Thinking of getting a substantial pair of aviator-style glasses in KL, any suggestions? I've got amblyopia and hyperopia in my left eye and astigmatism in my right; I'm also color-blind and have aeropia. Not a good combo, hahaha.

You will appreciate the quality of each handmade frame and top notch customer service. Look for Esther, she is a handmade eyewear aficionados. Dang, aight, thanks. How about Paris? Iirc they have a wide selection of frames too, right? I'm thinking of getting a mediocre-frame aviator glasses with a higher quality glass, if that's possible.

QUOTE(locozz03 @ Sep 10 2019, 11:54 AM) Pa**s has more variety, and you can find many common brands on their shelves too e.g: Tom Ford, Oakley, Ray Ban etc....while i****c lab is specialised in Japanese Handmade eyewear only. You can get the real RayBan aviator frame, then fit with a good Rx lenses. What is your budget like? If you have huge allocation, then maybe you can consider first or second tier lenses from Tokai/Nikon/Seiko (their top tier all made in Japan). If you are on a limited budget, i highly recommend Hoya with HVLL coating as it comes with 2 year’s warranty, or you may want to consider Asahi-Lite, least known brand name with very big reputation. Asahi, together with Mitsui company are the inventor of many high-index lenses and surprisingly they are the lens blank manufacturer for Zeiss. Pa**s has wider range of lenses too, they even bring younger-optic (another least known US brand with high reputation). Thanks for the information. My budget is around RM800. Should I consider Seiko/Hoya? I do think I'll look for a Ray-Ban aviator frame.

QUOTE(locozz03 @ Sep 11 2019, 03:37 PM) Is that allocation for both frame and lenses or just a frame? I’m not sure how much is RayBan aviator would cost you, but with that budget i think Asahi UV3G lens fits your budget. Better HEVL protection compared to those blue reflection coating stuff, and almost similar performance as Tokai Lutina. Less yellowish with regular green reflection (instead of annoying blue). Check/PM with Hunakadoo, he probably able to workout on something with your budget. Note : I’m not affiliated with any optical stores and neither practicing optometry nor optical store owner. Just a regular guy who has passion for eyewear. For both frame and lenses. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I do prefer a greenish tint over any other color.
