Revo are now with Menrad. It may be worth revisiting them.

Don't know these people, but have a look at Zoobug. www.zoobug.com

I was in the Anne et Valentin boutique in Toulouse last year. Lovely.

Menrad for Menrad, Joop, Davidoff, Jaguar, Zeiss and Morgan.

Well. Optical Express were/are a reasonable size, but their market share and store portfolio are smaller than Specsavers, Boots/Dollond and Aitchison, Vision Express and the independent/small chain...

Larger than Specsavers? I'm very surprised by that.

Homework?

Well, they put on the trial frame and twist the nobbly bits until the lenses are centred. Simples! We don't use phoropters or auto refractors, so can't comment on them. Some of the big chains do,...

I am not worried about online sales, in the same way I am not worried by Specsavers (big discount optical chain here). However I do not see any reason to aid my competitors. I suppose as well that...

Interesting. We have Wing (traditional front surface design), then Synergy (back surface but no customisation), then the three I mentioned with increasing amount of variability. What's available over...

Seiko let you specify inset on their Emblem, NEO and Superior lenses. Those are the UK names, I don't know what they will be called over there (I don't recognise any of the Seiko lens names I see on...

Can't say I've ever heard them called that here, we (opticians) call them temples , and patients call them legs, arms or sides, pretty much like they seem to over there.

The lens you decribe is called Wing over here, and is available up to +8.00 in 1.67 material. It probably has a different name in the US.

Why do the lens companies do this anyway?:confused:

Well it is certainly still available her the the UK. It's Nikon's entry level varifocal, and performs quite well compared to it's peers (ie Liberty, Image etc). Standard front surface prog, min fit...

Dear Mr Twist.

Silhouette are made in Austria, not Australia. Only a few letters I know, but an awful lot miles.:smile:

Hope that helps.

I would imagine everything will stay the same. Eschenbach took over International over here before Tura, and they are continuing on as before, the only difference is that they also offer the...

What are the VA's in the respective eyes? If the aphakic eye has a reduced VA you may be able to get way with a lower Rx whilst still retaining reasonable vision. An Iseikonic lens will be a)ugly and...

Someone may shoot me down here, but as far as I know iseikonic lenses are about equaling retinal image sizes by varying thickness and lens form to achieve a balanced image size WITHOUT affecting the...

Jeez, so it happens over there too.......

We always tell folks when the can collect their specs and STILL they turn up when they can't and get shirty because they can't.

When they come back...

Eschenbach. Actually it was more of a takeover by them, but Tura will probably stay a separate identity. They did the same with International Eyewear over here.

An optical company called Norville, they have 5 labs around the UK.

They are who I go to for anything out of the ordinary. If you want a 20 add you can have that in a R22:wink:

They also do...

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of availability, I can get a R24 with adds up to 15.00 from one of my suppliers

Can't think of when I'd want that though......:biggrin:

Well as it's aimed at the GOC is suppose someone from the UK should comment.

As in the US from time to time we get asked for PD's. I always refuse saying that it is up to the dispenser to verify...

Interesting. What is it that has to be different?

Curious, because I remember about 10 years ago Rodenstock were doing a deal on titanium frames (80% off) here on frames which were supposed to be...
