Style driven? Any examples? Hehe.. Tag Heuer Zenith? That's a pretty stylish pair...

Of course you can... the price of the lens will depend on how high your power is! Also, the sunglasses should not be too curved as you cannot fit in powered lenses in too curved sunglasses!

That's a unique brand! I do carry that brand as well, so do let me know which model you're interested in so we can all have a fair piece of comment, while I will see if I can offer you a better deal for that than what you'll get out there!

Hehe.. thanks for your kind comments!

I just made for a customer, 500-600+ not very costly also.. depends on what's your definition of costly!

Hey Locozz, wow, so many questions to answer here. Maybe we could discuss all of them in detail through PM!

Anyway, HOYA suntint series is great, and they have a great choice of colours as well! The darker tinted ones would actually give you less reflection colour, but I understand what you mean by that greenish hue to it tends to give. It's actually part of the multi-coat which is beneficial!

Mirror coating / iridium coating/ mercury coating. These are extra coatings together with polarize coat is actually available.. but because of their prices, people are not bothered to even consider them. The problem with using cheap coatings is they peel of easily and hence become really ugly. Anyway, if any of you is really interested in mirror/iridium coating, you can always look for me.

In regards to your question, for sure Carl Zeiss has transition among their range. To be honest, you'll pay more for a carl zeiss when Hoya or Essilor is good enough. These brands have smudge resistance, scratch, blablabla resistance among their options. Lets face it, in Malaysia, these are the 2 most reliable and top brands and I only recommend them to all my customers. If you want Carl Zeiss, it wont be a problem looking for them.. but that's just if you have spare change to offer in my humble opinion!

Depending on how high your power is, you can easily make the power shades anywhere. I can help you make them as well. But if your power is too high, the lenses will be too thick and it wont look good/fit. So try searching for shades which are not so curved!

Their called transitions/photochromic/light adaptive.. different brands use different names. All the same!

I would suggest Rb 3360, quite a new model and very much in fashion! Google it out!

I've to agree with eggtart though.. Rb 3310 is really old and I doubt you'll find it. Even if you do find it out there, it will be because it's old stock and cant be sold!

Just my 2 cents! Oh by the way, there's SO many different raybans so if one is not available, there's plenty that looks alike! That's the uniqueness about Rayban!

Which brand and model are you looking at? Maybe I can try getting some good deals for you!

Well not really.. could retrofit prescription lenses into the sunglasses, so most can be done. But then if there's serious myopia, then the lenses would be much thicker especially if it has a high base curve.

I've done power lenses for customers with power of -6.00 to -7.00 on base 6 curves like Oakley Whiskers!

LoL! What a weird idea.. sure you can.. but what's the point? The paintwork will be low quality as well.. it'll be off in no time. Plus, it's gonna be low quality material also. Gosh... just get an original pair! It's surely gonna last you a long long time!

LOL! All sunglasses reduces glare, and the glare is usually from sunlight.

Polarized sunglasses reduces EXTRA glare of sunlight from flat/smooth surface. Hence, it provides additional glare reduction. The article explains it well

Skyline's quite polular for their wear-over shades. Was it a wear over shade you bought?

Nah, Rm 80 with polarized feature is a pretty good deal, and it should be safe cause I think the lenses gives 100% UV protection!

Prices on the oakley website and the prices in Malaysian retail is totally different. Polarized lenses have recently shot up in price, so expect quite a fair bit for it.

Haha.. Quicksilver isnt bad at all really. I personally have a pair and it's very durable.

Most polarized sunglasses are REALLY POLARIZED too..

Extremely difficult to find I can assure you, 99.99% you wont be able to get it!

It's probably due to constant pressure effect on the middle over the 3 years.. since it's a once piece anyway, the force was probably directed to the middle. New one piece lenses are expensive, that's if you can even find someone willing to take them in for you. IMHO, start looking for a new pair!

Bro, HOYA lenses are one of the leading and most famous brand for lenses in Malaysia! It's surprising you havent heard about them!

Bro, I know why! You dont use prescription lenses! HOYA specializes prescription lenses. You're lucky to have perfect vision!

Yup, it's the same company. Most other companies do the same thing, make lenses for camera and specs. Eg Nikon, Carl Zeiss, etc

In regards to lenses, there's plenty of lenses available in the market. For example, HOYA, ESSILOR, CARL ZEIS, other non-branded lenses, locally made lenses, etc.

Those in caps are among the top brand for lenses. There's plenty of advantage getting these lenses and they offer very much higher quality in terms of it's protection and coatings. So of course I would recommend people to use the good lenses for the good of their eyes. I mean, if you're willing to spend on looks (frames), then surely you should invest in something GOOD for your eyes (lenses)!

In what sense do you say it's unreliable?

Their sunglasses IMHO are fair, as I've used one sporty one during my high school for numerous occasions, sporty occasions most often. Until today they look fine, just that all the rubber parts have cracked and became old it cant be used anymore. But that's a normal ageing process I believe.

For the price of Rm 150-200, you really cant be looking at any big brands like Oakley or Rayban. Probably an unbranded pair. There's plenty out there!

Sorry? you're comparing polarized and non-polarized? It's up to personal preference, not about which is better. Check out the link in the previous threads about polarized shades!

Sima Marketing is the SOLE importer of Raybans in Malaysia. I get my stock from them, so there's no doubt about it's authenticity. There are plenty of parallels out there, but most mix fakes with originals, so people wouldn't know. And the others dont offer the standard 1 year manufacturer's warranty. So Sima's Raybans are definitely the way to go.

You can easily browse around any establish optical stores like Focus Point, England optical, Paris miki etc at large shopping centres like Mid-valley, paviallion etc where they have a LARGE variety of sunglasses to choose from. In terms of choices, there's no better than these shops. In terms of prices though, it may not be the best
