Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2007Materials for trifocals
I am in need of a new set of glasses. I have tried progressives in the past, and was not happy, so ended up with trifocals. The highest index the optician has avaialle in a trifocal is 1.56. In progressives or bifocals there seem to be lots of material choices, ranging to 1.67 and higher, but very few choices in trifocals. Is this really true, or is this just a problem with the particular optician? Are there materials that I should ask for? I am interested in higher index for thin appearance and ligh weight. My prescription: sphere cyl axis add R: -5.25 +1.00 180 +2.00 L: -6.00 +1.00 160 +2.00 Thanks for your help, Lee > I am in need of a new set of glasses.

Aside from being non-responsive to the original poster's question, this seems awfully strange considering the post that YOU put up this morning: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.vision/browse_frm/thread/2f5baeff8a14f7ad /184bc0ab7ccf3c29#184bc0ab7ccf3c29 And the fact that you bumped it up again to keep it at the top. Care to explain? > > I am in need of a new set of glasses. I have tried progressives in the > > past, and was not happy, so ended up with trifocals.

If Lee is reasonably happy with his trifocals, then refractive surgery may not be a good idea. Surgery will only give correction at one distance. You can choose distance, middle or close, but you only get one. For other distances, it will be necessary to wear glasses. I don't mind swapping glasses, but many people do mind. >I am in need of a new set of glasses. I have tried progressives in the >past, and was not happy, so ended up with trifocals.

Trivex would be my first choice for your Rx.

Or you can skip the surgery, and its attendant risks, and get yourself a nice pair of high-index lenses in some really attractive frames. >Or you can skip the surgery, and its attendant risks, and get yourself >a nice pair of high-index lenses in some really attractive frames. Well, that's the question. Where do I find "a nice pair of high-index lenses" in trifocals. For the record, I have no interest in lens correction surgery, replacement lens surgery, eye exercises, or contacts. I am considering making another try with progressives, because the options for trifocals seem limited. Lee > > I am in need of a new set of glasses.

I suggest that you stop diagnosing people and sending them to surgeries, nor giving them medical advice which you are not qualified to give. Stick with palm reading. |
