    Definity

    HappyLady,
    The Definity short in Trivex is phenomenal....I suggest the regulat Definity, especially since your height is 18mm.
    Good Luck
    James:cheers:

    Definity

    HappyLady,
    I would recommend using the Definity, regular, with Trivex.
    It is a phenomenal lens
    Best of Luck,
    James:cheers:

    Not an easy answer my friend, not an easy answer.

    It really depends on the model needed.

    Beer Goggles (FezzJohns, Inc.) come in many varieties. I will breeze over a few of our more popular models:

    Early Evening#123-
    Lenses made from the bottoms of Aecht Schlenferla Rauchbier bottles.

    Solid Evening#234-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale bottles.

    Nine O'Clock Specials-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Westmalle Triple bottles.

    The Ten Train to Nowheresville-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Troegs HopBack bottles.

    Eleven is Heaven-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Stones Arrogant B*st*rd Ale.

    Midnight and Feeling ALRIGHT#345-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Molson Ice bottles.

    It One...and its No Fun-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Budweiser bottles.

    Its Two...Too Bad For You #456-
    Lenses made from the bottom of Stroh's Lite cans, perforated to replicate the famous "PinHole" lenses used by fancy optical professionals everywhere. These last ditch beauties are held firmly against the flaying wearer by two stratigicly positioned FezzJohns, Inc. Super-Duper Double wide rubber traction bands.


    I have briefly outlined our more popular models. Feel free to PM Brother Johns for the complete listing!

    :D:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:;)

    I am sure there's a lot more out there but it will only confirm what you read at this site. The impact resistance studies have been posted on Optiboard if memory serves, and the results show it to be FAR more impact resistant than Poly. I stand by what I have written about this product, because unlike Harry the 2nd, I have not come across a situation where Tivex was not warranted. I am not saying there is no such situation, just that I haven't come across it yet. (Very small practice and only one glass blower who required a lens only available in glass.)

    Harry,

    Some really sharp dressing, ultra sophisticated, well educated, gullet ale splashing, un-humble, Optician wrote a piece about Trivex for Eye Care Professional Magazine a month or two back. I clipped it out and framed it!

    Great reading but the photo on the bottom, I have seen before......... Perhaps in the paper under the headline " Would you buy a used car from this man?"

    Stick out tongue

    In my opinion, although I wear both the Physio and the Definity short, I would try in the Physio. I like both lenses. I've not heard that the Physio is available in Trivex so you may have to give her poly. I also find the Trivex works very well with drill mounts. Less cracking. good luck. The Angel of Grace
