What have been your experiences with short corridor progressives (14mm) in patients who need little distance correction, but mostly need reading correction (for example +2.75 total correction for...
The reason I am asking on this board is because this seems to be a group of opticians who "know their stuff." Who seem to care enough about learning new things that you all ask each other questions....
I believe I've seen people on this board mention task glasses (computer and reading) that are 2-range progressives. They don't have the distance part.
I have Varilux panemic progressives (see my...
hotsauce,
my prescription is
distant: right +1.00 +0.25 15 (axis)
left +0.75 +0.25 165
reading +1.75 for both eyes
I found one thread on the board where people were...
I have been wearing the drugstore reading glasses for many years. Never appreciated them until now!!
Yes, the optician said that I have very little astigmatism correction and that the 1.75's for...
LC got the re-made Panamics in today, so I went down and got them. I hate to report, but they are no better for reading than the first ones. I still have only a very narrow reading area. I got out a...
Chip,
I looked around this board and at the link you provided.
Do these pc peekers go on bifocals that are for distance and reading (where you have no intermediate range)? And the pc peekers...
Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I got a pair of progressives which weren't right and they are remaking. But I got a taste of progressives and seeing the computer and trying to read was very...
If you get task specific glasses for just mid-range vision (computer) and reading, would that be a lined bifocal? If so, would you get regular size glasses and just the bottom part would be for...
Steve,
Yes, I think I had figured out the same company made them. I figured maybe Ovation was the "bargain Lens" of the Essilor family. But it sounds like many people love them.
Is there a...
Steve,
Thanks for the reply. No, I didn't buy glasses there. I have a friend who did, and he loves his. His wife didn't buy there because she didn't like the choice of frames. She bought at...
I am trying to find the link for "Outlook lenses are they any good?" that you mentioned.
I clicked on "search" and typed that in and can't find it. I would LOVE to read that thread and see the...
markssunwear, That is interesting. But I'm not sure how to interpret the information. Yes, it looks like they are making bundles of money. Is that bad? Are you saying that they do so much business...
There is an optician next to my eye doctor. I think he rents space from the eye doctor. When I was waiting for my husband to get his eye exam, I wandered into the optician's room. I told him that...
Thank you. I very much appreciate the information.
I called the local Costco and she said it takes about a week and a half for glasses. Someone on this board mentioned he waited 3 weeks. If you...
After reading some posts on this board about Costco, I called a local Costco optical department today and asked their policy on returns. She was kind of vague and said they try very hard not to...
I don't know much about glasses; I just came to this board to ask questions about my own progressive lenses.
But I read your post. If you can buy glasses for $12, they have got to be a very...
Boy, I just called LC to ask about some of the information I've gathered here. Like about the Varilux Panemic vs Comfort. The woman on the phone knew nothing about the differences. She said they...
I appreciate all this information. I wish LC had explained all this. We told them we'd heard Varilux were a bit better than the "store" lenses because you got better peripheral vision. They didn't...
Happylady,
You said, "I know Lenscrafters have some good opticians, some of them post here. Maybe you didn't get one, though."
I went to an eye doctor and got a prescription and took it to...
I posted on this forum last night, and I guess the post was too long for most readers to wade through. So I'll ask a short question:
In progressive lenses (Varilux Panemic), in the reading area,...
Yes, that is what they are. I paid $100 extra because they have to send away for them.
I've read some other messages on these boards by opticians. Talking about adjusting the glasses to your...
I am 52, first time wearing "real" glasses. I've been wearing drugstore reading glasses for years.
My distance vision has become slightly blurry, so I finally bit the bullet and got real...
