Well, first off, ivm.camp should try to reply in the original thread. I didn't even know this was about my problem until I read your reply to him.
I am definately going to get them to remake them on their dime. What I still can't figure out is if the lenses are on script except for the seg height, then why doesn't the distance portion of the lens match up to what my Dr. showed me thru his testing machine (whatever that thing is called)? I think these lenses are just plain defective. I've never had a pair of glasses give me this weird prismatic effect at the top of distant objects before. Do you know if the Crizal AR coating could cause this? And, unless this is just another defect, Varilux Liberty Airwear lenses have a VERY narrow corridor. I could read maybe 3 to 4 words here without having to turn my head to read a few more. Heck, I could read the whole line with my 6 year old no-name progressives. Varilux calls THAT progress?? If GEG isn't forthcoming with something I can SEE thru, I'm going to start a PayPal dispute and contact the BBB about this.
