photochromic in blue or purple

[sokarst]

Does anyone know if there is still a company left that makes photochromic lenses which are not gray or brown?
The only company I know of was in Italy and went our of business.....
I promised my customer (why, oh why am I always doing that?) to find him a pair in blue or purple.
Thanks for your help guys!

You may still be able to get them from China, several companies there are or were making them. Opticast had monomer available for their systems in both blue and purple and others.

Would have expected a question like this from someone in San Francisco or LA. Thought Floridians had thier stuff together better.

oh wait.... what was it again somebody wrote in the forum..... oh yeah now I remember:

No matter how long we have been in this business, no matter how much we studied, no matter how much we learned. You can still fill volumes with what we don't know.

Thanks for mentioning Opticast

The only company that comes to mind is Marinelli, distributed in the US by Marma Vision. www.marmausa.com is the website, I think. Luzerne was carrying them, but had some quality issues that were not acceptable.

@ Judy: thanks, that's the company I mentioned. They had the problems and now You can't get a hold of them anymore. I tried it in the US, London, Germany and Italy....

It was a shame really. The sample lenses were really cool!

I think optisource had them!

Wish Transitions had not discontinued the Splitz lenses.

Transitions is doing a golf lens with Nike that is purple in color. Perfect Optics in california does the nike lenses you may check into that.

As transitions do not go dark enough in purple for the golf course in the heat on top of it, you can buy a dyes doing the same in a dark color just about from any dye supplier.
