Eh like that just change frequently then okay kot? Change frequently is still cheaper than getting those branded lens.

Another thing is that I used to have Essilor and Carl Zeiss lens...eventually also scratched and have flakes.

Whut? If Carl zeiss has flakes u can go claim warranty within first two years.

Go back that optometrist and diu 9 them. Either they swap and ordered a cheapo lenses for u or u kena scam. I had mine for more than 5 years and still in prestige condition.

the thinner and the thick one COST THE SAME if you order direct from alibaba , only that they know ppl want thinner one because it is lighter.

1.74 thicker
1.61 thin
1.56 thinner

only US$0.50 PER PAIR IF u purchase more than 500 pairs
$5 for 1 pair

Maximum order quantity: 10 pair
Sample price:
US$5.00/pair

Actually those branded lens and capalang lens..got big difference?

Ayam order from optometrist je thinnest one cause ayam use thick thick glasses.

Then ada kazen open shop sell so order from them.

U self ordered who gonna tailor it for u into the frames etc. ask them do one pair gonna cost u 150. Why double work and cost.

i used Hoya last time because can claim. then after switch job cannot claim anymore go do cheaplack lense. after wear 1 day i straight take out from own pocket and do back branded lense.

your eye will get tired super fast on normal lense. i wear my specs all the time. so wear cheap lense really take a toll. if you are used to cheap lense. dont go with the expensive one. its a point of no return.

Is it? I bought from Focus Point some more...I also don't know kena scammed or not dllm but the guy show me like got the "branding name" on the glass under fog/mist.

So after that I am like fuck it, ain't gonna spend so much for specs. 500 max...and so I got the Kodak lens...seems so far so good.

sorry if I am being unclear, the margin from this business is quite big

even if I order direct I know someone who can cut it for me for a fee

I'm really curious how much a spec actually cost. from zaman dulu-dulu they already said that spectacles shop mark up a LOT is a very profitable business. how much a lot is that be?

Yea I need advice on this too. I got Nikon Seemax lenses for my 450 astigmatism 3 years ago and the coating has peeled off. I got them for like RM 2k+ from Iconic Lab in Mid Valley.

Few weeks ago I went back and the price for the same lenses are almost RM 4k. Wtf? I can't be spending 3-4K every 2-3 years on this.

Zeiss lense have their logo mark on the lense, you can also have your name or initials engraved there as well. So far i am happy with Zeiss. scratches i think all lense will kena.
For flaking / peeling, i only have this problem with hoya so i didn't go with them anymore. I use my glasses very rough and dont take care one.

So last nite i bring my wife to change her spec

At first the salesgirl (cute cheeky amoi) said all spec frame in the cabinet are rm180

With lens that can change colour + protect from blue light will add rm200 so total for the spec will be rm380

Then another lady (mature awek tudung) bring my wife to do eyecheck and do some consultation and suddenly introduce a lense that can relax the eyes and the price shoot up to rm1200!!   

So i said its ok, no need that lense, just proceed with the rm380

Then suddenly if i like to proceed with that, need to wait for 1-2 weeks for them to order

WTH??   

Is this a normal practice? Bcoz now i realise like previous eyewear shop kinda do the same shit

For lense, just clean with water. That’s all. Don’t use whatever wipes etc.

And it’s 3 years ago so I’m not sure if it’s still within warranty. As far as I know Nikon offers two years warranty if the lenses turns yellow and starts flaking.

Buying branded because they have the quality and warranty lol

I also use them rough..I used my clothes or towel to wipe my lens daily  so I prefer to change them frequently like once a year or once every 2 years...so prefer dont wan spend so much

Flaking/peeling some how I kena 2 times...but forgot which brand - should be 2 out of the 3 Carl Zeiss, Hoya or Essilor...not sure if I kena scammed or it's supposed to be like that
