    I was taught that Plano or 0.00 is an actual rx....when prescribed.

    But then I have known baby faced ophthalmologists who grew beards just so the patients would think they were old enough to be doctors.

    I grew a beard when I was a student to be taken more seriously (have had it ever since.) Many people want to change their looks for one reason or another. I have had people that want to look smarter, older, hide the rings around the eyes; all with plano lenses. A few people have gotten rounder frames to make them look kinder (dealing with the public everyday.) One kid wanted a nice designer frame, with plano AR to show his visiting parents how well he was doing.
