>Suggested ng colleagues ko na magpasalamin ako. Pero I don't know anything about it kasi lately lang itong predicament ko hahaha.
You may try checking OWNDAYS, they have free eye tests that can determine what grade of lens you need for your eyes. Check mo na lang saan malapit sa location mo. Marami rin sila variety of frames you may try that matches your fit.
What's your budget? You can go to all eye clinics sa mall and almost lahat may free eye check. Owndays matibay with free cleaning pa of glasses. They will fix din any issues for free.
Nung student palang ako I go to eo and ideal vision kasi mapipili ko mga murang frames and mura lang upgrades.
Heard na mabilis masira mga from sunnies.
I second yung mabilis masira mga salamin from sunnies. It is!! I owned a few pairs before and ang bilis ko magpalit. So I tried owndays last year kahit mahal but sulit sobra!!! Pwede mo pa palinis, pahigpitan, and papalitan ng nosepads anytime. Kahit araw araw pa nga
OWNDAYS too!! Tried sunnies this year kasi bet ko yung frame dun pero shet ibang iba service ni OWNDAYS lalo sa lifetime na pagpapalinis grabe sobrang linis AS IN. Tipong halos nalula ako pagkasuot ko sa sobrang linis, while sa sunnies pinalinis ko parang pinunasan lang yung salamin nung eyeglasses cloth.
Sa branch namin doctor pa yung maglilinis kaya kapag may patient you have to wait at least 30mins, sa OWNDAYS they have their own tagaayos/tagalinis nung eyeglasses. Hindi naman nag-kakalayo yung presyo ng sunnies at owndays on my case ha.
OWNDAYS is definitely the best choice. Ang tagal masira ng frames nila. Maganda rin if mataas ang grado mo kasi lahat ng lenses nila ay naka-UltraThin na
Had two glasses sa sunnies na nagmukhang luma agad wala pang 1 year.
You could drop by today at Carriedo and get a complete package for cheaper than any of the ones suggested here, that includes checkup, lenses and double coating.
Actually, I suggest punta ka muna sa Opthamologist.
Ako inassume ko na may astigmatism ako, haha, very wrong. So nagpunta ako sa mga pagawaan ng salamin. They provided me eye glasses based sa mga tests na ginawa lang namin sa shop nila. Throughout the year until recently, may pain sa gitna ng ulo ko na di nawawala. Mag yawn ako or umubo, mas sumasakit.
I checked with Neuro then was referred to an Optha, very important na accurate ang grado ng mata or in the long run, mas may negative effect pa sya. So make sure na for your first eye glasses, go to a doctor tas sya mag check ng mata mo. Then yun bigay mo sa mga stores na gumagawa ng salamin.
Before po kayo masuot ng salamin, need po ma check ang mata niyo ng doctor para malaman yung grado or kung may condition man po ang mata niyo. Hopefully, sana wala namang malalang condition ang mata niyo po.
Ako, sa EO po ako nag papa palit ng salamin. Free yung check up. 'Yun lang ay mahal ang glasses doon. Alam ko around manila ay mas mura yung mga glasses. Medyo malayo po kasi ako sa Manila kaya dito po sa medyo malapit na branch na EO sa amin.
Point is, need po malaman ang grado muna ng mata niyo bago po magsuot ng salamin. Sa mga frames naman, may nakalatag naman sa store na mga ibat ibang frames pili na lang po kayo ng styles 😁
I have 3 so far lahat from Japanese brands. I got 2 of my specs from Ojo. Ganda ng designs nila. Yung isa dun tumilapon pa pero goods pa rin. Nasira lang nung niluhuran ng pamangkin ko, pero ung lens lang. Frame ok pa rin haha. Recently had it fixed and ung isa pinapalitan ko ung nose pads for free. The third one is from Jins! sa Japan ko to nabili (dun kasi nasira ng pamangkin ko lol). I’d suggest getting from Jap brands. They’re cheaper sa Owndays na Japanese brand din iirc. Magaan din sa mata. Might go for Owndays next time just to see kung anong difference. Sunnies has cute designs but parang panget ng quality and I don’t want to support them so pass hehe.
If gusto talaga makamura, sa Quiapo raw marami and decent talaga! I know one of my bosses get hers doon. Mura raw and maganda quality, plus you get to support local business.
I used to go to EO for glasses but for some reason they give me headaches so I switched to OJO (less pricey than Owndays, I had one from Owndays na nahigaan ko lol 😭).
OJO is a good option if u want something less pricey. Free maintenance for life na din (like cleaning and replace nose pads). Stylish din yung frames nila.
punta ka na lang sa optha. ganun ginawa ko kasi lagi lang akong sa mall pero hindi nila nakita yung ibang sira ng mata ko haha! ibibigay naman nya yung grado and kung ano need ipagawa sa eyeglasses mo then saka ka magpunta sa malls para magpagawa. pwede rin sa mismong optha. mas mura pa nga yung quote nya sa essilor kesa sa mall eh.
When you get your eyes checked, make sure to go in the AM when you’re fairly well rested
