The Spectacles Thread.

What i meant is a frame may fit me well but not you.

u wear so long specs u should roughly know the dimension that suit yr head.. from there choose the design...

Problem with online purchase is that you do not know the fit of the frames. Some frames look nice but the fitting is not right.

the online sites that I shop will indicate the dimensions, tha's why I got a nice fit. Fret not, my sister bought a Marc by Marc Jacob frame online recently but It was a bit tight. The optician juz bend it a bit and it fits perfectly well now.

This is when you need professional help from optician. As our eyesight may deteriorate over time, we need to always check our eyesight so that we can wear the accurate lenses to correct our short sightedness.

Well.. knowing the dimensions doesn't always automatically translate to getting a good fit. You don't know how something fits unless you wear it. Just like food, how to know what it tastes like without tasting it?!

I'm all for buying online if you have tried the frame in person and if the local shops are charging a kidney for it, but before that, everyone deserve to know what that particular frame feels like on your face before splashing out good money for it. Unless it's dirt cheap

So in conclusion buying online is much cheaper but measurement wise depends on luck and skill of buyer?

Pardon me I am newbie in this glasses. Big chain store like e.g capital optical, nayang optical vs neighbourhood store will the price have big difference?

I love my dun frame. After some adjustment, it fits well and light. Great Jap product.

does your frame get scratches boh? especially on the plastic temple portion.. metal still not get scratched so easily.. plastic hor all over the place.

i already bought close to 5 pairs of frame with lenses online and 1 more on the way... no problem with fitting...... first of all they will state all the length of all the parts of the frame.. 2nd u can upload yr face pics and roughly see the frame suit yr face or not... 3rd... u can actually adjust the frame yrself when it reach u to contour yr head... After learning few tricks i no more visiting local optical shops... local shop optician most dun know how to adjust the frame to make it comfortable... i can myself do it much better... I also done for my loves one... they no more specs sliding down issue. no more pain here or there behind ear

wah elite spotted! CAn help us adjust our specs? What tools do you use at home? You have plier?

Kwong Shin carries a wide range of frames. From economical ones to high-end ones.
Select based on your budget.
Saw a great selection of Korean frames - light, comfy and affordable.
