I don't hang out in this newsgroup and don't know if
the question is appropriate, but here goes:

I am looking for an optician/optometrist/witch doctor
in northeast Ohio who sells/has even heard of the
diamond-machined-to-individual-prescription
aspheric/atoric progressive eyeglasses.

Specifically Rodenstock Multigressive 2 and Zeiss Gradal
Individual.

I found a list on the Zeiss website and have a call into
the local referral.  I have had no luck finding a Rodenstock
dispenser.  The usual response is 'We deal with _all_
lenses, just come on in...' or 'You need a shoe store.
We aren't a shoe store, we sell eyeglasses.'
