[mayana]

Depende yun sa type of lense. Glass or plastic. Multicoated/ultrathin. Transition or not. Im using a multicoated, ultrathin (scratchproof), plastic lense (400/450) nasa 2,300+the frame's price. Mas mura doon sa Paterno Street sa may Quiapo.

I'm using the following specs;

Frame - Oakley corkscrew 2.1 = 10k
Progressive Lens - Varilux ellipse = 10k
Transition - Essilor transitions - 3.7k (fast reacting when exposed
to sunlight or even cloudy it turns gray immediately)

Expensive but looks really cool :cool2: I don't need sunglasses anymore.
Hopefully hindi mag fade ung frame due to acidic perspirations.

Depende eh. I suggest you go to an opthalmologist/optical center. It would depend on the frame, kind of lens (plastic or glass), treatment i.e. progressive lens, UV coating, extra treatment if you're a heavy computer user, transition (yung nag ge-grey pag timaaan ng araw).

The pair I wear cost me P 13K 2-3 years ako. Progressive lens, UV coating, extra treatment (I'm a heavy computer user), transition plus the frame.

I'm using Essilor on Silhouette frame. Around 3-4K ang price.

I also have Essilor Transitions on my Oakley, around 6-7K price ng lens because medyo mataas ang grado ko (700) and may astigmatism din.

^ Boybit, mura ata nung silhouette niyo?

Mine costs 7K (naka sale pa yun) Silhouette Model 7378 with Polycarbonate, Multicoated, Hi- Index lenses (2,5K). Very light. Pang Office.

I have another pair which is a Rudy Project Tretoky (7K) with a tinted, polycarbonate, Multicoated, Hi - index lens (2K) - A tad heavier, but very cool. Pang weekend and Outdoors.

I did have transition lenses before, but since they tend to be more expensive and often comes in 'plastic' which are brittle (I experienced them getting broken...very dangerous) and more prone to scratches..kaya I don't buy them anymore.

ck, costs around 20 k. i avoid staring to much at the monitor kahit na my work requires it, ayokong lumabo ang paningin ko. anyway, do i need to get me a pair of glasses to protect my eyes from too much exposure to the monitor?

The price in my post was for the lenses. My silhouette frame also cost around 7K.

sorry if this has been discussed before... A friend told me to visit Quiapo for my next prescription glasses.

any specific shop you can recommend?

and does anyone know if they carry Transitions Drivewear? (or maybe an alternative)

[CarDaniel]

You don't need to go to Quiapo. Just go to the nearest market to your place and ask around for their prices and specs. But if you really want to try Quiapo, don't visit the big stores on the main streets. Look for those shops tucked away in the farthest corners to get the best prices.

[boybi]

Tried Quiapo, for branded lenses, similar prices lang with the malls. You just need to haggle with the mall shops.

Mas madami lang options for cheaper frames and lenses sa Quiapo. But if you're particular with brands of lenses and frames, then just go to your nearest optical shop.

If you mean photochromic lenses (the ones that turn dark with UV rays), these are typically around 2.5k at a mall optical shop but you would have to order ahead though.

Hidalgo has these in stock, so no waiting necessary. Not sure about the price, though, maybe about 500 pesos cheaper?

background.

been using Owndays for the longest time, ever since they opened a shop in Singapore.

around Dec 2024 - had issues with my Owndays frames and needed a replacement - also found out how annoying it is to ask Owndays Manila for help if something goes wrong with your glasses

Looking around Mall of Asia - Owndays didn't have any frame available to suit the shape of my face. So I went to Sunnies. Their doctor told me that my Owndays Spectacles has a very good (progressive) lens and that I will need to shell out around 20K as using a cheaper lens will be difficult for me.

Since I found 20K to be too much (I remember only paying around 10K for Owndays), I decided to walk around and found the perfect frame at Executive Optical. They have an "in-house" lens which is not only cheap, it also has a wider area for near vision.

1 month later, I find it weird that I have to wipe my EO Spectacles more than twice a day as it easily gets smudged even if I don't touch it. Compared to my experience with Owndays where my specs could last more than a week without wiping! I can even wipe with using my shirt! EO needs a microfiber cloth!

question:

since It's the first time I'm having this issue with smudge and dust on my spectables. Is this what the Sunnies' doctor was saying about "cheaper lenses?"

here's a photo of my new glasses. sa part na yan, almost twice a day may parang dumi na kailangan ko wipe palagi.

[dr. d]

the lens has nothing to do with smudging, po.
it's how close the frame keeps the lenses close to the kilays and skin, that manages to smudge and dirty up the lenses.

some frames keep the lenses closer to the skin than others.
as we each have different nose shapes and ear distances, we have to choose our frames carefully...

if we keep pushing our frames up our noses, i bet them lenses will need regular cleaning.

thanks... first time ko kasi naging issue ito (in all my glasses, sunglasses included). hassle for me since I need to carry a wiping cloth all the time.

siguro nga this new pair sits closer to my face.
