    source for inexpensive stock FSV Trivex AR?

    Anyone have a good source for very inexpensive FSV Trivex AR lenses? I get Crizal Alize and Hoya Phoenix Hi-Vision already which are excellent for more premium needs, but the Hoya is still more than 4x the cost of excellent basic SOMO poly AR.

    Does anyone else make a decent FSV Trivex AR that comes in at maybe just 2x equivalent poly AR? Or is Trivex just still to obscure to be that well priced?

    It seems crazy because I get the SOMO 1.67 aspheric Ultraclear for less. Trivex is great and all but I don't know why (other than poor supply) it should fail to be price competitive with other more premium lenses.

    Anyone got a good supplier?

    I actually think the VSP Unity Elite Aspheric Trivex is a better AR than Seiko Surpass on Asph Trivex, and their Trivex with Elite is good...

    I've tried both and the Elite Trivex Asph is my go to there, its kinda hard to believe.

    Here's another vote for Shore and they are aspheric.

    I need a supplier for Aspheric Trivex Stock lenses (hardcoat only) up to +4.00 to +5.00, for inexpensive high quality custom readers. I can't find any, I might have to use the xcel Aris spherical lenses or Seiko aspheric 1.60, any help????
