magkano magpawa ng glasses these days?

**badkuk** · April 3rd, 2005 03:25 PM

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?

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.

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)

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.

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.