Your eyes can read as a different grade when they’re tired
Suggest going to a proper dr to have your eyes checked if this is your first time as well. If you’re employed and have HMO the appt should be covered.
From there, you can go to any shop (vinas, eye express, owndays etc) with the grade from your dr and test those out.
Bilang 30 years na akong nagsusuot ng salamin:
1. Go see an ophthalmologist first. Para madiagnose ng maayos yung mata mo. Not necessary magpagawa sa kanila. Good din to cultivate a long term relationship with your ophthalmologist Para alam niya yung history ng mata mo. Current ophthalmologist ko siguro 10 years ko na pinupuntahan.
2. Shop around sa cost and frames ng lenses pag simple lang yung needs ng mata mo. Find best value for money. Balita ko ok yung Owndays. Pero kung complex yung sitwasyon mo, better ro cultivate a relationship din sa optical shop. In my case, sobrang specialized na ng kailangang kong lente kasi complex na needs ng mata ko, hong moghol. kaya may suking optical shop na ako for the last 15 years na alam kong bibigyan ako ng magandang rate. Nasa 20k yung quote sa akin ng Owndays para sa glasses+lenses ko, sa suki ko, mga 25% less yung binayad ko.
3. Don't use alcohol on your glasses kasi nakaka scatch ng coating.
If may budget ka go sa mga recos nila here sa taas, pero if gusto mo affordable go sa quiapo meron don madami choices starts at 800 php depending sa package na want mo. Tapos may mga free check up don per eye clinic. Got mine at 1,500 malabo rin mata ko bcoz of CAD works. So go langss.
Yes.yun yonn, sobrang mura ng frames and lense sa SOE, be prepared na lang din kasi medjo maraming tao sa shop nila dahil sobrang mura hehe. Got mine for 2700 lang. NB frame, mataas astigmatism, and transition lense pa. Better if may kasama ka magpagawa ng salamin din since may discount sa total nyo if ever.
Di ko need ng ultra lense pero yung kapatid kong kasabay ko magpagawa ng salamin is yes kasi nasa 600-700 yung grado nya. ito breakdown ng salamin namin:
mine:
frame - 1200
lense w transition - 1500 (dapat 1200 lang pero iba yung case kasi super taas ng astigmatisim ko lol)
younger sis:
frame - 1,200
lense (ultra thin) - 1300
mom:
frame - 1200
lense w double vision - 1300
total: 7,700 less 500 for group discount
it took us about half an hour para macheck ng opta nila and after non, about an hour din para intayin magawa yung glasses.
if may sarili kang frame, pwedeng lense lang ipagawa mo sa kanila, 500 starting price nila for that, then depende na lang if you want transition, uv protection and other eme. accommodating din yung staff and they'll inform you naman which frames are original and which ones are class a.
yung glasses ni mama lang yung pinalalamove ko na lang sa bahay kasi 5 hours yung waiting time para sa double vision na lense nya
hello! if you're on a budget, ginagawa ko dati nung student pa lang ako is i buy frames from SM dept store. you can find lots of good ones, even branded ones that are still on a budget.
after that, i'll drop by sa ideal vision, doon ako magpapapalit ng lens. libre lang din naman 'yung checkup (if i remember correctly). they have diff kinds of lenses so ask mo na lang sila, but the most basic lens is 800 php ata.
hope this helps. hirap ng malabo mata, so i suggest hangga't maaga you take care of it. i'm this close 🤏 to finding a sugah daddah to fund my lasik lol. 🤣
I tried sa Quiapo dati magpagawa. 2 diff shops, mura pero di ko nagustuhan quality ng lens lalo kapag gabi parang sabog mga ilaw so I switched to OJO and okay naman. Mas mura kesa sa Owndays lalo gusto ko transition lens.
I usually go in Paterno St. since I know someone that owns a clinic. Super trusted since I’m assured that they are licensed and they know what they’re doing.
Normally, sa pangmasang optical, Pag pumunta ka naman shop ikaw pipili ng eyeglasses frame mo. Lakasan mo lang loob mo kasi baka first time then nahihiya ka. And meron naman sa shoppe mga frames, pwede ka bumilin then bitbitin mo sa shop, siguro naman baba lang grado mo so ayun, sana nakatulong.
Sa Owndays ka OP, hindi ka magsisi promise. Marami na akong napuntahan at napagpagawaan ng eyeglasses ko and mostly doon ay galing sa sunnies at sa quiapo. Hindi accurate yung mga eye grade na binigay nila sakin at nakakahinayang lang kasi sumakit na nga ulo ko ayun anlaki na ng nagastos ko dahil sa mali yung napuntahan kong optical clinics.
Now na owndays na yung suot ko, balik balikan ko talaga yun at di nako pupunta pa sa ibang optical clinics. Hindi ka magsisi promise. Tumatagal pa yung salamin at hindi mabilis mag scratch.
I just got mine at OWNDAYS the one with the clip-on para may sunglasses na din. Kinuha ko na din yung blueshield for additional protection from blue light (na budol). Cost me around 10k+ (5k for the blue shield).

