Branded lense like [B]Hoya or Zeiss memang near to 1k on cost. My friend open specs shop very transparent with me and how much profit he taking from my order punya. [/B]Too bad his shop bankrupt during covid. Now I go MOG do they do mark up 200-300 for the lense. But once you used to the atas lenses. You can’t go back edi. Eye get tired super fast when use cheapo lense.

Yes I can claim from company so my specs memang all near to rm2k 1 pair. No fucuk given.

Don’t buy from shops in malls they all cekik darah one

Get a proper optometrist to check ur eyes first then baru decide where to make lens

Not a retail chain store, but just a local shop in a shopping mall

QUOTE(tkwmm @ Dec 27 2023, 11:01 AM)
basic lens normally is their own house brand, which is chipalak and normally can done in few hour (if has stock on hands, which normally will, unless they only have booth)

Branded lens (Hoya, Essilor), yes, you need to wait them to order which take 1-2 week. Price is expensive and easy shoot up more than RM1000 if your power is high, and getting branded frame.

FYI, my specs cost RM1800++, Hoya Lens, Branded Sport Frame RM500++.

If the frame is not branded, not worth to pay for more than RM100, the cost of non-branded frame is less than RM5.

the frame is not branded, but fancy and looks good

my experience with eye glasses shop

one of their tactic is when you check your eyesight a.k.a power
they will always said that your power increased (or rarely decrease)
it will never static one

so power change mean need to change the spec

Thats why if u don’t notice you cant see or gotten more blur dont go check your eyes unless you willingly know you want to buy

Dulu dulu they are earning 10 times for each pair sold till there’s competitors coming in like owl hoot etc that sells 199 for a pair.

Even that they are making 5 times the cost for each pair sold unless those need to custom made to order.

Even then they cost 100-300 for each pair like those with ast power over 1000 and being sold around 800-1200

I think there is another chain before OWL that selling cheap spec+lens in sunway pyramid for under rm200 that start the cheap spec trends. more than 10 years ago IIRC

but yes, margin is quite big
