| 1464588 | 2019-10-16 23:08:00 | I have just had my cataracts done and need new glasses can't afford speck-savers after spending nearly 8k. So was thinking of using www.eyexpress.co.nz in Hamilton has any body used them recommend either way. I have recently used optically nz for a pair and they were OK. But I need a pair to include transition lens as well, hence my enquiry about eyexpress and the price is reasonable. |

| 1464589 | 2019-10-16 23:43:00 | Not that I know but I thought that when cataracts were done, you really did not need glasses after as the lens that is added to the eye should give you pretty good vision. Am I wrong? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1464590 | 2019-10-16 23:55:00 | Yes you still for reading and distance, although distance is a lot better when wearing the sunnies the eye hospital supplied as you need them, for the bright sunlight glad I didn't have it done in the summer. | micky (7329) | ||
| 1464591 | 2019-10-17 00:38:00 | Haven't used that service but it does look interesting. I get my prescription from spec savers but I order any other glasses after that from Zenni online www.zennioptical.com It's a slight gamble picking frames but I've bought 2 pairs from them now with no issues. I Like to have a pair of prescription polarised sunglasses for driving in the daylight which has led to me more than once driving somewhere and staying too late and finding it's getting dark and I haven't got my regular glasses... So first from Zenni I bought the cheapest single vision option for me at around $50 to leave in the car permanently. That was an experiment to see if Zenni was ok. Since then I have replaced my Sunglasses as well. For me at least they cost about half what spec savers do, but I have a fairly cheap prescription anyway just being a bit short sighted. |

| 1464592 | 2019-10-17 01:25:00 | Zennioptical.com Go online, choose frame etc, enter prescription, choose type of lens, away you go...about a week later they arrive. All sorts of glasses, all sorts of lenses. Far far cheaper than anything in NZ> |

But I need a pair to include transition lens as well, hence my enquiry about eyexpress and the price is reasonable. I had an implant in my right eye a few years ago. The left eye has a cataract, but up to now it hasn't been too bad. I use ordinary reading glasses from the Chemist. I can work on my computer with the right eye, and watch TV with the left one. I find that Polaroid sun glasses are good for driving in good light, and yellow driving glasses for poor light conditions. |

| 1464597 | 2019-10-19 02:51:00 | Multitasking is a myth, probably because some women work on more than one thing at once, but no human can do it, we all time slice. | piroska (17583) | ||
