    What do you guys recommend? Owndays tong suot ko ngayon, which i broke earlier this week. In hindsight i should have bought metal instead of plastic -- it's just too brittle.

    Or should i stick with the traditional optical shops?

    Have owndays as my backup. Madalas ko din nagagamit kahit paano. It's good for me. I'm not exactly brand conscious with eyeglasses so even if the shop is unknown ok lang as long as I like the service and I'm comfortable with the resulting lenses. What I wouldn't do is go to Vision express. Pinasakit nila ulo ko. Long story. Anyway, ok din ang option sa quiapo as I've known a few who do go there for frames.

    past 2 specs ko are from owndays, haven't tried their contact lenses...

    ok naman... as long as nakakakita ako, brand is not important for me.

    1 reason why I chose owndays is meron sya kahit saan. madaling mag pa adjust if needed.

    Own Days is expensive! How much did you get yours?

    Kung gusto mo medyo fashionable, you can still stick with Owndays or Sunnies, but I'd stick with Sunnies. Own Days is too expensive, considering di naman ganun ka ganda material na gamit niya. Similar Snnies frames can be bought sa GH/QUiapo, pero tyagaan sa pag hahanap.

    Pero para mga tulad kong mataas astigmatism (300+ for both eyes), a pair of specs from Owndays will be worth 8k (thin, non-transitional, multicoated) while sa Sunnies, 5k (regular thick, multicoated, non-transitional).

    Since masyado pricey, what I do is I just buy the frame from Quiapo, GH, online or sa Sunnies/Own Days tapos have the lenses made sa Ideal vision.

    GH/online frames = 1,100
    Sunnies frame = 1,200
    Own Days frame = 1,500 - 3000
    Quiapo = 500 and up

    Ideal vision lenses = 1200 (multicoated, non-transitional, glass)
    The polycarbonate lenses will cost 7k. Pero im good with yung glass lenses.

    Ako naman sir sa Quiapo nagka bad experience. Two pair pinagawa ko, one metal, one plastic. Nung napilitan akong gumamit nung plastic na backup, isang buwan akong hilo. On closer inspection i found semi concentric lines on the lens, and bumiyak ung plastic on one corner. Since then di na ako nag Quiapo uli.

    Not brand conscious at all. Burara ako sa gamit so i need a tough frame.

    Only buy your frames sa Quiapo, pero have your lenses made sa reputable optical shops. Napag tanungan ko na ata lahat because twice a year ako magpalit ng lens, the cheapest for my grade is Ideal Vision. The others, more than double the price.

    How much yung progressive sa EO? Pricing na nakita ko sa Sarabia is nasa 11k pataas na.

    How's your Shamir lens? Had bad experience with them. First Shamir ko was Autograph II. Took about 5 days to make pero had to go back and refit and then go back and refit again then eventually replace then go back and refit. That was about almost 2 months total of going back and forth until it was all good. I've a feeling it was more of the optometrist's fault than the material but it still pissed me off. When I needed a new pair, I stayed away from it and the shop as well.

    I recently got Essilor lenses for 4.6k. It's not progressive but it has this "feature" where it somehow improves near vision. With my previous lenses I had to take of my glasses to see the letters on my keyboard or while texting. Ngayon, no need to remove my glasses anymore.
