    Labs still Heat Treating PGX...recommendations.

    Just got a job in from the lab I use for PGX (incidentally they are the only one of the 4 labs I use that still heat treats), and I would like to know if there are any labs out there that can process glass, still heat treat, and can safety bevel the lens properly. The job I have looks like they safety beveled it with a chainsaw.

    Blue Jumper Pech Optical. . .

    out in farm country does really nice glass work. 1-800-831-2352. Good people, knowledgable customer service staff and because they are in Souix City, IA they stock alot of glass.

    Good luck to you!

    Would it be bad for me to say that we do better than the two mentioned and that we support Optiboard? Corning approved processing laboratory.

    If you want a more local lab, I know McLeod Optical in Warwick RI, Northeast Lens Corp. in Newton, MA, and Perferx Optical in Pittsfield, MA, still offer this service.
