Yes, Chris. You are correct. To get get single vision lenses, you would just drop the ADD from the Rx.
Now, let me ask a question. What about your new Rx do you think is not "thorough and complete" & what about it would make you hesitate in ordering progressives online? Just wondering, as I've ordered quite a few progressives online for me and my wife and, other than finding out that I hate the abberations in polycarbonate lenses, we've had zero trouble with the progressives we've ordered. I will add this caveat though...if this is your first pair of progressives, it does take some getting used to wearing them. Hardest part for me was accomodating to the fact that you have to turn your head to focus on something, rather than just turning your eyes. I'd suggest getting a pair from an online vendor that is known for it's "spot on" lenses, like Zenni perhaps. Once you have adapted to wearing them, THEN I'd look into getting my Oakleys reglazed, as reglazing is a bit more expensive, and you don't want to spend more "large coin" to find out you're one of the few who just can't adapt to progressives. -=# Firewalker #=- On Jun 10, 11:19 am, Chris Gallucci <[email protected]> wrote: > First, let me say WOW, what a resource!
