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,

Mr Lee,
If you could give me your age I can suggest you something that you can
get rid of glasses.If you are in the age group of 25 to 30 years you
can go in for a laser correction{Only Zyoptix} as you have both Sph
and Cylindrcal correction.The procedure is absolutely safe and in case
you need more details please visit Baush and Laumb web site or on the
Google just type Zyoptix and you will be directed to the link where
you a whole lot of information regarding the same. |

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? |

7/28 Trifocal is available in 1.52 Glass, 1.50 CR39 (aspheric optional), 1.59
Polycarbonate, 1.55, 1.56, and 1.53 Trivex. Trivex would be my first choice for
your Rx.
Hope this helps

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. |

it is not about your particular optician, simply availability. |

If you have crossed the age of fourty you can as well think of going
in for a clear lens exchange ie a lens that will replace the one in
the eye with what is known as Multi focal that is near
vision,intermediary vision and distant vision so that you need not
have to wear specs any more for life. |

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.

Churie,
Are you a fortune teller?
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. |
