Cheapest place may not be the best I once went to a place cause it was cheap and it turns out the fuckers made my perscriptions wrong like almost 2x the amount I'm sappose to get

eyestar metrotown is home to my lens needs.

Just a heads up: anyone who goes to Lenscrafters is getting ripped off so hard.

Stick with Chinese-run places! :D

yeah dont ever go to lenscrafters, they are a total rip off

Wilsonia 01-06-2009 10:50 AM

It costs 310 at lenscrafters.
You could probably get it for 130 or so at many other optical place in metrotown

pawdregry4g 01-06-2009 09:21 PM

there was a place right beside an optometrist along broadway that made lenses for around 40$ it didn't come with any extra coatings though

hung_low 01-06-2009 10:38 PM

eyemate ftw granville and 70

jpoon 01-06-2009 11:00 PM

Smart Eyewear at Parker in Richmond. been going there since I was a kid.

Wilsonia 01-06-2009 11:03 PM

Remember to get Anti-Reflective coating.
Also, consider getting scotchguard protector (that's nikon ice or essilor's crizal alize)

it's around $30 more but it repels dust, dirt, water.. etc so you barely have to clean it.

If you wear glasses on a daily basis, I suggest getting better lenses rather than no-name stuff.

Try Nikon (here in NA they work together with Essilor AFAIK, so they are the same thing) Hoya, or Zeiss.

Once you have tried premium lens. All cheap lens are just crap that isn't even worth paying a cent for. Essilor can be purchased at Wal-Mart and many asian places can get you Nikon. Zeiss is THE shiet but very few places have it.
