    Progressives.

    Our office has been becoming increasingly more self-sufficient. As we do this we are increasing our variety, and quality, of some stock lenses. We have some basic/medium grade progressives, but we are looking to add some more premium type progressives that we can create in-house. What are some of your favorites? I know it is a fairly broad question, but lets base this question in terms of progressive quality, patient satisfaction, cost, and customer service?

    Images primarily, but we do not surface poly. That causes a problem with shorts as younger does not have a short prg that is not poly.

    I would suggest Naturals, Small Fit and Acolade to add to your meny (if you are not anti anti Essilor).
    Also generic FF might cost you almost as much as blanks! :) And you can get it in All the materials!

    I'm sorry to ask, maybe it is clear to all that speak Enlgish as their native language but unfortunately i don't...
    Are you talking about stocking up on progressive lenses? What stock would you choose then? Would you stock up on all different axis positions etc?
    Or are you talking about stocking up on semi-finished lenses and then finishing them yourself? If so, what kind of device do you have for this and why would you choose to do that? When i order progressives in FF design of a very nice quality i only pay around €15,00 per lens. Keeping stock seems like kind of a hassle for so little savings. Or are the prices for progressives much higher in USA?
