    First Franklin Bifocal

    So, after a couple of mock ups, where I learned how not to make a franklin bifocal. here's the final product.

    Rx:
    OD +0.25 -1.50 105 2BI
    OS Plano 2BI

    Add +2.50 4BI


    Patients reaction, "I'll be darned, they actually work."

    I have a feeling I'll be making more of these.

    Great job, K-dog! Those can be really tough, unless you have the right equipment.

    Of course you know we'll pick nits about that slightly crooked OS.:bbg:

    You mean sand paper, the handstone and a dremel are not the correct tools? Where we you when I started this little project?!

    Yeah, the OS is a bit off. Drew my line crooked. On it's not that noticable. If you look real close you can see that both are slightly crooked. The line runs up hill left to right. Next time I'm using a better line to set my marks.

    PS: the bottom is a PAL

    Then for good measure, put an Ultex in the bottom!
