got option of multicoat ah?
hw much more will it cost?
brochure i read listed transition lenses as $260 with multicoat,
$230 without.(1.5 index)
if you're not too particular about which company your lenses
come from and just want transition. usually neighbourhood side sell
them from $180+/- (real transitions brand 1.5 index with multicoat)
there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in quality as
"transitions" will only deal with reputable lens companies.
some companies also have their own photochromatic lens products
like "seiko".RRP is around the same also(i forgot). never heard of
anyone getting those but i guess quality should be around
there.
price wise if you're looking for something that doesn't cost an
arm and a leg but works the same way you can just ask your optician
for a recommendation. like another member here mentioned there are
photochromatic lenses that work almost exactly the same,
multicoated and mid index but cost maybe around
$130+/-.
for the cheapest of the cheap, i've actually heard from a guy in
a optical shop telling me he heard rumors of
people selling real transitions lenses for only 60++ how true it is
i dunno but i think he mentioned either north or east side.
saw your thread on mustafa, if you're not in a
hurry to get your glasses you can consider trying mustafa. at least
3-4 indian guys i've met showed me branded frames(funny thing is
they all got pradas) they got from from mustafas and at
around half of what you see in shopping centers.
so if its branded stuff you want you can try that side.
if not, there's bugis, haven't seen the shop for myself but the
girl swears there is a shop there that sells plastic frames and the
one she got cost her only $9.90. quality wise looks very plasticky
but ok not the type thats going to break or anything.
but these 2 places you can get frames only, lenses have to get
elsewhere.
