blue light is the sole strongest regulator of circadian rhythm. aka melatonin is inhibited in the presence of.

now, upstream to that fact is a shitton of exploitable unsubstantiated but semi-studied theories, paid for and published or not, by any one sector who could leverage for their own marketing reasons, if unsure wait the beta idio- testers first

point is, you're not getting high dose iv melatonin, whether you wear 3 inch plutonium vantablack welding mask 24/7 or not, and if you are, tnf alpha IL 6 and IL1b says hi. Too much of any good thing.

u guys are so funny. complain about RM1000 specs.

My theory is simple. Eye is the most important organ, some say kukuciao but i disagree. Anyway handphone u all can spend 5-7k but eyewear 1k is too much? lol

i realize all the cheapo frame is tend to be heavier, more stress to your nasal bone, the optometrist recommend me IC berlin and it is very light, but the price is extremely on the high side

Fearmongering datang lagi.

heart/lung/kidney also most important organs.. and there are respective MLM companies peddling expensive dubious products that claimed to protect them.

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!!  doh.gif  bangwall.gif

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??  doh.gif  bangwall.gif

Is this a normal practice? Bcoz now i realise like previous eyewear shop kinda do the same shit
*
yea nowdays quite alot shop doing this type of airasia style or hardsell marketing .
people need to know when there's free frame , rm1 frame , rm50 frame promo most likely will ask u end up top up few hundred on top for the final bill .

anyway it depends your budget too , to go for non branded lens or branded lens & frame


QUOTE(kidmad @ Dec 27 2023, 09:22 AM)
yes i have very bad experience with it.. the blue light + having different focal point for reading purpose is pure scam. Since my exp with Essilor i avoid the brand plus all these gimmick things they want to put into the glass.

My only glass go to Zeiss drive safe period.
*
recently essilor coating not too great i would say , zeiss will be safer .


QUOTE(acbc @ Dec 27 2023, 10:50 AM)
I got mine done at Sg Wang. The frame plus lens is below 100 bucks and if the power if below 300, no extra charges. If above, need to top up 200 bucks. All in, I need to top up and all comes to a total of 380 and 45 mins wait. Go makan at Damascus and after a great lamb meals, collected the glasses.
*
depends quality too bro , my advice is go for those need to takes 1-2 days to be done lenses , basically 30-45 minutes wait lenses would be their stock lens (they might store your power inside their store > 6 months or more)
so the lifespan of ur lens could be shorter .

QUOTE(smallcrab @ Dec 27 2023, 10:58 AM)
Multifocal lense cost more and may take up to 1 week

yes, the experience just made me feel got scammed  bangwall.gif
else, case+cloth should be a compulsory for every glasses purchase, not on term basis

indeed , case + cloth or lens cleaner should come with every glasses purchase.

that's not fearmongering la. I mean to say u use ur eyes 100% of them time as u awake. Why would u want to bicker about the price, moreoever the difference is merely 1k. Meanwhile ppl buy car 60k-150k.

Ask urself this. What car u driving now? Why not get a second hand kancil? Ur decision governed by "fear" ? no right? Then why would u think spending more on specs is because of fearmongering?

Some shop really want to scam especially to those first time making spec. They know that you dont know the price range (for the frame and glasses).
