Groupon?
Your astigmatism degrees and your needs ( types of lens and frames) will determine your prices.

Prices should not be the most important factor. Brandless or branded frames do not matter.
Comfort takes priority. I learnt this from one guru here, Seannie
