Mr Jialat, really need you help and other if you can identify this spectacles brand/model. Been searching the internet for quite some time and the closest that i can get is from Giorgio Armani. But still a lot of different. If I can found the exact model. Thanks.

Hey thinking of changing my spec. Main crititeria is to reduce the thickness of lens as my power is -6.5.

Problem is I am having a spec made up glass which I am not sure what is the index. If I go and make another spec, say 1.67 index, it might be thicker than current one. Then no point.

What is the max index I could get from the market now ?

Thinking of getting a smaller lens frame so that the lens will be thinner.

Also, will thinner (higher index) lens reduce the 'power rings'.

Highest index for plastic lens you can get is 1.76 by Tokai.

Power rings are obvious on the thick part of high index lenses due to the compactness of the material.
It can be reduced by polishing the edge of the lens.
Of course, the other option is to get smaller frame.

In terms of weight, plastic is always lighter than a glass lens.

Hope that answers your questions.

Kaneko cost 2000 and up right? What's so great about handmade frames hmm

It's not just the handmade. The material they use for the frame. The curing process for the material. The time taken to put it together by hand. Polishing of frame. The hinge quality.
You pay what you get.

Any recommended store to get them, I have hard time choosing which frame is suitable for me xD too fickle minded.

Should I wait and get it while I travel to japan end of the year, still long way to go haha.

If your spectacle can still be used. You can wait for japan. Many Japanese frames you can get there at a lower retail price compare to Malaysia.
Brands such as Dita, Masunaga, Matsuda, USH, Sugimoto Kei, On Beat, Chrome Hearts, 999.9 etc ... the list goes on

Cant wait for new specs, got a number of shops in Malaysia selling Japanese specs.
