I have nothing more to say about Transitions, and I will leave you alone as you request.
Bye!

Ha! You think I'm an optician. I'm not. I'm just a customer - a person buying glasses. I am loudly giving my opinion on this issue because I think it's an opinion that is widely felt by customers...
I don't need any hearsay information about Transitions. I have firsthand information - I tried them.
The first post in this thread was from someone asking how people liked Transitions. I...
Do you work for Transitions?
As a separate question, I'm curious about this, too. UV protection is not about vision comfort so much as protecting the eyes from a harmful part of the light spectrum. I hadn't heard that polarized...
I agree - they are useless as sunglasses.
So what good are they??????????????????? I see no purpose to them at all.
Perhaps, but it's not relevant in this circumstance. I have some glasses that are not polarized, and I don't know if they have UV coating. I'd like them to for protection of my eyes. I don't know how...
I'm very glad that wasn't the policy in the optical shop I went to. They were very gracious and nice about exchanging them. And in exchange for that courtesy, I will patronize them again and again,...
Is there a way to tell if a pair of sunglasses has a UV coating on it?
I hated the Transitions lenses. They never got completely clear so I always looked tired, and they never got dark enough. They hardly get dark at all in warm weather, which makes them particularly...
I got the new left contact lens in the mail just now. I'm typing this message with no reading glasses on. I can see the computer, and so far I don't think I'm getting a headache.
The contact lens...
Thanks very much for the explanation, Ory. That's just what I was wondering about.
I'd like to understand why the two eyes have different ranges meant to combine for full range, instead of putting the full range in both eyes equally (as Chip said could be done). There must be a...
Perhaps this is why the contact lens specialist I went to is using the approach of relying on one eye more for far vision and the other more for near vision. My distance vision is perfectly corrected...
Nobody "lied" to me. Geesh. As I said, I was making a guess that this is why she approached it this way.
If this isn't the reason, then what is? Why do it this way when it could be done all the...
My lenses are multifocal, but at the same time the left lens is more for near vision and the right lens more for distance. They seem to be a combination of what you're talking about. Both lenses are...
Chip,
How are contact lenses made? My impression as a customer is that they are just ordered from a lab, but you said you made them. What does the contact lens specialist do besides stay on top...
Years ago, my father had what he called "bifocal contacts" - not sure if they were multifocal (or even bifocal), and he's been dead for 10 years so I can't ask. As I recall, he had one contact for...
They are Bausch & Lomb PureVision Multifocal lenses. They are made of the same material (silicone, I think) as my previous lenses (CIBA Vision Focus Night & Day). These are good for me because my...
I was just fitted for progressive contact lenses, and I'm thrilled with them. The progressive eye glasses are okay, but the progressive contacts are like magic! The quality of vision is like it was...
The sunglasses will be made from CR38 plastic. My optician said that she's had problems with polarized lenses becoming delaminated on higher index plastic, and thought this might especially be a...
"Hydrophobic"? As far as I know, hydrophobia means "fear of water". I'm not sure what you're saying here.
1. They're sunglasses.
2. I don't have them yet.
I usually ask for this, but I don't know if it will have it. I have to call tomorrow. I'm not clear enough on what I ordered!
So my optician was right? Polarized lenses aren't available for high index plastic?
I forgot to ask the material being used for the bifocal sunglasses. I hope I'm not unpleasantly surprised....
