    Plastic progressive transitions, who makes them. I need options.

    I surface my own lenses and usually use Hoya but I’m running into issues with their stock and back order so I’m looking for options.

    Other than younger and Essilor what other options are there?

    thanks

    Thank you, forgot about those since Essilor purchased both of them I thought they would have been neutered. I’ll try calling them.

    We are seeing the same issues with Hoya. Signet and Shore are good alternatives.

    Shamir stopped producing molded PAL blanks a few years ago to focus on digital.
