Hi guys. Need some opinions. I am quoted Hoya transitions for 150 and crizal transitions for 180. Which one should I go for? Thanks

May I know what index are the lens?

 

[Lexyyy]

If I'm not wrong, $400+ onwards ? Can't recall exact number

This kind of plastic frame?

Woah that's quite a sum. Those plastic tortoiseshell frames

Hi. I not sure. My degree is 100 and 50. They ask my degree and gave me a quote

Should be 1.56
Can you PM me where you get those prices?
Pretty good deals,

Yes, if the location is not an issue. Unlike a normal Optical shop, they make strong distinctions between different tasks. Sells their own stuff
It's like a MacDonald for glasses

Not exactly McD prices. Hahahaaa.

Hi have a eye health question.

On my old specs, my right eye is not as clear as my left eye.
On my new specs, the right lens is +25 "san guang" compared to old lens (what's the eng term - astigmatism?). But now i feel my right eye is a little "overpowered".
In both cases, both eyes are not balanced, with the right eye "underpowered" in old specs and "overpowered" in new specs.

Which power should I go for?
Old specs won for 2 years, just gotten new specs.
(gripe: why is the resolution only 25 degrees and not 12.5 degrees or finer???)

Thanks. If anyone has any recommendation for professional advice, TIA.

Another question, can someone decode this? Thanks.

coating gone. from a previous spec that ive worn for many years

may i know whhich brand lens is that & how many years you worn before the coating drops?

 

[Seannie]

still cant decide but probably taking tag heuer la...japonism design seems to be boring after a while

ok, then i agree u shd stick to ur fav tagheuer as it is also very light & flexible, if you dont mind the rubber keep deteriorating.

 

[Seannie]

Thanks Seannie. Does hoya also have what is advertise like scratch resistance, fingerprint resistance.etc... or it also have just not advertised. Sorry for the noobish questions. Thanks

Hoya's coating is the best in the market lo. Dont advertise doesnt mean its no good lor. Those advertised also doesnt mean they are better. Its just marketing, bro. So far, my hoya lens used one year still good, i wash with dettol soap everyday btw.

Which power should I go for?

i have only one question. Which power you feel that you can see better? If its the new power see better than the old, then should get use to the new one as it is more accurate. Otherwise, its the problem with the optician not doing his/her job properly in measuring your prescription. Dump him/her & get a better one next time.

 

[Lexyyy]

optician skill and knowledge. good pricing and will not anyhow carrot

Interested to know too!

thanks, oh so you didnt use back your old frame when you change to new lens?

 

[ahhian]

after 6 years think its better to change to a new frame.

but old frame still in good shape, shd be able to last a couple more years even if i reuse it

thanks, oh so you didnt use back your old frame when you change to new lens?

Hi.

I just checked. Is Hoya Nulux 1.5.
For those asking where the shop is. Let me do first and if the shop good then I name it. If not who knows later a lot of hidden charges
