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

Stick with Chinese-run places!

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

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.
