    I'm not French, but Belgian. (France is about 120 Km away from here, what is that, 65-70 miles?)

    The correct way is to just get rid of the brackets.

    So it reads: -1.00 -2.00 x 160

    Not really, actually. The only thing is that, due to the fact that these lenses are attached to the iris, I need a little longer to adjust to light conditions (dark to lighter environment or...

    Never known so much pro-poly propaganda...
    Poly might be more impact-resistant then CR-39, but still, when you drop a pair of glasses with poly, the lenses will be more scratched then CR-39, which...

    Marvin,
    I live and work in Belgium, Europe, and OMD's (no such thing as an OD here) handle myopia very different here. Also their opinions tend to differ one from another quite frequently. Some of...

    No, I'm not a rep, I just work in an optical. Yes, we have Serengeti, but also Oakley and MJ. MJ will disappear since 90% of my clienst prefer Serengeti after they compare. Maybe their models are...

    Never worked with Bolle, so I can't tell.

    And yes, I'm sure of what I say. All of Serengeti's lenses are photochromic (Look in their catalogue) You can choose between polarized or not. They have...

    Sorry to tell you, but Serengeti did not in any way rip off Maui Jim since they exist much longer then them. The lenses of Serengeti are of higher quality then MJ's as well. For starters Serengeti...

    Most of my clients in this case wear their glasses until just before putting on the first lens.
    I also have one who uses make-up glasses (I don't find it very practical). (this is what I mean: 6641)

    I'm in a luxury position here. I work in a shop where we just "don't suggest" lenses without A/R. Even if people think it's to expensive and don't want it, we give a reduction, making the prices even...

    You could put him in Aspheric lenses. Make sure to put the OC of the lens 4 mm below the center of the pupil. If the double vision is due to the anisometropia (the difference in image size is too big...

    New frame is rimless ==> how polished are the sides of the lenses? Sometimes if the side of a lens is too highly polished, it gives reflections "into" the lens, coming from the sides. If so, you...

    You could try asking Zeiss if they can make you this in 1.90 Lantal (glass), will be extremely expensive and really easy to break :s
    or a lenticular in 1.70 plastic, also quite expensive.

    I'd go for the same, or if it needs to be plastic, you could try a 1.76 Bi-Aspheric lens in the smallest possible diameter. I've made one of those in a +9.00 and was about 3.50mm - 4.00mm thick in...

    Doesn't that mean somebody who uses only 1 eye? Vergence is much less of a problem then, since you can use an inset of zero in the lens. Also, Finefocus doesn't specify if there is an Rx for distance...
