My Varilux Ellipse lenses (see http://www.varilux.com/vision%20care%20professionals/products/specialized/varilux%20Ellipse/Short%20corridor%20lenses%20the%20widening%20market.htm ) from $39dollarglasses also have those markings, if you look really hard. (The Ellipse lenses are for shorter lenses, and my glasses are very similar to the ones pictured at the above link.) When I have my glasses properly positioned on my nose, I can read very well, and I'm otherwise very happy with them. (I do have separate computer glasses, though - I don't like holding the head-tilt to see the screen properly.)
My only issue with $39dollarglasses is that I wish they had a larger selection of frames. :) On Mar 6, 11:30 am, abfabdude <[email protected]> wrote: > Since they were relatively inexpensive, I ordered a pair of Glasses > with Progressives from Both Zenni and G4U to compare for myself. > > Zenni's are fantastic, I dont think I've EVER gotten a pair so "spot > on" from a US brick and mortar.
