    Confused Cost of Digital Progressive Blanks

    Hi,

    Does anyone have an idea of how much would be the cost of SF Blanks to produce digital PALs or SVs, clear as well as Transitions (VI/VII).

    Thanks.

    I don't really understand your question. Are you looking for all of the costs involved to product a digital lens, or just what a semi-finished single vision costs? If you want an idea of all of the costs, it can vary depending on which designs you're looking for.

    If you don't know how much a semi-finished single vision costs, I'd think you have other things to worry about before you produce digital ( I assume you also mean free-form) progressives.

    Hello Bill,

    Thanks for your comments on my thread.
    I just wish to know what are the SV blank cost (I understand that they are also called PUCs).
    Are the prices similar to the conventional SV blanks or are the blanks of some special specifications?

    Thanks again.

    I don't think you want to discuss prices in this forum.

    Yeah, I can't really comment on specific prices, but I can say that they tend to be similar to regular SFSV.

    As Bill stated the cost tends to be around the same for SFSV. Some brands though will require you to purchase their PUCS for the sake of consistency, etc.. which may come at a slightly higher cost.
