eyeglass lens & frames

[papi smith]

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.

Sounds like a winner. Thank you.

may nakatry na ba sa paris miki and own days? Yung machine magcheck ng eyes habol ko kita daw hangang loob so parang medical level na.

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

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.

[_Qwerty_]

sa Own days, may ophthalmologist pa din na titingin.. medyo mahal din sila.. yung mura nila parang laruan yung mga frames..

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.

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)

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.

I use a frame with photochromic lenses on when driving or outdoors. These lenses aren't as expensive anymore and I would recommend it for driving.

mas sikat sya sa name na Transition lenses dati, brand pala yung transition parang pag toothpaste eh colgate tawag hehe.

pero pansin ko sa akin eh pag naka full tint windshield eh hindi halos nag d-dark kasi walang nag pe-penetrate the UV light sa windshield.

Yan din pagkakaalam ko sa photochromic lenses. Activated by UV at dahil blocked na ang UV sa windshield, hindi na yan magpapalit ng kulay. CMIIW.

tsikoteers,

sumaliksik kayo pag eyehealth. Kahit ano suot nyo glasses pero nagworsen pa eh sayang mga ginastos nyo.

Kaya pag naghanap kayo infornation dapat ang kausap nyo pang international level information. Pag noypiss haaay nakowh puro pagkakwartahan priority. You wiil be their economics wala katapusan yan.

Again dapat bumababa ang grado nyo sa mata

the use of glasses does not decrease one's grade of the eyes. neither does it guarantee that one's grade will be arrested as time passes.
from what i remember from lectures several decades old, only surgery may significantly lower one's eye grade.

many of our local eye doctors are world-class.

having seen doctors work and train abroad, i can say with straight face,
"foreign doctors do not hold the patent to quality. neither does the pilipino have exclusive rights to stupidity."
perhaps the only advantage the foreign, i.e., US, doctors, have, over us, is their seeming widespread technology.

apologies for the strong words.
i feel strongly, kasi.
