    Progressisve lenses into wrapped sunglasses???

    Just wondering if there are any new technologies (edgers, surfacing...) that will increase the ability to put progressives into wrapped 8 base sunglasses in higher minuses (-3.00 to -5.00)???

    Contact a fellow Optiboarder=Awtech. His company, Ice-Tech, specializes in this type of eyewear. He has the equipment and knowledge to get the job done.


    Good luck.

    I second Fezz. ICE-TECH is really advancing wrapped tech. after many conversations with Allen I can tell you that they're doing some pretty impressive things and he's planning a whole lot more!

    PAL wrap

    Hello,

    You may also want to contact Shamir Insight, Inc. (888) 707-7760.

    They designed a wrap, polarized PAL, the name is the "Attitude".

    It is a very clever design...using mathematics and asphericity, they are able to offset spherical aberration/marginal astigmatism associated with high Base Curves, and introduce curvature design 'equal and opposite', if you will, which eliminates the optical errors in the peripheri.

    Very Cool.

    : )
