All,
I'm a consumer looking for a recommendation for a good optical shop in the San Francisco Bay Area (near Santa Clara), or just some advice on how to find a good optical shop. I've read quite a few sources on the web, sci.med.vision, and thoroughly enjoyed many of the threads on this board.
I've decided that my ideal set of frames is rimless with single-piece magnetic clip-ons. In addition, the lenses will be Hoya 1..71 w/ the Hoya AR coating. I've visited many random optical shops in my area, and none of them seem to offer this exact combination. Some will do rimless but only poly; some will do rimless but only Seiko 1.67. The most frustrating was the situation where they actually HAD a rimless frame with single-piece magnetic clip-on (MdX) and would do Hoya 1.71, but only with the Zeiss AR!
Is there a recommendation for an optician (possibly one on this board?) in the SF Bay Area that does this sort of work? Is there a recommended method for finding one short of calling every place in the phone book?
As a side question, are any of you familiar with other frames that are rimless and have a single-piece magnetic clip-on?
Thanks,
Jeff.
