Thinking of getting myself a new spectacle. I have slight long-sightedness and quite heavy astigma. Came across some ads from googling: https://www.zeiss.com.my/vision-care/en_my/home.html

Budget around: 500~700

I work in the IT field and deal with PC everyday, I do game alot and face PC alot at home too. Want some quality lenses to block blue light and any good feature that helps.

Any /k here got own Zeiss Lenses before? How is the experience? I know they make good lenses for photography jer

Also, is my budget sufficient to get a pair?

i'm using Hoya now, not too bad..

in a photography sense, because it blocks abit blue light,
the photos look more warmer!... hahahahah
nah just kidding, i cant tell the difference, because if i take my glasses off i cant SEE!!

btw, i exp no eye pain from long use of monitors, TVs, and phone.
so i guess it really works?.

hows the price? is my budget sufficient tho? I assuming if you cant see without it which means power and cost to make should be quite high. I need an estimate haha

dun't think u can get for 700 for lens and frame...

how about just lenses? I mean my frame is still quite sturdy and solid

Have been using lenses by HOYA, quite good.

They do have a medium range lenses by HOYA Group also, currently using that range ones. Someone once told me that HOYA lenses are more suitable for asians because due to caucasians having sharper features, the distance between the lenses and the eyes are different, the angles can be different and it takes a longer time to adjust to the lenses bla bla bla bla...

But I have used it for a long time so no complaints. Mine is multifocal so the prices are more expensive though. Tried with some generic lenses last time because I wanted to save cost but godammit, i had headaches like crazy. And switched to HOYA, boom gone! And yes with blue light filter, things seem to be slightly warm.

thanks for the info. how about price? mind sharing abit?

in fact I just made a new pair yesterday, prices depending on your power i think? The one I made cost me about 900+, but mine is multifocal, more expensive and on top of that I add transition too. Haven't added in the frame yet. haha.

ah I see. good to know. my case most likely wont be needing multifocal or transition. I can still see well without glasses and actually uses sun glasses for outdoor. just the astigma part is bad

I'll look into HOYA then. I think Zeiss wont fit my budget

My spec is Zeiss lens,bought from Hunakadoo shop

Highly recommended for professional service

Zeiss is super expensive for blue light filter lens. In the end i bought crizal which is also a premium brand. Should be able to fit your budget. Hoya.... didnt like it.

That's cheap

quite cheap for Hoya multifocal + transition.

It's not HOYA, it's SSI or something, by HOYA group. Probably one of the sisters company or something.
I was first introduced to it 2 years ago, seems fine to me due to the price, previously was using HOYA but it is slowly becoming more and more expensive, so I chose this. The last Sunday went to change to the shop to do it again, using back the same brand. haha.

my power is above 350, thats why they had me to buy the hoya lens, due to the standard lens goes only up to 300...
or some bullshit like that la, normal la they salesman...

but i paid 300 for my glass, and 300 for my frame..

Calling Lowyat expert @Hunakadoo hahaha

i use zeiss digital lenses..but somehow i like the lenses that O.W.L uses (for my backup glases) better...

Used Nikon, Zeiss, Hoya, Owndays. To me, Zeiss stands out with the sharpest vision at night and display viewing。

my got my blue light filtering lenses + myopia from OWL.
probably some unknown brand

just the lenses cost RM260 , frame not included

i can't feel any difference, i face PC / laptop a lot

thanks for all the feedback guys. Will research more
