Bought spare specs at new china optician highly recommended frames old skul looking with rodenstock colormatic lens 100 nia lol

What kind of lens they have there? Any pics of your hoot?

recently bought hi-index 1.8 lens at optical 88, high astig (3.5) and degree too (10.0), price was $400, is this about the market price?
also, another problem with having such hi-index glass is that almost any kind of frame will slip down eventually, for now I use ear hook, but any of you guys know of any suitable frame for hi-index lens? right now i'm using some armani frame ($240)

 

[Joelleyuan]

is it cheaper to get spec frame in hong kong/shen zhen?

shenzhen i dunno, but HK definitely cheaper n
many more brands we dont have here. nice.

U shd have gotten hi index plastic lens instead. Strongly discourage mineral glass as its too heavy and if slippage problem is of your concern. Clarity of lens, yes better but dont forget now plastic lens technology also getting v good and more researched. There is tokai think index can reach up to 1.76? Other brands will at least let u have up to 1.74 so why not go for plastic instead? Much lighter, safer option too. Double aspheric design will make it even thinner such that its comparable to the 1.8 glass u made. Only ting is the price factor. U may have to pay up to 1k or more just for lens but its worth it. At the end of the day, no spec frame u hunt can compliment the heaviness and thickness of your glass lenses. Only optionis to look for a lighter frame to go with a lighter plastic lens. Good luck.

hmmm, i m not sure about whether rich = mostly proud. But i think maybe some have forgotten that they were also once upon a time poor. Those born wih a silver spoon are lucky, though they may not realise it. Life is ironical. Just be contented.

I've read bits and parts of this thread from page 500 onwards and I'm honestly none the wiser over what shop to go to?

Wondering if anyone has advice for a professional shop who knows their stuff but isn't out there to cheat you etc i.e. good service.

I'm looking just to get a check up first and get some contact lenses then further down the road, I'll need to replace my current pair of spectacles i.e. I'm looking for a store to stick with in the long run.

Any recommendations / advice would be greatly appreciated.

I guess have to see whichlocation u are at? What kind of range u looking at?

I knew I forgot to add something to my question?

Preferably in the west/central area. I'm putting up at Queenstown.

I don't really have a price range, but I'm definitely not looking at the $1k range either. I don't mind paying a little more for lens quality etc.

At the moment $500 would be my budget but it all depends on what I can get with it I guess? But again, contact lenses first, then glasses sometime later probably. So my budget may increase.
