I got tired of taking my reading glasses off and on so, I ended up getting progressives. I can leave them on and I have adjusted the camera diopter to the area on the lens I naturally go to.

Thanks for that. Next pair of glasses, I think I'm going to go this way. Who does your lenses for you? (I tried to get my eye doctor to put new lenses in existing old frames, and they would only do it for glasses that they currently sold)

I get mine made at Wal-Mart, they do a great job, and only charge 10 dollars to use existing frames, regardless of who sold the frames.

I'll have to look into that before I actually pull the trigger.

I have a very complicated prescription due to double vision, and not all places can make them. Been down that road a few times with some of the "2 pair for $X" places. They can't even do them if I offer to pay the extra. Probably because I usually end up having to get them remade 2 or 3 times to get them right.

I hope they can help you. I was surprised myself, by their quality and expertise, along with the fact of after getting three RX's I couldn't see through from fancy eye dos, the Wal-Mart eye doc finally got me specs that actually improved my vision. Anyway you don't have to use their eye docs.

That's good. I've had to see specialists since I was a kid.

concerning the fotoframes from HoodmanUSA: they only supply the frames. I had my script filled by Sams Club...
Did a good job... And one poster was right, some optical shops won't fit lenses for frames from somewhere else.
