My first pair of glasses: purchased at a major retailer, got them in about an hour and a half in 1995.<\/p>\n
My second pair of glasses: purchased at a smaller boutique, got them in three days back in 2000.<\/p>\n
This pair? Purchased at a high-end boutique, and it only took them…<\/p>\n
Almost three weeks?<\/p>\n
I admit, I do like the new specs so far. Extremely light, comfortable to wear, and the big difference is I can once again read something from across the street. But c’mon! I watched the show on Discovery where they demonstrated the process of manufacture, and even if you start with a bag of raw sand it only takes three days to make a lens. Starting from manufactured stock, the process is a few hours even with all of the modern scratch coatings and Transition features.<\/p>\n
Apparently this lab’s standard process is two weeks, but they fouled the ‘scrip on one lens and had to re-cut, adding another 6 days. This is just a bit ridiculous. What’s the guy doing, grinding by hand?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
