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

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

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
