    Rhinestones added to sun Rx

    Just had a pt walk because none of our labs could add rhinestones to the front of her sunglasses. What gives? They used to do that regularly, didn't they? Or were those all drilled through and attached with a locknut? The demo lenses in the sunglass frame were drilled in the front and glued on. I was tempted to do it myself but figured if the labs won't do it, there must be a good reason.

    There is also a lab here in So Cal called House of Rimless...they can do it. They are owned by one of my competitors-and may I say one of my least favorite competitors :angry: but they do some amazing stuff. If you can't get a hold of Billy they would be a good second choice but I would definitely try him first

    My little 300 jpd lab in Kansas did it, just the way Harry described. But they used glue also.
