    Varilux MDS Kit Trial Frames

    I am looking for some of the trial frames that were in the old Varilux Multifocal Demonstrator Kit (MDS KIT). The kit had progressive lenses and flat top lenses that you snapped into a plastic frame (sorta look like the new google glass frame). I am looking for some of the frames! My understanding is that these are no longer made. I have checked several labs that carried the replacement parts in the past, but nothing has come up.

    Thanks for checking!

    I think I have on intact that hasn't been touched in years. I'll let you know if I find it. Probably covered in dust somewhere.

    Back to collecting optical relics from the past, eh? I've got all 3 frames (one mounted with a ST-25, one with a ST-28, and one with plano and a few different adds) and the display they came with. Frames are a very attractive salmon (Or coral) color. Display side that faces patient has mounted mirror below which states: "VARILUX...Better than bifocals". Inside frame bears the big E.

    That said, this system is the workhorse of our office. No batteries to replace, no electronics to flash error signals, and hardly any moving parts to break, it's used every single day. Just in case though, I'll check back home to see if another set of frames can be found.

    Come on folks!

    I know that somebody has one of these kits gathering dust in the back of a cabinet!

    We know that it hasn't seen the light of day since Moby Dick was a minnow!

    Set it free! I will give it a good home!

    There are PROGRESSIVES to be sold!

    Help me out here people! I am in dire straits!
