Previously since I'm working (that I bough spec myself), ayam always bought the fancy feature that total up the cost to be around RM1k per spec.

I thought that is the normal price (that i'm paying for nice2 feature etc). Then I just found out 3 years ago (when company give eyewear coverage for rm200 per year), that there is a normal spec with good enuf feature and frame for less than RM200.

Felt kena scammed for all those 10 years that ayam doing spec for RM1k each. The RM200 spec is great enuf for me that I dont feel any downgrade whatsoever...

Just go to Thoneh if you are around KL. I dont trust optometrist already.
Last time I went to one cause got free check, turns out my right eye power is 150 or something that i need glasses.
Next day went to Thoneh cause paranoid and want 2nd opinion. There they say my eyes power on 75 or something, basically its too low to start using glasses.

Selling blue lens is one of the common upscale tactics to earn more profit.

Despite many push from the indsutry for researcher to produce a benefit report of blue lens. So far still no onclusive study thqt said blue lens help. So u can imagine how useless this upgrade other than give u blue tinted glasses.

As for lens that can relax. This is new to me. New scam? The wallet definitely not relax after hearing the price.

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.

Multi focal works, but takes a long time to train your eyes co-ordination to work with it

change color?.....transition lenses ah?
Lenses ready stock in shop depends on the lenses brand, feature n power lor, if they don't have that specific feature or power lenses, they will need to order it from their supplier, which might take few days or a week......2 week too long dy

what rubbish 1 - 2 weeks.. like that they can close shop liao.. i went owndays to buy their frames cause i love them.. then i went to focus point / dr specs / a-look.. in less than a week i will get my spec installed with Zeiss lenses already.. same goes to Hoya, Kodak. These are the glasses i have experience with.

Of coz less than a week. But they will still quote you 1-2 weeks just to be safe. Especially end year with lots of holidays like this. Their lead time will be the same coz in the end they all send to the same factory to fit in the lenses

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

Branded lense like 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. 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.

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