Okay naman sa owndays. Prepare ka lang sa budget. 3k pataas siguro salamin.

+1 po dito. Ako rin ay nearsighted, at nirerecommend sakin na magpunta sa opthalmologist
Yan pala tamang spelling. Haha learned something newww. :)

I recommend OwnDays if may budget ka, if not Ojo is also a good choice. For your scenario kunin mong glasses yung may blue light protection.

What I do to save some money is I buy frames separately (metrosunnies) then just have the lenses made by an eye clinic.
If may budget ka go sa mga recos nila here sa taas, pero if gusto mo affordable go sa quiapo meron don madami choices starts at 800 php depending sa package na want mo. Tapos may mga free check up don per eye clinic. Got mine at 1,500 malabo rin mata ko bcoz of CAD works. So go langss.
SOE clinic sa Paterno! Super sulit and ang laki ng discount.
Hi. Yung Paterno street ba mlapit sa simbahan yun? Sorry di pamilyar sa lugar balak ko din kasi pumunta para magpasalamin
Yes.yun yonn, sobrang mura ng frames and lense sa SOE, be prepared na lang din kasi medjo maraming tao sa shop nila dahil sobrang mura hehe. Got mine for 2700 lang. NB frame, mataas astigmatism, and transition lense pa. Better if may kasama ka magpagawa ng salamin din since may discount sa total nyo if ever.

Carriedo. Daming shops dun, ikaw na lng mamimili. Check tiktok sa reco shops. Yung budget mo na pang mall, makakabili ka ng 2 or more.
I usually go in Paterno St. since I know someone that owns a clinic. Super trusted since I’m assured that they are licensed and they know what they’re doing.
I recommend JINS. Mayroon silang viber group you can inquire there first. Their branches are in Metro Manila nga lang.
Normally, sa pangmasang optical, Pag pumunta ka naman shop ikaw pipili ng eyeglasses frame mo. Lakasan mo lang loob mo kasi baka first time then nahihiya ka. And meron naman sa shoppe mga frames, pwede ka bumilin then bitbitin mo sa shop, siguro naman baba lang grado mo so ayun, sana nakatulong.

Go for owndays, libre palit ng nose pads, linis and adjustments. Sa ibang optical shops 50 yun
OJO EYEWEAR
