    Plano uncut pre-tinted sunlenses

    I posted this on the Professional forum, then noticed that it gets hardly any traffic. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting here also.

    When I order plano sunlenses from my lab, I pay a lot for the tinting. If I can send not-too-expensive pretinted uncut planos, then I'll save a bit of money. Do you have any suggestions about where to order them? I only need a dozen pairs or so.

    Many thanks!

    -Poly is the best substrate for coatings.
    -Poly is extremely scratch resistant.
    -Poly is extremely impact resistant.
    -Poly is unparalleled in clarity.
    -Poly is much lighter than traditional crown glass.
    Like poly, you can trust me about 40% of the time.

    I will 2nd Don Gilman's services. He has yet to let me down!

    I will also mention though that polarized planos are probably much more cost efficient if you are neither edging nor tinting, and you will be giving your patients a much better product.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    Seconded. And many lens suppliers provide them.

    Thank you all! I'll keep Don Gilman's offer in mind, but in the meantime a friend offered me a dozen at their cost.

    And the reason that I don't order polarized ones is that I sell very few plano sunglasses.

    Again, many thanks1
