I've decided to photo-document a pair of FF progressives I'm making. The specs are:
Rx: OD -11.25; OS -11.75; add +2.25 O.U. Digital Eyelab G Mod 1.67 polarized FF progressives into a Juicy Couture "Sweet/s" Tort Sun frame.
Panto: 7 degrees; VD: 12.5mm (same as refraction); Wrap/Panoramic angle: 10 degrees (!)
I spec'd the lenses on a 2 Base, as opposed to a plano base, which is where they would belong in a flatter-angled frame.
Take a look:

I think the first and third photos say it all....It's almost a -12.00, fer cris sake! I'll let you know if the client survives.
Happy New Year!

Nice job Berry. Am I seeing you edger info correct? (Did you use the guide function to put a 5.5 BC bevel on the 2 base lens? I do that also on flat based lenses going into higher curved frames.)
Nice Job! I <3 the Me-1200 and the hi-curve and step options. And the jobs come out much nicer when you know what to order and know your machine well enough to make such a beautiful looking job. Way to go!
Pez:D
Jeeze, you got major cojones to do a script like that in a sunglass. At least it's not a wrap.
Yes, this bevel meniscus feature is absolutely essential to make lenses fit ideally. And I do think that an rx of this range, in a wrap angle of 10 degrees, qualifies it for wrap status.Originally Posted by optical24/7

The finished product looks fantastic cosmetically, but how are the optics?
Well, obviously they've been compensated. but until the client tries these out (and I'm out on a limb here, As she is somewhat sensitive!) firsthand, we won't know. I'll keep you posted.

From what I know about that lens, you should be fine.
id have to bend that frame all to heck to get that to work on my edge master 2000
that is a nice looking job
she will probably love them
i doubt she has ever been able to choose a frame that cool in the past
You've created a product that your customer will value and appreciate.
Beautifully crafted, Master Santini!
c'mon barry; you can do that with a 7070 and a handstone; I wanna see your facets and the custom drills.
make us jealous so we have an excuse to get a third mortgage on the house.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing.
too bad it's a juicy frame....
I see nothing wrong in that!

Nice job all around. The great thing about it turning out so well is that the patient will be more inclined to give it a fair shake if she likes the way it looks. (which of course, she will!)
Let us know when you dispense them.

Santini.....Santinelli....hmmmLOL
Well here ya go. Its not a facet, but its something I did for a tribute to the pacman
I'll have to take some pictures of the more exotic stuff I guess. The facet is ok. Could polish better, but touching up a polish is way better than starting from scratch. It cant polish trilogy to save its life, but I've found that after the lens rotates once or twice on the polish wheel, start dripping water on it and it does a superb job.
I'm doing another themed pair as soon as my frame gets here. I'll post some images of it as well.
Whats does a 1200 do that a 1000 cannot? polished facts?
Step bevel mainly, but there are some other enhancements to most of the other bevel modes. The nidek people said that a future software upgrade will permit a sculpted bevel, a la Oakley Flak Jacket. We'll see.

Update: I've delivered the Suns. She put them on, and with nary a word...she LUV'd them! I asked her to stand up and walk, and that's when she felt alittle woozy (from the 10 degree wrap). I advised her that she would gets used to this, or we might reduce the wrap angle a bit if needed. I'll complete her Zeiss 1.74 Individuals tomorrow. Maybe I'll take photos and post them here too. Thanks for all the kind words. With the right equipment, my ME1200, its so easy, a caveman....

Awesome!
This gives me hope that "Why YES I can do that"!!
The step bevel ability on this thing is truly amazing. Even the square beveled suns are cake with the last software upgrade they did here. We've had ours for about a year and I'm still loving the fact that I can do pretty much anything. There is an upper size limit on the step bevel, but dont know what it is. We had a 68 eye sun that was square beveled with a step that the machine flat wouldnt do.
Once I got the hang of it, some of the rx lenses I use for those square / step bevels fit better than the demos that ship with it.
