    Just received two Varilux Stylistic Wrap jobs

    One Xperio brown polarized in a metal RB, one 1.67 Xperio Polarized in a zyl Ralph Sun. Both came systematic with Xperio Sunshield UV. Metal pair was 25 degree wrap. Zyl was 18 degree.
    edging was FLAWLESS! Centration and the rest of ANSI compliance was fine. Metal pair dispensed yesterday to WOWs. Plastic pair will be dispensed tomorrow (Rx = -5.50)

    I am impressed by the quality of the workmanship. E has a dedicated lab set up to do these.

    B, what lab did you use? I tried to get a -5.75, and the lab said it wouldn't work. (beyond range)

    All VSW jobs are forwarded to ELOA DBL lab, which has a dedicated area for these jobs.

    Yes, an new thing from Essilor, quality lab work, they are trying it out, I don't think it will catch on....... The sad part is how happy Barry is for 2 jobs being done correctly.

    these wrap jobs from E, like the ones from Zeiss, are complete/edged jobs only.

    I dont need to edge everything. Tech today is getting to the point that edging is improving greatly. For me, it is good to know that MJ, Oakley, Pech, and now E can be counted on for quality wrap edging

    He must have had some free vouchers from them.

    (I had to look it up to see if Varilux hadn't launched yet another great lens called the "Stylistic")
