    Looking for Lenses

    We are looking for a source for finished sv CR39 tinted Planos in either grey or brown. Apparently were going to be cranking out some cheap sunglasses for a contact lens promo offer and it would be tons easier on us to have pre-tinted lenses. I know these used to be available in the past but I cant seem to find any now.

    Im somewhat limited to vendors we have already used. We dont have accounts with the two you mentioned but we may be able to go through one of the wholesale labs we use.

    If you want to see your customers again get Polarized Lenses there is little or no reason for suns to be anything else.
    I have a lab that does them for us really inexpensively, so they must be available in bulk somewhere at low prices.
    If you are just going to do CR-39 without polarization, get some of Chris Ryser's microwave dyes and this will give you more choices, quick and cheap reguarding colors.

    Thanks for the plug Chip. Actually you can tint a uncoated CR lens in 60 seconds with the MicroTints, check it on my website and you won't have to by stock.
