rugged eyeglass frames

**dreamur** · June 17th, 2016 02:07 PM

Im 20/20 for distance but +150 for reading. Been using an oakley frame for 3 years and have replaced the lense once due to scratches. Using the progressive+transition which is very practical for both work and home. The only problem is the extra monitor which requires me to tilt my head to get the right angle for reading. I got a stiffed neck once until I replaced the 2nd monitor with a bigger screen.

Not really, no. It felt weird at first because you have to make a conscious effort to move your head. But again, if you wear your glasses even if they're seemingly uncomfortable, you'll adjust to it faster.

in my case, i hated it. i couldn't "adjust".
finally, i asked the optician to make me one with half moon design, and one classic businessman's (yung hati ng lens ay horizontal).

Practice makes perfect. Just give your eyes a rest once it feels uncomfortable. Once situation you should be careful of is going down a flight of stairs.

medyo OT, but can anyone recommend a lens type/brand that is scratch-proof? Less than a week of use, i already have a scratch :p

glass lenses are actually more scratch-resistant then the current plastic lenses.
but for issues of safety, i'd veer away from glass lenses because... they're glass. in the event of an "accident", lenses are cheap. eyes are not.

Yeah, with plastic most likely the whole lens just pops out when hit...you can still pop it back in, scratches and all.
With glass, game over na

I change my glasses every 5 years or so. It's a good thing my grade doesn't go up because lenses are expensive. It stuck at 120 100 ata. I would die if I lost my glasses since I absolutely cannot drive without it. I buy from Almeda. They have good deals on frames.

Nice to hear from you again mam Cathy ^_^

Ako usually every 2 years, mainly because the lenses get scratched up, or nagpi peel yung coating. Baka japeks yung lens na binibigay sa akin
