    Based out of BC, my guess is it's an offshore Chinese supplier operating under an alias. Which translates to absolute crap, especially with their coatings.

    @haliopt, our digital progressive is made by Essilor Canada.

    All our coatings are processed by Essilor Canada labs as well.
    Are you owned by Essilor?

    Great but it would be appreciated that you did not broadcast your pricing, so that the public can see it.

    You website seems to suggest that only CR-39 and poly materials are available. Is that really correct?

    What difference does it make? How many people outside of opticals have their own edger?

    Since CR39 and Poly is the Essilor business model, that pretty much proves that they do carry genuine Essilor products.

    HAHA, good point. Commodity and crap in the same portfolio (materially speaking, lacking index innovation).

    It sounds like just another avenue to dump cheap quality and high volume under an additional alias.

    I received an email from you this morning to my personal email account.
    Since we do not have any kind of a relationship, how did you obtain my personal email address?

    Most forum software will allow emails to be sent to your email address without the sender knowing your email. However that assumes that you have set your profile to hide your email address.

    All of the email addresses on OptiBoard are hidden, unless someone posts it. When you email someone from OptiBoard you don't know their address.

    I side with Golfnorth on this. It's a fair question.

    Hi Golfnorth,

    This is a pathetic way to do business. If he didn't subscribe, how did his address end up on your list? Because you're operating as an alias. Like I said before, rethink your business plan - it really seems to need some adjusting.
