Hi Everyone!
I just joined the group today, and was wanting to know if anyone had a
lead on where to look for some good used dispensary fixtures.(i.e;
frame boards, racks, etc) I dont want anything new and expensive.
plans are in the making for my first optical shop.( a dream i,ve had
for yeeaarrs!) I've been in optics for a little over 20 years, and am
tired of working for other people amd making them rich. ITS MY TURN! I
look forward to chatting to you guys.
Chastity.
I currently work as a tech here in NJ and was looking for some awesome labs
that y'all recommend. Has anyone had any experience with Hoya?

Try Franel Optical Supply. 1-800-327-2070. They have a huge archive
of out of production frames. Their toll free phone number is
1-800-327-2070. Speak to either Neil or David. Let them know that you
heard about them from this list. They have a website,
franeloptical.com but I do not think their archives are online yet.
They have really interesting and unique ready readers (some high
style and some very mainstream), tools, equipment, etc of all types
for the optical trade. Their booth at Vision Expo E or W is always 5
deep with people and they also attend Academy of Ophth, where is it
so fun to go shopping for all things optical.
As for this exact frame, I am not sure if they carried Van Heusen or
not, but worth a try. If for nothing else, to ask for a catalogue of
their products. They have been around since the mid 60's and are one
of the last independent wholesalers around.
Good luck,
Mark

When you first put glasses on a small child like that, do it at a toy store or
at a pet store. Distraction is probably one of the best weapons that parents
have (and sometimes the least used)

Mark,
I can guarantee you that if your glasses are that old that its the
anti-reflective coating coming off. All of these coatings are
designed to last the life of a prescription. Your prescription from
the eye doctor is only good for 1 to 2 years and then you should have
a regular eye exam within this time period...this is what is
recommended by all eye doctors. Therefore these coatings will only
last that long. Anti-reflective coatings are multi-layered coatings
that thru time the outer coatings "wear" off thru cleaning and such.
Alcohol and ammonia based cleaners will "speed" up the wearing off of
such coatings. Even with using the specially designed lens cleaners
these coatings are not going to last as long as your expecting them
too. Now, I carry in my store a solution that removes the anti-
reflective coating. If you can find someone there where you live
that carries that solution you can have them remove it for you. The
best coatings on the market now carry at the most a two year warranty
and a couple of them are really good coatings too. Hoya Hi-Vision
and Hoya Super Hi-Vision are good coatings and carry two year
warranties....I've had good success with them. Another is called
Crizal. I like the Hoya coatings the best..they have better scratch
resistance qualities in my opinion. They are available in different
plastic materials so you have several options.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Brent,
Thanks for your reply. I kind of suspected that the coatings on my
lenses are responsible for the loss of optic quality. When I fist
got my lenses 5 years ago they were super clear. They have an
anti glare as well as UV coating, sort of a green shimmer. Now,
after 5 years the optics are much worse.
I'm dissapointed that they only maintained their opitc quality for 4
or 5 years. Is this standard for coatings? The guy who sold them
to me assured me that the lenses and coatings were state of the
art.
I would like to try glass lenses but I think my perscription is to
severe, 1.45 or something like that. I'll look into it, and also those
coatings you mentioned.
I had some insurance recently that entitled me to a pair of
eyeglasses. I got some plastic lenes with no coatings on them.
They are crystal clear compared to my 5 year old lenses. I'll see
how they last.
Thanks again for the info.

Mark,
Lenses don't wear out however certain coatings can slowly distengrate
and compromise the optics. Also, scratches play a part in the acuity
of lenses. Glass lenses surpass all lenses as far as the best optics
that you can get however there is a weight issue there. Your
prescription will determine if you need a thinner lighter
material...there a quite a few on the market to choose from...much of
it depending on how much correction you have. There is a newer lense
made from a material called Trivex which has exceptional optics and
is a very durable lense. This lense with an anti-reflective coating
should give you exceptional optics. Anti-reflective coatings improve
the light transmission of the lenses therefore improving clarity
also. Two coatings on the market that are very good are the: Hoya
Super Hi-vision anti-reflective coating and also the Crizal Azize is
good also.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I'm nearsighted and have been wearing glasses for 25 years or
so. I've noticed that whenever I get new glasses the new lenses
seem to work much better, clearer and sharper, even though
they have the same perscription. Do lens "wear out" over time?
Does it has something to do with the lens coatings that are
popular these days? What are the best lenses to buy? I'm
interesested in maximum clarity, I'm thinking of going with just a
plain lens, no anti glare coatings or such.
thanks,
Mark
