    Another changeable tint lens

    Any thoughts? Will this one make it to market? I know I won't sell it if it does.

    why?

    Maybe in ten years if the control was touch sensitive and along the temple, but pts who want knobs and controls on glasses aren't the kind of pts I'm after. But in 10 yrs refractive errors of the eye will be a thing of the past and we'll all teleport to our jobs as optical historians.:)

    Same or similar product available from some Canadians a few years back, looked into it but lenses were only available in purple, only in a few frames (although a lot nicer than that rec-spec pictured) and about $750.00 each wholesale. I couldn't afford to stock them.

    changeable tints

    On the changeable lens note, how are you all doing with the Younger Drivewear lens? Tried it myself for a short period of time before I lost them. Didn't get enough time to make a decision. One of the pitfalls of having more pairs of eyewear than socks.
