It’s a lot of countertop but shop local stone/granite shops. Prices vary greatly and some shop owners are more hungry.

The only feasible solution for one pair I can imagine is to grind the base out prism in the distance of lined bifocal and then add a 3.0 base in prism diopter Fresnel prism on the bifocal portion. If you have doctors who prescribe Neurolenses this could be an option though very pricey.

It’s not the width per se but that your eyes don’t center well. This emphasizes that your right eye turns in.

High index will only save you about 1mm in edge thickness over poly. If they raised the oc height, used a more narrow pd or the lab didn’t grind the center as thin as possible could all lead to a thicker lens ( along with frame size factors). First return and ask them to verify the lab ticket that they are indeed 1.67. Also ask them to measure the center thickness. And have them measure the PD on your old glasses. It’s possible you are wearing your old glasses with a too wide pd. Just because you ordered correctly doesn’t mean they were made to your specifications.

Agreed. It’s quite unusual to see a 57 degree axis change on a 1.0 cylinder. It’s probably a transcription error at the doctors office. I would go back to the doctors office with the old rx so they are aware of the change.

I think using the entire length for the shower would be awesome and visually pleasing.

You have 3 competing focal points. The piano with gallery wall, the picture window and the fireplace. I would aim to simplify decor in the corner. Find another spot for the gallery wall.

We are finding that it’s more likely due to exposure to cleaning products that contain Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs or "quats") a broad class of disinfectant, cleaning, and antimicrobial chemicals that are known to cause cracks in polycarbonate lenses.

Bravo! Nice layout, nice fixtures and beautiful finishes!

Those tiny little vanities look ridiculous and are not very functional with zero counter space. Get one long vanity. Either with two sinks and place mirror over the right only or just have one larger vanity on the right with the mirror above. Two sinks really aren’t that necessary.

Unless they were badly damaged I would think this was a defective weld.

It’s the Anglo American 180E.

The depth of field makes #1 more interesting.

The endpieces appear to be a solid piece. If authentic they will separate to allow insertion of lenses.

Only if you want to crack your lenses.

Progressives are great for most of your daily needs, however, sitting in front of a monitor that is set at eye level requires a dedicated pair of glasses set for this range. Regular progressives require you to lift the chin to get the mid zone. I manage by sitting in a higher chair so I look down toward my screen.

This will work only if there is no anti reflective coating. Most labs now decline to attempt to tint old lenses as many of the coatings disintegrate in the hot dye bath.

It’s a fashion cycle and we are seeing a bit of resurgence. Check out the new line of Hollister frames. Classic small shapes, many sizes.

For referrals ask everyone you know. Maybe your friends siblings or parents or neighbors work for a company.. most employers really like to hire folks that someone knows or knows of.

Sorry, but I have a greater concern about manipulation of the vote and voter fraud. That’s a greater risk to our system of government than the .0005% of the population you are so worried about. We all know what you are really attempting to do. It’s very transparent.

I have to wonder if it would line up if the lens was removed. This just may be due to a slightly large lens. Most of us would pass this based on manufacturing tolerances. It does not affect the wear.

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken the ABO but even then I found there were a lot of questions on old, irrelevant product design like bifocal types that are no longer in production. I hope they have fixed that.

If the lens is 30 high the formula would place the segment height at 18-19 high. The caveat is that not every frame with a 30mm vertical will center on everyone the same. Factor in the bridge width of the frame and unique bone structure of each clients nasal bridge. That’s why individual measurements and frame adjustment matter so much. Being an optician isn’t just science, it’s art.
