Hey guys, I recently received a frame with non prescription plastic lenses on but they are really scratched out and I need to get them changed to new non prescription lenses again. Do you guys have any idea where it can be done? The frame is quite ezpensive, thus, I dont want to mess around with them. Any idea peepo?

any place also can get ba. depends on how much u wanna spend.

lol. many frames "parallel import" many "fakes" depends on how u see it. LOL. some model of ray ban specs i see at queensway dont even appear online. to each his own. if you trust it then buy it. if not forget about it.

earnings from these frame cover for the loss of earnings from the lenses.

most anti scratch coating are good enough. all the coating will not be good enough if you leave your glasses lying around lens side down, clean with tissue/shirt, don't wash your lens cloth regularly, etc.

Heard of Oneway and their Ultem Frames and their lens. Wonder if it's worth the money for their lens w/anti-scratch tech.

lenses imho, all the same. most human eyes won't have the ability to discern the difference in optical quality between lenses. those really high end lenses will have slight impact but for vision a 6/6 is a 6/6. you can't grade the quality of 6/6 vision without detailed maps plotted with machines. most importantly, is to keep your eyes healthy with annual eye checks with an optometrist. Not only checks for eye power but the overall health of your eye. worth the money to spend on yearly screenings than to spend on gimmicks that don't seem to work.

A multicoat is a multicoat no matter how good u say it is. lenses with multicoat still provide UV protection whether you put in "transitions" aka photochromic lenses or not.

Thank you for your input.

The only issue that bugs me is the bridge of my nose that gets oily and causes the specs to fall lower down the nose. Very irritable and I hate using those rubber stoppers as I feel that they're a 'bulky' attachment having to use them.

Any thoughts on this?

the frame is not adjusted to fit snugly. it will still slide,but should not be that much. asians usually have a flat nose. the nose pad is the best option we have.

I hope there will be a solution, I heard this sticky wax on kickstarter, keeps it from falling
