What Are You Thinking About?

[MR_BIG18]

Mahal talaga ang eyeglasses if you go for Nike, Adidas, Oakley, etc frames. New Balance lang gamit ko around 2k lang sa Ideal Vision. Natyetyempuhan ko pang sale so around 1.5k. I heard shops in Quiapo and Carriedo sell frames and lenses cheaper - even photochromatic lenses. My wife and I will probably try there this year since she needs progressive lenses na. I probably need to shift to progressive soon - getting old.

my mother in law is dropping by for a visit, i just might purchase one in the states then pagawa nalang ako dito...saw some oakley rx for 100 dollars or less...

^ Yeah, madami sa Quiapo...forgot the name of the street. i've had mixed results though. i had two pairs made about 2-3 years ago - - naenganyo ako sa presyo -- yung isa pang backup.

My main pair was OK, pero yung backup pair ko, isang buwan kong sinuot, isang buwan ako nahihilo. i was forced to get a new pair when the plastic frame cracked at the corners of the rim. i didn't want to chance it so nagpagawa ako sa Vision Express at the mall.

Weird thing is, pareho lang yung grado nung tatlong pair, but i was never comfortable with the backup glasses. i'm guessing it's either nag warp yung frame, mali yung paglagay ng lens(hence the cracking), or something wrong with the lens itself.


i'm thinking about trying out the Flexon eyeframes i saw on Amazon para me backup uli ako.

That's why I change my glasses minimum 5 years. The lens are also expensive. It's a good thing my grade doesn't change naman 120 100

delikado pag nahilo. although uupo lang ako or hihiga nawawala naman. i told my doctor about it. he gave me a lower kind of drug for high blood and it results average of 130/90 which is still high. so I still take the stronger 1 which has an average of 100/70.

high blood pressure might pop my blood veins in my eyes again so I'm afraid of it. I opt to take the stonger one since the effect can be solved by sitting down.

okay please be careful. I get really concerned when I hear someone having low blood. How is your BP now? Normal na?

Ok na. My BP is "normal" when I drink coffee, during weekdays because of stress at work at puyat. Every thing that induces high BP cancels out my low BP, hahaha. sucks to be me.

have you tried progressive lens? I'm intrigued about it. Ang hirap kasi ng tanggal at balik ng eyeglasses. I need eye glasses while driving cause malabo ang far view ko. But I need to remove it when looking at the car console.

i uncovered an unopened pack of egg noodles that expired September last year. Didn't see any bukbok or other bugs inside, should be OK to cook/eat right?

is it polycarbonate? sa EO, a polycarbonate transition lens cost around 2k. I don't know how much progressive will add. Kung di ka pa Sure sa Oakley, tignan mo addidas sa EO, it's currently at 50% off kaya 5k na lang.

Haven't tried it yet. Reading/texting with my glasses on is still tolerable but it's more comfortable to just take it off. I'm still in the denial stage, haha.

Just reread your post. Mas mahirap pala yung case ng sa yo. Progressive ka na nga talaga dapat.

progressive lenses are very expensive.
the traditional bifocal lenses are much cheaper.

there are those who prefer progressives, and others who prefer traditional bifocals.
progressives also do not show the reading part of the lenses. "young look", some would call the lenses, because hindi nabibisto ang edad nila. (the need for reading glasses sets in at about age 40 or so.)
i had progressives once. i didn't like 'em. others swear by 'em.
kanya-kanyang choice lang.

they qouted me for 10k lens only, they asked my age, sabi pwede na pala daw...

that's about the ballpark price, po.
although, i fail to see why the age question.
ask them the price of regular bifocals. you might decide on the latter.
good luck.

My wife is in her late 30s but looks younger than she really is. She was asked the same thing when she asked about progressive lenses. I guess that's a common thing, inappropriate as it may seem. Even our ophthalmologist asked our age before telling us that we'll be needing "doble vista" glasses soon.
