Default Speaking of Vision -- How 'bout Progressive Bifocals?

them to be better (for me) than the bifocals. About 8 months ago I got a
new prescription and had the lenses made at LensCrafters. They never
worked very well (the hour glass was too narrow and so peripheral vision
was very restricted). I had a new pair made, but this time I told them to
use Varilux lenses and not their in house brand (my initial progressives
were Varilux). I am now happy again with my new progressives.


Thanks, Cary. My family has used Lenscrafters for many years, but they DO
have a problem with quality control.

A couple of prescriptions back, they made a lens that had a "wave" in it
that drove me nuts. I eventually had them re-make it. My current glasses
came in earlier this week, but one of the lenses was scratched, so they are
re-making it. (They discovered this before I did, thankfully.)

Of course, given all the glasses they have made for us over the years (we
now ALL wear prescription glasses, with Mary "joining the fun" with her
reading glasses), that's a small -- but measurable -- number.
