    They replaced the frame, no questions asked. Fortunately, they still had the same frame brand and model but in black (the one I had was gun metal). Their policy is 6-month warranty with one-time replacement. I hope this replacement is sturdier than the first.

    its full frames not rimless. i'm guessing the weight is without lenses.

    owndays service is pretty darn good.

    the limiting factor in eyeglasses is the lens.
    at times, the establishment has no stock of the required grades, and has to order them pa.
    blessed are those with simple grades of their eyes.

    the last time i had glasses made, because my old frame got broken,
    i brought my old lenses; it took them a few minutes only, to grind them to size and install them in my new frames.

    I went to EO a few weeks ago, the price for progressive lens was 1800, with astigmatism it's 3400. Frames go as low as 1k. I guess it's a lot cheaper sa Paterno.

    opticians making grades for your prescription is fine with me.

    whether it is an optometrist or an ophthalmologist,
    the machine can only do so much, i.e., get you to the ballpark.
    afterward, the fine detail is done by the human operator. this is when your new glasses becomes great or simply ho-hum.

    but i still want an ophthalmologist to examine my eyes and get checked for possible disease.

    owndays ako for the longest time.
    Jins for lens replacement lang (kapag may frame ko). maayos sila kausap
    yung friend ko paris miki (no idea why)

    as for the machine... the only time na di ako gumamit ng machine to check my eyes was sa very first glasses ko (more than 20 years ago)

    tunay!
    like, half price.
    but their choices of frames might be on the low side...

    They have their store brand "seen". I bought one at 3k and it lasted longer than another brand which I bought at the store for the same price. They have higher priced "designer" frames if that's what you're looking for.

    oh!
    to clarify,
    ... what i meant was,
    they may not have as many frame model choices as the classy mall optical shops'.

    actually, the nicest frame that i ever had, came from one such paterno store... until it started getting sticky... like my camera body's...

    Doc, if you meant Paterno, I haven't been there yet pero it's well known na mura soon based on previous posts here.

    If you meant EO, what I noticed was they do have pricier frames but limited, probably to stay within their niche. Wala akong napansin na mga frames na 20k and up.

    May binebenta bang polarized clip ons sa optical shops? I see some sold online but it would be better if the lenses could be cut to fit my current glasses.

    I drive to work at noontime. Lightly tinted ang windshield but I get bothered by reflection ng dashboard.

    if you already have one on hand, you can probably bring it to the optical and ask them to cut the lenses to fit your frame.

    actually, I'm a bit skeptical about the quality of those clip ons online. I guess i'll try your suggestion.
