Medical Forum / General / Vision / November 2006Price of Physio360
I've been to 3 places and have been quoted $399, $399, and $450 for Physio360 (plastic) lenses. With the frame I've looking at $500 ++..... Is this really what these lenses are selling for? Thanks Tom > I've been to 3 places and have been quoted $399, $399, and $450 for > Physio360 (plastic) lenses. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > > Tom The price depends on the type of material. Exactly what index material were you quoted? 1.50, 1.59 (Airwear, aka polycarb), 160, 1.67, or 1.74? Usually the price goes up when the index goes up. These lenses include Crizal Alize AR coating, so that adds about $100 or more. > > I've been to 3 places and have been quoted $399, $399, and $450 for > > Physio360 (plastic) lenses.

The $399 was for regular plastic lenses.... > The $399 was for regular plastic lenses.... You mean 1.50 regular plastic (CR-39)? All of the lenses I listed are plastic (not glass). If you Rx is so weak that you only need a 1.50 index lens (which is relatively thick and heavy in a moderate to high power Rx), then I wonder why you think that you need Physio360. > > The $399 was for regular plastic lenses.... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > relatively thick and heavy in a moderate to high power Rx), then I wonder > why you think that you need Physio360. I currently have the Panamic, but it is time for new glasses... I've been reading good things about the 360 and figured I'd give them a try.. Here is the script from my most recent exam... +.25 -.50 010 +2.25 +.25 -.50 170 +2.25 The reason I was considering (regular) plastic was just the price... $399... They want $100 extra to go with PolyCarb, which doesn't seem to be a big favorite in this forum... and other lens materials are even more... Maybe I'm looking at a product that I really don't need.... I appreciate your input... Thanks > I currently have the Panamic, but it is time for new glasses...

High-end progressive lenses definitely are expensive. One reason is adaptation warranty, and the frequent need for free remakes (Rx adjustment, improper measurement of fitting height by optician, etc). |
