Medical Forum / General / Vision / January 2005Got My New Glasses
Picked up my new progressives yesterday, Varilux Comforts in a set of Oga half-rim frames. Pretty good right out of the box. They might be set just a mm or so high, but I'm going to try and get used to that before going back. Not all that bad, really. I had the optician grind the lenses a couple of mm longer than the dummy display lenses to give me a bit more reading correction area. I absolutely love the Oga frames. Not only do they look good, but they are strong and rigid and fit me perfectly. I'm really glad I went to my usual optician and not one of the discount places I had been considering. He's great. -- Greg Beaulieu ab348@chebucto.ns.ca Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada >Picked up my new progressives yesterday, Varilux Comforts in a set of Oga >half-rim frames.

He's great. Glad to hear you found a good optician. I'am not familiar with the Oga frames. Only place I've found them with a quick google search was http://www.caseco.co.uk/. Looks like the US doesn't have a distributor. Do you where they are made? Another way to get more reading correction area, or less tipping of the head back (to see higher up on the page), is to use a shorter corridor PAL design. I wear a +2.25 add and for me they work extremely well. Regards Robert Robert : Glad to hear you found a good optician.

Do you : where they are made? There's no indication on the frame itself. They seem to be a Scandinavian design. The writing on the frame (aside from some numbers) says only "Les Createurs Reunis", whatever that is. Could they be made in France? : Another way to get more reading correction area, or less tipping of the head : back (to see higher up on the page), is to use a shorter corridor PAL design. I : wear a +2.25 add and for me they work extremely well. My other set uses short-corridor AO Easy lenses and they work OK, but I find the transition a bit abrupt. I specified the Comforts since I knew what I would get and liked them in my old set. After 10 days I like them even more - as close to a perfect set of glasses as I've ever had. -- Greg Beaulieu ab348@chebucto.ns.ca Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada |
