can someone explain how these spec shops survive? through money laundering ah...

i change specs at most once every 2 years lol..

Specs buy in bulk and those ready made lenses costs less than 10 per eye wear.

The only cost is the optometrist machineries which costs 10k+

Those custom made lenses above 500 power are more expensive a bit. Margin is 80% so still a good profit.

So u see those frames so may patterns and all are actually damn cheap that they don’t care. Those pre set power between 100-500 costs rm5 per piece only.

U go shah Alam, some selling for rm59 only. 9 being the cost lol

Can haggle price and all.

Those big brands selling fixed higher price is like earning x times more those franchises.

Blue lens is a scam. The driving yellow film gimmick? Some may feel the difference if there’s you have what they call “flash”. Can’t recall the term now lol

Unless 1.74 and above 800 power, those thickness differences are negligible on the small frame. The lenses are cut down to the middle part which is thinner anyway.

Whatever brand they say, unless they can name it and can be verified like zeiss and Hoya, the rest are basically their in house brand with no difference as well. The coating on them nowadays can last 3-4 years regardless. Just wash with water - no soap no chemicals then wipe clean even after u went for some smoky bbq.

RM 1.1 K seems expensive.

Minus those fancy branded coating with in-house coating see whether can get within RM 500 or not.
