Visited TS's shop yesterday and bought an Oakley frame + Zeiss lenses. His prices were competitive(much cheaper than optical shops in the PJ area), as his prices quoted for generic lenses were cheaper than what I paid for in an optical shop in PJ area. I decided to go for branded lenses this time as I've only worn generic lenses all this while, as his prices were cheaper than the market rate.
"Subsidised" my dad a little as he grumbled that my glasses were too "expensive" as he was the paymaster.
I was surprised that he quoted me a good price for the Oakley frame that I selected, perhaps that's because it's an old model?

I was also quite skeptical in going for it at first since I am a girl, but he told me that it's perfectly fine for girls to wear Oakley frames(at least for the one that I've chosen lah).
I was also worried that the earsocks on the Oakley frame do require regular replacement(that's what I read from the internet), but I was relieved when he told me that they only have to be replaced once every 1-2 years. Hopefully what he said proves to be true
Surprisingly, my dad also bought a pair of spare spectacles from him for his painting hobby, which was priced reasonably as well.
Can't wait to collect my glasses from him next week.
