Opticians with in-house labs in Seattle?

[oaftab17]

Is there an optician on the board with an in-house lab in Seattle, WA? I am trying to fill a very high prescription in a rimless frame, and am trying to minimize edge thickness by using a 1.74 index lens and a *custom* lens shape.

The prescription:
-9.00 -0.50 @08
-8.75 -0.50 @30

PD: (OD = 31.5, OS = 33.0)

Any recommendations for folks with an in-house lab in the Seattle area who have experience in this field?

Thanks!

I have a labratory near Seattle, please pm me if I can be of help. I would not recommend a 1.74 except Seiko's in a drilled rimles (they use a modified molomer), most labs won't drill 1.74 because of the breakage issues, its twice as brittle . Seiko's formula reduces brittleness about 25%, but its still not as good as 1.67 in a drilled. We carry the Ice-Tech super thin lenses (about 30% thinner in this power) but don't recommend drilling their 1.74 either, but their 1.67 is thinner than most 1.74s.

Could also use 1.70

Definitely contact Sharpstick777, he is great working on difficult jobs and I believe he enjoys the challenge. Ice-Tech 1.67 will be a great choice of lens.
