    To Harry

    It also might be a good idea to learn how to spell the word professional, as well.

    This is merely a kind word of advice. People can be turned off by this. If I see someone who is obviously...

    Yikes, I made that in the early '80s as an LVN. No way, now HOW would I be able to live on that now in the area where I am. Median cost of homes is in the $700,000s. So, it doesn't look like for all...

    I wasn't asking you to diagnose anything, Cindy. I was merely curious about the B measurement of a frame in relation to being fitted with an Ellipse short corrider lens. I fully intend to have my...

    And, I intend to have the optician do all the necessary measurements tomorrow. As he told me over the phone when I called to ask about this particular frame, "What I need is your face". :) And,...

    Bobie,

    I see where you said the frame height can be 22mm with an Ellipse. I just read here where one person wouldn't go below 26mm. So, which is it? :confused: I'm looking at a frame that is...

    Hi Cindy,

    Can you tell me what the B measurement size is on the frame that you have your Ellipse in? I'm looking at a nice frame with a 25 measurement.

    Thank you! I'm happy that the Ellipse...

    Thank you for your response, Tneyedoc. Darn. I was able to locate another frame from the same line I liked even more. It measures 25 mm. That's only 1 mm less than what you recommend for a minimum....
  11. Does the B measurement need to be at least 25 for Ellipse to work?

    I finally found a frame I liked and wouldn't you know that the B measurement is only 24.4. That's on a 48-17-135 frame that fits my face well. I love these frames! Well-constructed, too. I tried the...

    Compare Varilux Ellipse to Hoya CD

    I would like to know this, too. I was all set to get Varilux Ellipse since I've worn Varilux for the past 10 years. Today, however, a local optician told me he swears by Hoya CD. He really likes the...

    I've heard mixed reviews about those, Chip. Also, I'm beginning to wonder if my eyes are just too dry now to wear HGP contacts. I've never worn soft lenses except for once. An optometrist who was...

    Jim,

    Interesting. I happen to have an Add of +2.50, but I also am ready to have narrower frames now. I have worn a Comfort lense with a 19 seg. height in a larger frame for the past 7 years and...

    Good point, Lady Nicole. I know that ShyIris was feeling that way about the optical professionals she has seen in person, hence the need to come here with questions.
