    BiFocal-

    Stock Bifocals-fact or fiction?
    Heard some talk about an office using stock bifocals. Do they really exist? If so, anyone know where I can find 'em?

    Thank You

    Most lens distributors have them in plus sphere powers only.

    Power ranges and blank sizes vary. Poly + CR-39 only.

    try www.nassau247.com

    They won't work with any cylinder or astigmatism... that why they are as rare as stock finished polarized.

    LOL TKS ARE THE BEST ,for the labs to stock...no l or r

    does anyone know what happened to the hoya hi lux II stock prog?
    it was outstanding, flat and thin with a huge reading area(hoya labs dont even know what happened to them)
    ..was the best stock prog out there....
    and you could have sold it as a premium lens for a stock price, imo thats how good it was
