Chitchat Do you wear progressive lens?

[sbfuncle]

You hear first hand from me.
Optician will not tell you this becos they want to make money.

Do away with all those expensive and much touted branded progressive lens.

Key factor that will make your vision clear and non distorted for progressive lens is not the type of lens you use .
Lens price can have a huge difference in price from less than a hundred per lens to thousands per lens.

It is the frame that you choose that makes the whole wide world difference.

The cheapest pair of progressive specs I have made cost less than $300 including the frame and the lens. And it is the most comfortable pair I have compared to other specs that cost me $900.

Do not choose a rectangle shape frame or those funky Korean big eyed frame, it will distort your image no matter how expensive the lens is compared to a cheapest lens in the market with the right frame.

Choose either a round or a square frame.
The idea is always try to minimise the left and right angle with sufficient space for reading for it's height.

There is no point to have extra spaces out of your left and right. Leemember your eyes cannot pop out to the left and right for viewing.

Look no further for this kind of frame.

Trust me and thank me later.

 

[sbfuncle]

Nope not this

 

[sbfuncle]

Not this

 

[sbfuncle]

Yes this

 

[sbfuncle]

Not this

 

[sbfuncle]

Yes this almost there

 

[sbfuncle]

By far the best choice.
Just enough space for human eyes.

 

[sbfuncle]

There is a reason why the last emperor wore this frame.
It is supposed to be like this.
Becos of fashion, the optic world started to deviate until lens manufacturer tried to con your money.

Conclusion.

There are a lot of theories and science behind lens manufacturings.
All of which are just to compensate for the size of the lens.
When everyone uses a small frame with small lens, all the theories are no longer applicable.

Thanks for your input. You are correct about the shape of the lens and distortion. I try to avoid round glasses because they look too geeky. I prefer square shaped frames.

lens tech is so advanced these days that all you need is about 1.69 inches of height on the lens to incorporate progressive lens on the frame. doesn’t have to be round. can be rectangular or oval frames. 69% far sighted on top, 31% near sighted below. no abrupt transition or lines. $699 without insurance. $169 copay with insurance. more sexpensive is the atas frame from versace or chanel or cartier (albeit from same supplier and manufacturer).

The problem with rectangular frame is that the width is wider than the height.
My experience with wider width is = sextra giddiness
I recommend round as it will minimise it.

In sg I never heard of insurance covering spectacles.
Certain company give their staff yearly reimbursement.

My point is that if you are already comfortable with your rectangle frame with the progressions, making a round one will further improve your viewing experience.

However you are right that not every face is suitable for round.
I look like john lone hence im all in.

 

[sbfuncle]

I have spent somewhere $5k over the years in search of something that I doesn't feel giddy when wearing, and exhausted with all kinds of frames and expensive lenses until the day I found the best deal of $300 for a small round frame and I never look back.
It is almost = experience of wearing a single vision lens.

After I found this secret by myself accidentally , I then asked my regular optician, why this one I feel so shiok compared to all others, she then told me, becos round frame you don't get the fish tank view from the side.
I leeplied KNN why didn't you tell me for so many years and she just zipped.
For years she just told me you need to get used to it and the problem is I will never get used to it due to the wrong frame chosen.
