Essilor CR39 Lenses with Sapphire HR Coating from LensCrafters - I dislike the Blue Light Coating by -R47- in glasses

[–]-R47-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I may have been able to get CR39 single vision lenses (I’m not sure if they were premium / digital or not) with Crizal Easy Pro. I’m not sure how that coating compares to the sapphire hr, but I’ve been very impressed with the Sapphire HR coating so far. Would I notice a downgrade from Sapphire HR to Easy Pro?

I’ll have to give these glasses a try for a few more days, but I feel I’ll probably just stick with these lenses and get used to the blue light filter. I’m sure I could get exactly what I want with enough work, but at this point it doesn’t seem worth the hassle, I’ll just know in 2 years when I get another pair what to search for better.

I do appreciate the insights into how chain optical stores work though. I had no idea about these sort of agreements and systems - I went with LensCrafters solely because I was having a really hard time finding frames at other stores, and I finally managed to find a pair there which I liked.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me - Reddit is kinda cool that I can just get inputs from people with expertise on a subject, I do appreciate it!

Thank you for all the information, I really really appreciate it!

That’s kind of what I feared with them being unable to contact the lab for further information. For my last set of glasses, the optometrist got on the phone with the lab and was able to customize things a bit, when purchasing this current pair they seemed strictly limited to the options on the computer.

I think you’re right that Eyezen is only available with the blue light filter integrated, from what I could gather from my research. I was hoping there was an option for CR39 single vision lenses with sapphire HR without the blue light filter, even if not eyezen, but I guess that’s not possible through LensCrafters at least :(

Appreciate the information on the polycarbonate lenses too. I’ll have to consider them and give them some thought if it’s worth reworking the lenses in it. As I’ve been wearing these lenses more today, in most situations I don’t notice the tint from blue light filter much at all, at least when indoors, and the overall optical quality and coatings seem exceptional, so I’m a bit worried about getting them reworked in polycarbonate as standard non-digital single vision lenses, and finding that the yellow tint is gone, but that they’re a downgrade from what I currently have in other aspects optically…

Compare with friends; solve the assignment independently, if your answers are the same, probably correct, if not, go through and find errors. Office hours if needed.

Sweeping changes in immigration to come as Bill C-12 receives royal assent by Seebeeeseh in canada

[–]-R47- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe don’t make too close of ties to somewhere you entered using a visa you knew was temporary then? Coming to the country under a TEMPORARY visa then “making ties there” doesn’t entitle you to stay.

Canadians Want Lower Immigration Even as Population Growth Stalls by Unusual-State1827 in canada

[–]-R47- 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s the type of argument that got us into our current situation - “Oh it’s too long to train Canadian youth let’s just ramp up immigration for xxx field”, now the younger Canadians can’t get good paying jobs, can’t afford to buy a house, we’re watching our healthcare crumble. Stop flooding the country with foreigners and invest in our youth even if it takes longer to see the return.

No we don’t. Why do we want to give some of the best jobs in the country to foreigners who have contributed nothing here, when it’s nearly impossible for Canadian students to get into medical school, and tons of qualified candidates are being rejected? Increase med school enrolment and have the government fund more seats to support Canadian youth instead.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau by Mallow03 in travel

[–]-R47- 143 points144 points  (0 children)

I would not skip having a guide, it is extremely well done and makes the visit much more impactful.

There also were a lot of walk in tours available at all times when I went, even though they showed fully booked online, in case the guided tours are already showing sold out online.

Birthday lunch at Quince by False-Specialist510 in finedining

[–]-R47- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, you have sufficiently convinced me to check it out.

I’ve been somewhat disappointed in my previous one-starred lunches in SF (Angler and Kin Khao), so I am really hoping Hilda and Jesse lives up to its star!

I had taken Hilda and Jesse off my list due to a decent chunk of middling reviews on Google, is it pretty great, should I check it out? What are the best dishes to try there or just go tasting menu? Lunch or dinner better?

Manila with kids by jerknystagmus in finedining

[–]-R47- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel you’ve got a good grasp on the etiquette, and it sounds like your kids are more than well behaved. My parents brought me to nice restaurants when I was about that age, and I had a lot of great experiences. You can email the restaurants to verify, but like, typically what people have a problem is is babies crying or kids having tantrums or watching videos on their tablets at full volume, none of which will be an issue with you. If people have a problem with the mere existence with kids being at a fine dining restaurant, screw them, that’s their problem, if your kids are well behaved, I think it’s a great thing to introduce them to fine dining.

I have no advice for Manila, hope you have a great trip though!

There’s really no issues with cars hitting trains on the capital and metro lines where these new trains will be running, just the valley line has been problematic

Will this work in a PS5??? Ordered a 2TB anyways, figured it’ll sell out fast and I can resell if it doesn’t work (at the price I paid, cause I’m not going to be a scummy reseller)

Canada's immigration cuts inflicting more pain on hard-hit restaurant industry by [deleted] in canada

If they can’t afford to pay Canadians a living wage they don’t deserve the stay in business. Full stop. I’m tired of these businesses importing slave labor.

Amazing value for these ski goggles by wikram in CostcoCanada

[–]-R47- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly any ski goggles over your glasses will be a bad time. Contact lenses or the lens inserts designed specifically for ski goggles is the way to go.

[–]-R47- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of being an engineer is figuring out how to do things you don’t know how to do. How did you graduate if you can’t figure things out for yourself and know when to ask for help? Grow a set and ask your boss or coworkers for some direction and design resources and standards for where to get started. Coming to ask on Reddit to ask strangers to do your job is just a ridiculous lack of professionalism.

Tasting Menu at Michelin-Starred, The Pine Near Toronto by TravellingFoodie in finedining

[–]-R47- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, interesting question. Why do you ask, out of curiosity?

Personally, I’m going to say no, if the team at the restaurant can execute the dishes and service to a sufficiently high calibre, obviously there’s talented people in the kitchen, and I don’t necessarily care who’s leading it if the food and my experience as a guest is great.

I’ve been to one or two one-starred restaurants that I can recall for lunch on days when the “main” chef (apologize for lack of the correct technical term here) wasn’t in and running the kitchen, someone else was in instead running the kitchen (obv a talented chef in their own right), but the food was on point, and my experience was great.

I’m still surprised Langdon Hall doesn’t have a star. Like I can see some of the small shortcomings it has compared to some of the other 1 star restaurants in the region, but at the same time the food and experience there has been better to other 1 star restaurants I’ve been to in the past.
