If standard lense + frame, RM2k expensive. Should be few hundred RM only. Maybe TS wife has astig + making high index lense
My multifocal, Essilor, high index with astig some more was RM1.3k. Mid range price, made after COVID 2nd lockdown
The 3rd & 4th lense in the list (best & 2nd best) are above RM1.5k. Oh yeah, within 1 week can get liao. If normal lense, 2 to 3 days

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.

QUOTE(DatoChin @ Dec 27 2023, 09:07 AM) 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. You DatoChin of England optical ah?

My Zeiss drive safe lenses(for night driving) is around RM2k after 15% discount. Titanium frame another 1k. Takes 2 weeks to arrived.
Another Transition lenses(glass turns darker at Sun) is rm700 with rm300 big frame oakley lookalike. Few days siap.
Backup Cheapo spec with no function under rm400 from mall chain store optic shop same day can siap.
Basically its all depends on your budget and what function u need it for.

QUOTE(cycheah @ Dec 27 2023, 09:31 AM) luckily uncle cheapskate never took special lens b4. it's quite pricey imo. QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Dec 27 2023, 09:26 AM) When I was a teen and needed spectacles every 1-2 years.... "relaxing" should be the core/expected feature in all the spectacles made/purchased. It took few days to get used to and relax with a new pair. if still not relaxed after wearing them... then obviously they are made wrong. Now they are peddling "relax" as a SPECIAL FEATURE to top up $$$ to get. its getting ridiculous . 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 This post has been edited by JimbeamofNRT: Dec 27 2023, 11:17 AM

Ts kena chop 9 street long Sudah.
All those rainbow light filters are scammer penipu with syiok sendiri only.
A basic lense only with different quality is what makes the difference. For 1200 can go for HD Nikon lense Siap with balance for cny goodies. LEL

QUOTE(Duckies @ Dec 27 2023, 11:17 AM) Actually those branded lens and capalang lens..got big difference? Scratch resistance quality and lasting longer than most basic ones. Basic 1-3 years. Nikon or leica can last 3-5 years with top clear lenses. Not sure if you’ve seen. Some lense will become flaky and peel off or tiny scratches built up over time. Some even worse - clear lense turns yellow. Those turn yellow are the lowest quality grade of cheapo that shouldn’t even be sold in the first place. They cost less than 10 for below 500 degree and being sold for 20-30 fold their price. If u ever buy one that turns yellowish after a year, avoid that shop.

Another thing is that I used to have Essilor and Carl Zeiss lens...cost me over 1k but eventually also scratched and have flakes. 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. This post has been edited by Duckies: Dec 27 2023, 11:26 AM

QUOTE(krusellblazar @ Dec 27 2023, 08:55 AM) 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. https://thoneh.my/How much the eye test costs at this hospital? Thinking to send my kid there.
