rugged eyeglass frames

[oj88]

i have kakilala. bili siya ng reading glasses sa divisoria by the dozen. she keeps losing them left and right.

bili po kayo ng eyeglass tali. sabit sa leeg kapag hindi nasa ilong..
or, you might go to a government hospital and look for the ophtha dept. there might be an optical branch there, selling at rock-bottom prices for the masses consulting there. i happened to go once, and at their price, i ordered two sets at once. not gucci-esque, but certainly use-able.

It's the lenses that are expensive. My lenses alone costs a little over 8k.. and that's not even the TOTL. The necklace thing naman is too old-school for me.

same here..... problem naman sa akin is i use two glasses. one for distance and one for reading. dont like the progressive type and the bifocal types eh... so sa akin, its either i lose the distance or i lose the reading before they are broken.

My lenses are progressive + Transitions + multicoated. The progressive grading takes some getting used to but after a few days to a couple of weeks, muscle memory takes over and focusing on things, near or far, will just be down to reflex. If you opt for one, don't get the cheapest/the entry-level progressive lenses. These lenses have a very narrow usable 'viewing window'. More expensive ones have wider usable lens area so you wouldn't have to pan your head left and right too often to focus on something.
