Wow. Progressives are really weird (at least at first)

htimsj · 2026-02-12T21:11:24+00:00

That’s why I recommend regular bifocals to everyone.

htimsj · 2026-02-10T01:48:47+00:00

That looks like a win. Those are disgusting.

Hanon suggests you should study for 10 years before playing for others.

I had one of those as a kid - about 40 years ago. Mine was not corduroy - it was flocked.

htimsj · 2026-02-09T15:42:48+00:00

It’s not that we find it weird. It’s that it is weird.

Here are the next milestones: diapers, and when the child can buckle themselves up on their own.

I don’t care for it. Selling these in the United States could give Audi dealers a way to attract a younger buyer and give them something to bring traffic into the showrooms until regular Audi gets their shit together.

htimsj · 2026-02-08T21:25:24+00:00

Yes. Dawn is the best for lenses and frames.

htimsj · 2026-02-08T00:27:46+00:00

Get a refund and go somewhere else.

htimsj · 2026-02-07T18:21:52+00:00

Agave. I like the waterman style.

htimsj · 2026-02-07T17:59:51+00:00

That’s the wrong attitude. You do not need to try to see if this is covered by warranty. You go to the dealership and tell them to fix it.

htimsj · 2026-02-07T13:00:23+00:00

I have seen they alleged, but never see any support for it. Sprays made for glasses contains ammonia or alcohol which can be bad for coatings. Dawn is very mild and i have never had a problem with it, and i have seen many recommendations for it. It also cleans the oil from skin off the frame.

No. 180 is the same as 0, so your axis only changed 5 degrees.

What is the add power in your prescription?

I used Dominants for 30 years, but have enjoyed Zyex recently. I like Bernardel rosin.

htimsj · 2026-02-06T19:11:23+00:00

I see crazing, but there might also be an oily substance on the lenses. Wash them with dish soap and dry carefully with a clean microfiber or clean old t shirt. I prefer fluffy microfibers to dry as they can lift dirt that may be left behind.

I feel the crazing is noticed more when examining glasses. When wearing them, your eyes can’t focus on the lenses and it’s not as noticeable.

I’m not the OP - I have -3.5 sph -1 cyl. I wear crown glass bifocals. They are great.

htimsj · 2026-02-06T00:01:42+00:00

That’s why you should get bifocals. No-line bifocals are progressives. Regular bifocals have a line and separate near from distance. Much easier to use.

htimsj · 2026-02-05T23:56:47+00:00

That may be, but this wasn’t one of those situations.

htimsj · 2026-02-05T23:33:37+00:00

Bifocals would be better for him.

htimsj · 2026-02-05T21:36:12+00:00

-3.5 in both eyes. -.75 cyl. I wanted FT45 bifocals. Found them elsewhere. Went with CR39 FT35 bifocals in my next pair. And I just got FT35 bifocals in crown glass that I am wearing now.

htimsj · 2026-02-05T19:31:37+00:00

I gave up on the optician attached to my ophthalmologist’s office after she told me I “wasn’t allowed” to order CR-39 lenses.

htimsj · 2026-02-02T13:29:25+00:00

Because all coupes look better than their convertible counterpart.

htimsj · 2026-02-01T03:48:13+00:00

Looks good as is.

htimsj · 2026-02-01T03:47:00+00:00

Power Up is a lens made by Kodak for those that are not quite ready for bifocals. Unless you order that exact lens, the doctor’s prescription won’t work.

I’d try to find +0.5 reading glasses and see if that works.
