This is a -6.00 carrier poly FT28 in a 44 eye child's frame with a 27 B height. The seg ht is 18. A CT of 1.5mm was ordered. I don't know why my lab insists on setting the carrier OC 5mm above the seg, like it's an Autoflex 1 in a 59 eye. Could they be stuck in the 1960's? I ordered uncuts and this is how it finished out. Sorry the photos are not more ideal.
If you look at the photos, you can see that the top edge at the eye wire is about 1.5mm thick and the bottom edge at the eye wire is probably 7 or 8mm thick. I've asked this well-known lab in the Wilkes-Barre PA region to set the OC at the top of the seg before, but they don't seem able or willing.
Am I correct that this could have been better? Shouldn't a modern lab recognize how these small eye FT's will look when they're finished?
Thanks for looking. :)
