Craig thanks for the info. I would like your thoughts on what I have been told from two ophthalmologist over the years.

First let me say that plastic lenses are one of the greatest things since sliced bread. My nose and ears took a lot of pain when I was young and glass was the only option. But plastic being so light it has really helped. Of course I get scratches and it is my fault for the most part.

Anyway, both Dr's. have told me that because of my prescription I should avoid the mass and same day service places( both Dr's. only write a prescription). As a result, my prescriptions from independant shops usually take 10 days to two weeks and cost a lot more than my wifes which come from places like Lenscrafters, Pearls, ect. What are your thoughts on this.
Chas
PS
She uses the same ophthalmologist I do.
