I'd suggest going to www.eyeglasslensdirect.com and asking them what they can do for you. I've never seen a "retailer" offering this before though.
Don't know the legality of this (especially in Canada) but have you thought of setting up a dummy optical business, and then contacting the various manufacturers to see about buy some "samples"? I don't even know if it's legal here (USA) but I know of a person who did something like this with computer software & hardware manufacturers. They just got a tax ID number with the fictitious <sp> company name, and then started contacting major software and hardware manufacturers. You wouldn't *believe* the stuff they've gotten on the cheap doing by this (pennies on the dollar). >;) (YMMV) I'd try it myself, but I'm claustrophobic, and orange isn't my color. ;) -=# Firewalker #=- On Mar 1, 12:55 am, Zet <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok.. this is odd, but did you know that the lenses inyour glasses > started out > as 70mm or so circular blanks in your RX, and they are shaved down to > fit your frame. > > What.. did you think they ground down a chunk of glass specialy for > you? > > Anyway..
