I know that both CR-39 and Glass are not recommended for Avantek.

Avantek is ONLY done in IQ technology Phoenix with SHV EX3. They are amazing! Try a SV pair for TV, you presbyopes!
Completely distortionless!

they just told me shamir is coming
looks like those tabs are just glued on, i like the idea, but i think ill wait a few years to see how they hold up before jumping on the band wagon.

If the tabs are glued on, I'm relieved. I was afraid the blank size would have to accomodate milling the tabs.
The mounting "tabs" are milled (MEI) directly out of the lens material...NOT glued.

from the faq page on their website...10. If a piece detaches, can I use super glue?- No. The Avantek Reversible Bonding Adhesive (RBA) has been specifically designed to create a persistent but reversible attachment for polycarbonate lenses and the Avantek frame system. Please return the glasses to Avantek for repair. Use of any glue will void the warranty.
AvantekTM frames solve those problems. The Avantek Mounting SystemTM usesa tabbing process that is combined with a reversible bonding system. The tabbing process eliminates the need forscrews, wires, or rims; since the tabs are actually part of the lens itself,the mounted frame has superior durability to drill-mounts. Furthermore, the no obstructions are present withinthe field of view since the frame mounts onto the sides of the lens, making aclean look and full visibility possible with no interference with cleaningcloths.
sorry Barry...its just glue.

not speaking for Barry, but he was referring to the tabs not being glued to the lens, the tabs are part of the lens, this tab is then glued to the frame.
I read the website and there are many typo's and items that are not clear. They talk of only using poly, but is promoted now using Phoenix? There is no way to email the company from the site. The site is also so small on parts that you cannot read it.
If we wait long enough, they will be part of the Empower collection!
They may be great, but the attention to detail is lacking in a big way!

maybe we can convince Barry to post an update in 6 months and then 1 year and let us know how they are holding up. I will say this though, im not a fan of anything i cant process in my lab, however i might have to give a pair a shot!
