Voodooman Supersonic November 4, 2016 Share November 4, 2016 (edited) $440 for progressive lenses mean thr frame is branded my Nike titanium with progressive high index cost $390. Anyway my first progressive spect with Ray-Ban frame cost $600+ $440 is excluding frame. Lens are plastic lens, if I had opted for glass, lagi expensive. Not sure if lens suppliers are raising prices or my worsening asti is a factor but prices are getting ridiculous. My lens used to cost $300 plus. But I checked with another optical shop subsequently and it is about the same price, they even showed me a brochure with the listed price. So guess I didn't get carrot after all. You also old man like me. Haha.. Edited November 4, 2016 by Voodooman ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayban frame + prescription glasses. Zzz the plastic of the sidearms are sticky i think due to heat exposure from my old car. But the lenses are still fine.

If so, the sunglasses got prescription lens too? or do you wear those fit over ones? If u wear specs, either get sunglasses with prescription lens or wear contact lenses with normal sunglasses, it's too glaring to drive without sunglasses especially if u drive in the direction of morning sun, or setting sun 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few years back, when i was wearing an older specs, had a pair of those fit-over ones to go with it, but now new specs is a bit bigger, so can't fit anymore. In that part of the world, not sure why, but the sun seems lots bigger and brighter If u wear specs, either get sunglasses with prescription lens or wear contact lenses with normal sunglasses, it's too glaring to drive without sunglasses especially if u drive in the direction of morning sun, or setting sun Yup, most days I don't drive under the hot/bright sun too much, but on days when under the sun, the glare is quite obvious...

My last pair of crizal which I got here, comes with papers, or is it cert, can't really recall. Simple. Just breathe heavily and closely for five seconds onto the lens, they will fog up but not the words "Crizal". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can make polarised prescription lenses (i did ask about them), U have to take into account polarised means you can't read GPS screen when driving. Yeah the sun even in spring in Perth and NZ were way brighter than SG, probably due to the lack of cloud cover there.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last i checked with a shop at city square, marginally cheaper than my usual optician in Singapore. Prefer to support local retailers if they are competitive. By from www.foptics.club!
