how about specialized tints for hunting?
I had a patient ask me the other day for sunglasses that will help him see thru the water better when he fishes, and helps him see better when he hunts. He has a pair of grey polarized raybans already.
Not being much of an optical expert like you all, I told him he has the best lens for hunting and fishing already. However, I told him I'll do alittle more research to see if there is anything better.
Would you recommend anything else?
New technology...................

The patented Micro Tints are continously updated year 2000 dye technology compared to the standard lens dyes which were developed in the 1970s.
They last longer, apply up to 100 times faster without emitting toxic fumes and bad smells. (60 seconds for CR39 + 4 minutes on Poly for dark shades)
You dont need a $700.00 tint tank.........your only investment in equipment is a modern household microwave oven. Check out at: http://optochemicals.com

Rep is right..............there is no need anymore, you just heat up the dye or dyes wanted and a pair of lenses is tinted in 60 seconds.
Polarized lenses are good and useful, but not affordable for every pocket, specially in a degrading economy where the optician or optometrist is and will be loosing customers and get a reputation for being high priced, when pushing only the expensive items.

Micro Gradient..........................

Yes Sir, you do make an incorrect statement...........
As the MicroTint Systems is so extremely fast you could never dip up and down so fast............so you tint the whole lens.
Then you do a negative gradient..................by dipping the lens in neutralizer and taking the color off instead of putting it on and all of it is still a lot faster than the conventional way.
Used Stroker..................

DragonLensman, For the Micro Tint System we have come up with a new type remover, which is fully water and surfactant based.
There are no solvents involved at all.
This product takes off dye from tinted lenses at a much faster rate is a much thinner solution and more powerful to dissolve pigments and will not result in a sawtooth.
effect It can be used on ALL lens materials without damaging any of them.
This tint remover can also be used for any dye-pigment removal of the conventional tinting systems.
In reference to your trials with Diamond Slick Coat from car to edger, I am anxious to hear some more on you test results.
There are so many products out on the market that can be used for many more uses than the ones they were designed for. Like lens hard coats had been used in other fields way long before they landed on lens surfaces.
I have a product that we made to refreshen optical surfaces that had grey areas and minor scratches. You put it on a lens (takes 2 minutes) the lens will look like new, the scratches are still there, nothing removes scratches. but there not visible anymore.
The same product applied on the fiber glass surface on my boat, prevented a spider from being able to climb up the 45 degree slope, it became that slippery.
