magkano magpawa ng glasses these days?

[badkuk]

i visited an optical shop this afternoon to get new glasses. ang naiquote sa kin for plastic, multilayered lens is 4k a pair -- nikon daw ung tatak. parang ang mahal sobra. the last time nagpagawa ako(2001), la pang 3k and nagastos ko, kasama na ung frame.

any idea how much it should cost?

[corbon44]

had a pair made a month ago, also spent 4K (got it at this shop in ATC)...i think that's reasonable, since i wear them from the time i wake up in the morning till going back to bed.

to help you decide better, consider also that a pair of contacts cost around the same amount (this is the ordinary ones though. durasoft costs almost 6K. though in my opthalmologist's opinion, durasoft is less durable as it is thinner, that's why she would recommend the ordinary ones), and eye surgery is around 40K.

[badkuk]

hmmm...ganun na ba talaga presyo these days? duda ko kasi ung mahal na lens ang inalok sa kin, i.e. nikon(hmmm i wonder if this is the same company that makes camera lenses)

[Hero]

ang mahal ng lens dito sobra... ako rin nagtanong 4+ din aabot.. sa hk na lang ako magpapagawa mas malinaw at mabilis pa, last time na nagpagawa ako dun 2+ lang nagastos ko ultra thin multicoated!

my 3 cousins swear by eye surgery.. buti nga bumaba na presyo alam ko dati nasa near 100k...

nagpagawa lang din ako ng new eyeglasses 2 weeks ago sa sarabia. 4K nga ang nikon lenses na multicoated ultrathin.

From what I know, applicable lang yung Eye/Lasik Surgery sa mga taong matataas ang grado ng mata.

[boybi]

... and eye surgery is around 40K.

60K na daw ngayon sa American Eye Center, according to my friend who had just underwent Lasik.

last time ako nagpagawa ng eyeglasses sa sarabia megamall was 4 years ago. i think it cost me around 10K.. the lenses are lite ultra thin tapos yung frame made of titanium...

i went for LASIK procedure at St Luke's Hospital 2 years ago and i'm very happy with the result...

Maybe you got the ordinary multi coated lenses before. Nikon plastic lenses cost more than ordinary multi coated ones.

chong..suki ako ng mga optical shops..herhehrer...

2k ,multi layered na at anti glare.manipis narin yun at magaan.

try mo sa mga executive optical shops.

may bad experience ako sa THE OPTICAL SHOP sa gateway.nagpagawa ako, sinira nila yung rudy project ko na frame.dinikit lang.nalaman ko nalang recently na dinikit lang kasi natanggal na yung dikit.tapos hindi pa opareho yung lens na ginamit.yung isa makapal yung isa manipis.grabe noh?

anyway..ganun lang mga lens kol

[pissword]

akin kasi mababa lang ang grade ng glasses ko, kaya pag multicoated 1,200 tapos pag yung ordinary, nasa 200-400 lang ata ang lense.

pero kasi nung nagpagawa ako 3000K yung frame na kinuha ko kaya 4K pa rin inabot

[corbon44]

...hindi pa opareho yung lens na ginamit.yung isa makapal yung isa manipis.grabe noh?

bro, might be magkaiba grado/defect ng mata mo...ganun din sa kin e, left is pure astigmatism and yung right is may near-sightedness (kung anu-ano kasi tinitingnan e, ehehehe!) kaya different talaga sila...

bilog:Maybe you got the ordinary multi coated lenses before. Nikon plastic lenses cost more than ordinary multi coated ones.

pero bat mas mahal? i might consider getting them only if they'r tougher or more scratch resistant.

[boybi]

mas thinner kasi ang Nikon lenses compared sa ordinary lenses. and mas clearer daw.

[nicolodeon]

It depends. Sa akin, umabot ng 5 figures. I really have bad eyes na kasi (no thanks to spending nearlly all my working life in front of a computer monitors). The good doc also had the lens treated so it would give me protection from UV rays.

[1D4LV]

just had mine a month ago. cost around 2500.00.
plastic multi-layered with UV protection. may clip on shades pa.

[badkuk]

thanks for the responses. i finally got a set made for 3k

Hero: Beg to differ, ang layo ng price ng eyeglasses sa HK dito, mom ko nagpagawa ng eyeglasses dun dati, yung lens na automatic nagiiba ang shade pag indoor or outdoor, it costs 4x cheaper here in Manila than in HK.
