Fitting Plano Drivewear Lenses

**2040** · 05-20-2015, 01:51 PM

Hi All,

Kindly excuse our ignorance on this.
We have just received a pair of digitally processed Drivewear Plano Lenses and would like to know what is the right technique to fit them.
We mean considering the axis of polarization or whatever it may be technically termed.
The patient is sensitive and has had a bad experience with Drivewear causing headaches.
The frame is a Boss Orange with base 8.00 the new lenses we ordered are also of base 8.00

Kindly guide us.

Thanks

Are they uncut?

Rotate them until they turn black. One is now on axis the other 90 degrees off. Hold one to a plano polarized sun lens you know is on axis. If it's black then it is off 90 degrees rotate 90 degrees to get correct axis mark and edge.

Seriously- are you really working in a wholesale lab and do not know this???

Fester, please be nice to the VSP lab person.

Now you feel bad, don't you, Uncle?

Mean old Fester!

Someone has to learn for the first time.

Yes I am becoming a curmudgeon in my dotage!

You have to admit it pushes the boundaries that the poster works in a wholesale lab and has no one to ask this question too.

Reminds me of an OB'r who doesn't post as often these days relating how after watching a lens set and cut in the edger for the first time, asked if turning the sizing wheel up made the lens bigger.

...it doesn't?

Thanks to all who supported this thread with your comments & suggestions.
No worries Sirs about some critics - we accept that this is part of life.
With due respect to all of you, some times we have to learn the hard way.
GOD bless

2040- I am sorry I doubted that you are a wholesale lab but Optiboard does get some posters who say they are in the optical field and are not.

I wish you kind regards.
