Question 1

How is The Eyes Inc different from other optical stores?

Accepted Answer

Unlike regular optical stores that just measure your old and new prescriptions, The Eyes Inc cross-references your old spectacle settings (including progressive design, prescription, lens curve, frame curve, pupillary distance, prism setting, and frame tilt) with your new prescription from our comprehensive eye tests. This ensures we recommend the most suitable frames for maximum comfort and minimal adaptation to your new spectacles.

Question 4

How much do progressive lenses cost in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Progressive lens prices in Singapore vary depending on the lens design, level of customization, coatings, and frame selection. We recommend based on visual task and prescription rather than brand alone.

Question 5

Which progressive lens brand is best?

Accepted Answer

The best progressive lenses are not determined by brand alone. They depend on how you use your eyes. Some designs are better for general wear, while others are more suitable for desktop work, laptop use, or intermediate indoor vision. Our role is to customize the lens design to your visual tasks and prescription, rather than recommending based only on brand or price.

Question 6

Can distortion be removed completely?

Accepted Answer

No progressive lens design removes distortion completely. The goal is to choose a design that best matches your prescription, visual demands, and daily activities so that vision feels clearer, more comfortable, and easier to adapt to.

Question 7

Are progressive lenses good for computer use?

Accepted Answer

They can be, but not every progressive lens design is ideal for long hours of computer work. For users who spend a lot of time on desktop or laptop tasks, office or customized indoor progressive designs may provide a more comfortable intermediate viewing area.

Question 8

What if I cannot adapt to my current progressive lenses?

Accepted Answer

If you cannot adapt comfortably to your current progressive lenses, it may be due to the design, fitting, prescription, or how the lenses match your daily visual tasks. A proper assessment can help determine what is causing the discomfort and whether a different progressive lens design may be more suitable.
