    +9.00 Fresnel?

    I've had 2 suppliers tell me the +9.00 fresnel lens is no longer available (at least through them). Anyone know where I can get one?

    What kind of fresnel are you looking for? I've been told by centennial that they have stick-on fresnels up to 25D

    I'm looking for a +9 stick on; not a 9 prism dioptre. That seems to be the problem - perhaps 3M stopped making the high plus variety? It's for a low vision product which is not Rx correctable.

    Ooooh. I gotcha. Did you check with some of the low vision suppliers? Eschenbach etc?

    Awesome! Apparently 2 different suppliers were too slow to let me know that; they just said no to a +9!

    Thanks so much!
