    Stock Lens Availability

    I am looking for someone to give me some insight as to where I might be able to find a comprehensive list of stock lens manufacturers and the ranges of lens powers they make. I tried going to frames data to get a copy of their lens guide but getting one copy is like pulling teeth.

    Its not quite that simple as we are a rather large organization and in effect we are the lab.

    Call around to lens manufacturers. Vision Ease, Pentax, HOYA, Essilor, etc...

    I don't know of any comprehensive list across vendors, materials, and styles.

    Now, if you get all the information and publish it online, we will know exactly where to go from now on.

    Manufacturers will usually give you their stock list, most also have them on thier web site.
