Hello - new group member here, trying to figure out something kind of complicated. I'm interested in buying a frame/lens set online, but I want to make sure I'm getting something of good quality. I am one of the folks who can easily discern optical abberations in my peripheral vision, so if the lens material isn't really good, I don't want to waste my money.
I'm particularly interested in the ABBE values of the various lens materials used by these outfits. The problem is that each one seems to cite a completely different value for their indexes (1.57, 1.59, 1.61, 1.6whatever), many of which have no match to the standard available monomers from major manufacturers. This means that I can't just say that Store X's 1.61 is likely to be a match for Monomer A because it is also a 1.61, etc. What I would *really* like to find is someone who is using the MR-8 monomer for 1.60 index lenses, since that particular one has the highest ABBE value of any so-called "hi-index" lens on the market right now. But I couldn't find anything on the websites that provided any details about their standard lines - only on their super-high-end options (for those that offer such choices). Am I just being way too optimistic in expecting this kind of information, much less to find someone actually using that specific lens material at the extreme low-price end of the market? I'd appreciate any info y'all may already have. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
