Universal Optical (Century Square)

After my experience with She Lee Optics, I concluded that I am not suitable to use 'office wear' lenses until I met Stella of Universal Optical.

I explained to her my bad experience and she told me that there was no reason why it does not work for me especially my prescription was not very high. She assured me that it can be done. So I visited her shop at Tampines to have my eyesight tested again. Unlike other optical shops, their eye test was much faster and accurate with the help of better equipment.

When asked to choose a frame, I actually wanted to use my old frame just in case it failed again. After much convincing, I finally decided to select a new frame. When I left the shop, I do not have high expectation that it can be done and was also mentally prepared to face the same old problem as before.

After a week, I was told that my glasses was ready for collection. I went there without high hope and expected that it will be blur and giddy.

When I first tried the glasses, I was very careful not to see far as I know that it will defintely be not clear at all and that will put me off. So I started looking at the reading distance and slowly tried to look further. To my suprise, I was able to read at a normal reading distance and also at the surroundings comfortably.

I wondered whether there was any relation between the new HOYA lenses with the previous unknown brand. Anyway, I was happy that I am able to read documents and the computer screen without having to adjust my glasses now.

For those office workers who have to use reading glasses, it is time to try out this 'office wear' lenses.
