Dear All, I have a serious disagreement with one of the most reputable online glasses shops. I will not name them until I am certain that I am right, but for that I need your help.
Last year I order a pair of glasses for my son with lens size 41*21 mm, prescription +8.5, Cyl -2.5, axis 175, lens index 1.67. I was very pleased with them, they were very thin, approximately 4 mm at the thickest point at the edge, and circa 4.5-5 mm total thickness. They appeared well made, no complaints. In March 2009 I ordered the same prescription and lenses quality and index, but this time with a frame size 42*25 mm, so only 1 mm wider. This time however, the lenses were circa 2 mm thicker, both at the edge as well as total thickness. This is 50% more!!. I was dissappointed with this, I don't want my son to be teased in school for wearing jam jars. I complained, and after several messages to and fro and even a side by side photograph, the company says they delivered the correct product and maintains that this difference in lens thickness is due to the difference in frame size. I, on the other hand, agree that with a slightly bigger frame comes a slightly thicker lense, but surely not 50% more! I also checked the lens thickness at http://www.opticampus.com/tools/thickness.php.The first pair is more or less in line with opticampus, whereas the second is way out of line, it is much too thick. So, is there anybody who can give a sensible opinion on this? thanks, BertJan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
