    Does anybody know what this is?

    I found this buried deep in a drawer in my lab. I've spoken to a few experienced optical people and they have no idea. I've even asked my dad (no optical experience but an accomplished mechanic, just...

    Not this store baby!

    Luckily for me, ECCA is way to cheap to have high end frames in stock. At least at my store. We have a suns display case where we keep various more expensive high-demand frames, but the key was lost...

    EV decentration

    It's not really any different from regular single vision material. The EV literature, or maybe it was the rep, says that it's important to take an OC measurement with the PD. But our retail people...
  10. wow

    Thanks for all the info evryone! I'll definitly stay clear of the vision-ease. What company makes the trivex FT transitions?
  11. Polycarbonate transition line bi/trifocals

    anyone know if these are manufactured by any vendor at all? i'm asked for these quite often and I'm surprised that, as far as i could find, they don't seem to exist!

    That has been another dilema of mine. I would really like the quality of a wet system, but also would like to have the flexibility of a dry system. Granted we only order maybe 10-15 drill mount jobs...

    EV4.0 is, as mentioned, Trivex. According to the documentation, it's 15% lighter than poly, it can be cut thinner, but the difference , if you held 2 identicle Rxs side-by-side, is negligible. It's...
