murang eyeglasses

[pollywog]

...saan murang magpagawa ng salamin? OK ba sa The Optical Shop?

[yeah*baby*yeah]

ako yung salamin ko sa Ideal Vision ko nabili. okay dun kasi yung sa'kin Polo yung tatak nya. ang orig price nya is 2,400 pero i got it for only 1,200 kasi may 50% discount plus the lenses... ang nagastos ko lang is 1,500 lahat-lahat.

[pollywog]

Mura nga. Kal ko kasi mahal dun, mapuntahan nga...300 lang yung lens mo?! me coating na yun?

[lite]

Mas-mahal *** multi-coated *** lens. Dati sa Optical Shop (pero sobrang mahal dito) ako nagpapagawa ng eyeglasses nung malabo pa mata ko - mga 5 years ago. The multi-coated lens na manipis na costs Php2,600 yata.

[pollywog]

...Sa The Optical Shop ako nagpagawa, mura nga...1,200 lang yung multi-coated lens tapos 960(discounted) yung frame. 2,160 lang lahat.

Is Eyephorics considered affordable?

[Bulek26]

me, since i want to change my glasses often, gusto ko kasi iba ibang look, i buy the frames at i2i then just have the lens changed at an optocal shop. super laki ng matitipid. then you can buy as many as you want. =)

[sweet_7326]

try mo sa quiapo, along p. paterno st. ang daming optical shops dun. mura ang frame, mura din ang lens.

for mall based optical shops, the last glasses i've had binili ko lang sa sale bin ng rita optical sa glorietta.

I've been thinking about doing this for a long time already! :) Kahit saang optical shop ba, nag-aagree sila na palitan ang lens? And how much magagastos for the replacement and everything? :) Thanks a lot!

[mrpathetic]

yes, any optical shop will do lens for you, even if you didn't buy the frame from them...

do try george optical or vinas in virra mall...

i am currently using silhouette frame with airware lenses...total bill: P9,000. =)

[PogingMongoloid]

try sabater pascual, they're good and fairly priced :) ... my friends buy their frames from me :D ... i wouldn't recommend yun sa i2i, disposable type mga frames nila e for their sunglasses

[mrpathetic]

sabater carries some brands which others don't, like Alain Mikli...however, because of this, they can command a higher price...i used to get my frames there but since i'm buying common branded frames, i usually canvass first, and end up buying sa iba...but if you want one of a kind frames, sabater is the place...
try J Vinas at Shangri-La...they have Rodenstock there, something "rare" here...and brands like Kata...=)

Mango has some very nice shades. They range from 1600-2000 I think. I bought mine there (it broke nga lang)

[anguissette]

Oh, disregard previous post. Thought you were looking for shades, not eyeglasses :D

[cybernaut]

what's the difference between multi-coated and dun sa hindi multi-coated na lens?! kase multi-coated lens are too pricey

[brianpex]

I think the multicoated lenses are better for eliminating glare, especially when you work in front of a computer a lot.

[paupyrrole]

meron din na scratch resistance and shock proof para dun sa walang under frame na style na eyeglasses pero medyo mahal..

[camisaroja]

Ideal is highly recomended. And the eye doctor there is one hot lady!

I call her Dr. Honey (atleast in my mind)

[brianpex]

Yes, I was told that for rimless frames that screw into a hole drilled in the lens, multicoated lenses are mandatory.

ako yung frame ko binili ko lang sa department store nabili ko sya ng 350 tpos *** lense is 300 (the optical shop).. laking mura di ba?

[tsokolat]

nabili ko yung frame ng eyeglasses ko ng P200 tapos yung lens P600 kase multi coated na :)

[RLboy]

Among the frame brands around, which brand will you recommend? And where to find 'em?

[brianpex]

Safilo makes good quality, affordable frames. Not exactly cheap, but remember that your eyeglasses are on your face and are what people will be seeing the most of when talking to you.

I would avoid "designer" frames since most of your money will be paying for the designer's name on an otherwise cheap, mass-produced frame. There are some exceptions but this is a good general rule.

[skuidward]

^ Ideally, I'd go for Oakley prescription frames. Sobrang tibay. My brother has one at kahit maipit niya sa car or sa bed pag natutulog buo pa rin yung salamin.

The only downside of it is the price. Mahal.

[brianpex]

^ I had a pair of Oakley RX but didn't like them that much.

[skuidward]

^Maybe the fit?

[brianpex]

^ No but Oakleys always make me want to drink a can of Mountain Dew, street luge down C5 flyover and then bungee jump off our condo.

[skuidward]

^ :lol: Oakley then should put warnings on their eyewear.

Basically you need polarized sunglasses. Lots of brands make them.

[supercrapper]

[camisaroja]

Are Safilo's sold locally?
Like around how much for a pair?
This ain't just a fashion eyeglass, right? Are they durable?

Can you swear by Oakley Prescription's durability?
Like when you accidentally sleep with your glasses on or when you accidentally sat on it both the frame and the lens are still good?
I've had these accidents and I end up buying a new pair. :(

Yes Safilo frames are available locally at many optical shops. They usually cost P3k upwards. They're well made and durable.

[mathwitch]

guys, have you tried buying at zennioptical.com?

[danL]

what are the chances that my vision grade will increase?

I'm an IT professional and always exposed to computers.....

....but, i don't use multicoated lenses just the standard.......

need your feedbacks....

[takobets]

when i started using multi coated lenses, my grade stopped increasing. i suggest you use them so you get protected from the uv rays of your monitor.
