Optical4Less does do lenses in those strengths, but they are going to cost you.
They have Myothin® Lenticular (Myodisc) Lens for $238 above the regular costs for strengths between -20.00 and -40.00. They also have Extrem® Rx High-index 1.9® for $178 above the regular costs for strengths between -15.00 and -25.00. You can see all the lenses they normally carry and the strengths at http://www.optical4less.com/ourlens/ -=# Firewalker #=- On Apr 8, 12:02 pm, Chuck Knight <[email protected]> wrote: > Let me start with a heartfelt YIKES!
