Want to change my Oakley flak jacket Len to prescription Len

[Angchug]

Can anyone recommend a reasonable price optical shop? I like to change my lens to a progressive, transition and polarize. I went to a optical shop today and was told only Oakley USA could provide prescription Len for such frame. :(

Yes, I had mine done in the US, send it via courier.

And FYI, it's far cheaper then doing it locally, courier

Charges all in.

Polarized means u will have difficulty with digital screens in sunlight, do take note. For eg. HP or GPS.

Oh really? I have no problem reading my iPhone in direct sunlight when I wear polarized sunglass. In fact it's better coz it cuts the glare from the iPhone screen.

What Lala said is true, I can't. Need to remove glasses.

Told to me by my optometrist when i asked for prescription + polarised. She recommended just prescription

 

I guess most of us use for driving since we in MCF, so polarised may not be for everyone.

Polarised lenses are best for those doing outdoor sports especially winter sports.

 

Maybe not all screens are affected equally.
