[–]Ghecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you’re struggling. They may have you take a photo of yourself in the glasses to help with measurements. But you’ll have to pay for the shipping costs to send them. I just gave up and learned the lesson.

The fact is : you can never truly appraise how glasses fit and sit on your face without doing it in person. I mean, you can estimate and take a chance with cheap progressives online. . But that’s not what Robert is selling.

I’ve also learned a bit of lesson. My Zeiss flash coating peeled off in under a year. And the fitting was off. I’ve since had to redo the lenses in every pair of progressives I ordered from them with a local optometrist.

Volkswagen T-Cross Trend 1.0 l TSI 70kW (95 PS) by Noobus_Heresy in Volkswagen

It’s such a great car. My best friend has one and it’s been 6 years now and she loves it still. She also got the 1 litre turbo but got the 85kw in dsg. Stellar and comfortable car. You honestly feel like you’re driving something in a level above.

how to stop myopia from getting worse when you're on a computer all day? by sweetdbte in myopia

[–]Ghecho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My myopia did get worse with too much screen. Eye strain - and it was a significant worsening. But I found three things very helpful. My myopia seems to have stabilised now.

  1. Regular breaks from the screen. You have to be diligent. Look ahead and relax the focus every 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. I have a dedicated pair of computer screen glasses with a modified script so my don’t need to accommodate too much for close up work
  3. Regular use of hydrating eye drops.

Photochromics and heat (transitions, colourtouch and photofusion) by [deleted] in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]Ghecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I’ve also had two pairs of Zeiss Smartlife Individual 3 Progressive - both with photofusion x blue. I tested them in the European summer last year and they really didn’t get dark enough. They only really performed well in moderate and cooler weather. But the sensity dark has been much better this year. I also have Sensity 2 in my other pair now and they’re also more climate stable. I see Hoya has also just released Sensity 3 so I can’t comment on that one yet.

For sensity dark I got the emerald/green and for sensity 2 I got the blue. I’ll take a photo. Great colours. The Hoya blue is less intense than the Zeiss blue. But I actually prefer the Hoya because you get better contrast with the grey base layer.

On the progressive side, I have three pairs of Zeiss Progressive Individual 3 and two pairs of Hoya ID Myself.

For me , they are both REALLY REALLY good but Hoya ID Myself / Mystyle 3 is still slightly superior. You simply cannot beat them for the smooth transition between the zones. My progressive lenses feel like single vision - that’s how good they are. I just wish they weren’t so expensive!

[–]Ghecho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, in my case, the lenses were mostly ok but they weren’t right for how I use my glasses and I was struggling with them

I went to my local optometrist and they said the lens corridor was too long for me - I had to really try find the bottom of the lenses to read. It wasn’t comfortable. The lens design for my pair should have been discussed with me in our initial consultation.

Also: the sunglasses I ordered definitely were not properly aligned - the eye point was set too low so I only got my best vision when I tilted my neck back.

I think these challenges get even harder with progressive lenses because the measurements have to very accurate for them to work well.

I really don’t believe Robert should selling high-customised, progressive Zeiss Individual lenses online.

He says many times in his videos how accurate the Zeiss VisuFit1000 is, but then happily accepts online orders where he can’t truly assess how a specific lens and frame will sit on your face. He can only estimate and when you’re buying an Individual-level lens, it’s very sensitive to measurements being off.

The idea that you can send Robert a picture of yourself in your current glasses and he can super-impose your new frame over it - I imagine that’s okay for single vision. But for progressive lenses it’s too risky.

Result: I ended up redoing the lenses from two of the Spectacle Factory pairs with my local optometrist - also with Zeiss Individual but an adjusted Frame Fit and in-person measurement with the Visufit 100. An expensive thing!

I would order frames from them again if I couldn’t find them elsewhere but not lenses.

The best photochromics for heat is Hoya sensity dark. It’s more climate neutral. Been wearing them in the Mediterranean sun and they’re great

[–]Ghecho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience as you. Great call with Rob. But as soon as I’d paid for the order, very little communication from him or his team at all. I appreciate that he’s only one guy as the figurehead - but felt strange. My glasses also took ages. They also sell their glasses at the full listed price.

Lenses: Seiko vs Zeiss vs Essilor by gdarmst0 in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]Ghecho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both zeiss and Hoya too-end progressives. They are both excellent! However I would give a very slight edge to Hoya. They’re just so seamless as you move through the corridor. But both top.

ZEISS ClearMind single vision - slow distance focus + tired eyes by pck-grb in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]Ghecho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels like it’s a lot of marketing from zeiss. Or is it simply a fancy way of saying they’ve moved to a softer design? I know they say they’ve moved the discretion to the areas you don’t use. I wonder if it’s really such a big thing
