I ordered my new Definity lenses; they cost less than last lenses because they are poly. The ones I am wearing now are Hi index, Panamics Crizals. They are four years old, the coating has long worn off, they are scratched, and are always dirty. Cannot wait to get my new glasses, the Optician was wonderful, so open and honest. Other people came in and said how much they liked the shop and the Dr. there. They did not have a great frame selection, just the basics. The Optician took his time to explain the differences in lenses and the size frame needed for each. You may think this is common but it is not. :)
They charge the same price for each lens no matter what the brand, just the different materials. The most expensive is $399 hi-index 1.70. He said most of his customers are asking for Definity, because of word of mouth. They do not advertise.
I have only one worry and it is my frame it is rimless, drill mount Silhouette. The Optician is making the lens as large as he can, however I think I made a mistake going with that frame. Might have to save up and get a great big oval full frame.
