    Hoya Advantek

    Anyone seen the new ad from Hoya touting their Distortion-Free Optics and their Advantek drill mount system? It sure seems really nifty! No drill holes, the temples are molded into the lenses. I'm already sold on their lenses, I'll have to try their drill mount.

    We tried them about 4-6 months ago. Hopefully they've improved;

    1. Frame is Ideal Optical quality.

    2. The *notches* looked like they were cutout with a hacksaw.

    3. If you need to change lenses ( Dr's change/new Rx) you'll have to send them back in. (patients love that as we know).

    3. 99% of us do not have an edger capable of producing these.

    I like Hoya, but not this product.
