Spain has better chance to go further than germany, but No, its not cfm win.

Latest update. Spain's odds has just increased to 6.3 from 5.8 previously, increment of 0.5 pt, not looking good as favourites. On the other hand, france also increased one point whilst argentina & germany remain unchanged. Brazil decreased to 3.2 already.Tdy must go whack another $500 before odds drop to 2+ then hong gan liao.

lenses should have a bit of slant downwards and not straight. most frames are made for ang moh faces so the slant is a lot more on asian face. the nose pads can be swapped to give a better fit.

Yeah, switch the nosepads to those with "longer legs". They will push the frame up abit more and there will be less tilt. Swissflex has a variety of nosepads available and any optical shop can swap the right ones for u.

Y u dun get transition lens?

Thanks for the suggestion but transition lenses don't work behind the windscreen. Anyway got new progressive lenses plus clip-on polarised lenses customised to fit my frame (http://ssmt.jp/products/cf2/). Can be flipped up so more convenient that the magnetic ones, esp in tunnels.

I would not suggest online shops for swissflex. In fact, i would avoid the brand if possible, it is notorious for fit issues that a regular shop where you can go back again for support/ adjustments and exchange of parts is best.

If you could, go back to the shop u bought from and request for a different nosepads.

Aiyar just change to plastic specs no nosepad problems or issues so troublesome. Tsk tsk tsk. Finding nosepads replacements such a hassle.

Anyone get Rayban titanium frames from Group promotion? Is the price reasonable or can get cheaper from optical shop at Queenway shopping ? Thanks.

Aiyo might as well go lasik dont need to wear specs better right?

 

[Fragum]

I have 50 degrees in my right eye. Left side is fine. both eyes no astigmatism.

Is it advisable to wear them all the time? In front of computer etc

Lasik not recommended. Side effects eg infection will surface abt 10 years after surgery becos they breed v slowly in the eyes & u dont see the side effects so fast. A renowned taiwan eye doctor has stopped doing lasik. So what u think? Succumb to those advertisements?
