Hi
Is there any optical shop you guys can recommend?

Want to buy a new frames but I'm not really good at choosing which frames are suitable for my face

At the end i tend choosing a frames that are not suit with my face and end up feel regretted after that

so i need a good optometrist that can suggest and choose which frames are suitable with my face where they care our needs, not merely chasing their sales only

If you guys know which optical shop has those criteria, please suggest it to me

Thanks

I did mine at Eyelab Optical, in Subang Jaya opposite INTI College, same row as McDonald's. That was back in Nov 2016.

I wanted a basic specs with photochromic lenses back then, budget RM500-700. Then, the optician recommended me to upgrade since I used PC a lot. Cost more, about RM1300 in total, but since I could claim some amount from company, I upgraded.

That amount included:
- frame and lenses (left eye: astigmatism 100 & right eye: myopia 350)
- photochromic lenses (become sunglasses fast when exposed to UV/sunlight)
- blue light filter (blue light is bad for eyes. Read more here )
- RelaxSee by Nikon (relieve eyestrain due to long hours of reading/computer work)

Till today, I'm still wearing the same specs (Feb 2019); still in good condition, 2 years 2 months later, & extremely comfortable. I can wear specs and do work whole day without getting dizzy or having dry, painful eyes. It just feels natural and comfortable. My eyesight maintains the same reading; didn't increase in astigmatism or myopia.

I never regret that purchase decision. If I wanna change specs next time, I'll go back to the same optician.

Did that optician suggest which of frames were suitable for your face?

I didn't have any problem choosing the frame myself.

If you need help choosing a frame, this website will help:
What are the Best Glasses for My Face Shape?

1. On the website, after you choose your face shape, you can see the recommended types of frames (scroll down to see more).
2. Take a screenshot of the recommended types.
3. Go to the optical shop and test the recommended types till you find a comfortable one that fits your cheek width & eye-to-ear length.

dis is good

Thanks for your positive feedback! Glad it's of help to you.

Usually frame is the last thing i worry.

I spend more on the lens instead cause I like transition lens either by Hoya or Essilor. There's also those lens that helps to filter certain lights that may damage our eyes, especially for those that spend lotsa time in front computer. Go open another same topic in /k, i vaguely remember there's someone from /k that own an optical shop in KL. Maybe you can get better advise from that person.
