Though I’m not paid to write this post, but I’m truly passionate to promote the eyewear lens that I’ve been wearing since 9 years ago.

For the past 9 years till now, I’m using Essilor prescription lenses for my spectacles. Why am I so loyal to Essilor lenses, even though the price is slightly above average? Well, simply because of 2 words – superior quality.

Most of the people who are wearing spectacles, I’m sure the majority don’t even bother to find out what exactly the pair of lenses he/she is wearing.

“The shop told me this is multicoated, this is high-index.. that’s all lo..”

Yet the funny thing is, many people seem to be paying different prices for the same specifications – multicoated and high-index, ranging from RM60 to a few hundreds. Aren’t you interested to find out more about the eyewear lenses that directly affect your eyes??

Essilor Products that I’ve Tried

Essilor has many brands for various needs. For example:

• Airwear which provides light, thin and high impact-resistance lenses
• Transitions which provides photochromic lenses (clear indoors and at night but darken outdoors)
• Varilux which provides progressive lenses (I still don’t need it yet :p)
• Crizal, a type of coating innovated by Essilor, which provides no-glare, scratch-resistance and dirt-resistance properties. Crizal is generally available on Airwear, Transitions and Varilux lenses.

Personally, I have satisfying experiences with Airwear and Transitions lenses. As mentioned, these lenses are applied with Crizal coating too.

Essilor Airwear

When I was wearing Nike Flexon rimless prescription frame, I needed a pair of lenses which must be lightweight, thin and durable. Airwear meets all the requirements, and at the same time the polycarbonate material provides impressive impact-resistance properties.

I was given a piece of Essilor Airwear lens, and a piece of brand X polycarbonate lens, together with a hammer (yes, it was a real hammer). With just an easy smash, the brand X polycarbonate lens was broken. However, to my surprise, I couldn’t break the Airwear lens at all, yes, not at all. After a few smashes, there were scratches on the Airwear lens, but it didn’t break!

Because of the Crizal coating, Airwear lenses are very easy to clean too. Even with smudges, the smooth lens surface makes it extremely easy for cleaning. After years, the lens surface is still as smooth as it was. Continue reading ‘Choosing a Good Pair of Optical Eyewear Lenses’

Yesterday, there were road blocks at many places of our highways in Peninsula Malaysia, especially the southern and central regions. Ya, Malaysia is so efficient in the utilization of police forces, and you can see neatly queued vehicles (wow.. so courteous, drivers dare not simply abuse the emergency lane also) at the highway speed lane. Friends, it was Sunday, the day when many people were traveling back from home sweet home to Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya for work.

This morning, if you’re working in KL or PJ, and if were driving to work, then congratulation, you have contributed in boosting national economic growth by consuming more fuel. Congratulation again, you have helped to prove that our police forces are efficient in conducting road block!

Why all these masses? Simply because BN “thought” there will be a crowd of protestors heading to parliament today for no-confidence motion against PM

End up, who were creating problems in busy metropolitan city this morning? I’m sure a lot of drivers and motorists were swearing all the way in the traffic, especially those who were rushing for important appointment.

Dear BN government, could you please focus your attention in the hot-like-frying-pan issues resulted from fuel price hike aftermaths which are troubling the average Malaysians? Defend as you like, as if majority of Malaysians are enjoying sufficient spending power to comfortably greet and welcome the financial burdens introduced to us after the recent fuel price hike.
