    Any suggestions on where to order lenses from?

      I usually go the expensive route and order my lenses from Hoya: they’ve always done a great job with all my lenses, the edge placement is always perfect and they supply really thin lenses in high-index materials.

      The problem is, you can’t order direct from Hoya. So I go through my local optician - a Luxottica outfit - whom I tell what to order from Hoya, then takes his cut and extorts me because I didn’t buy frames from them. That’s why it’s the expensive route.

      But I’d rather do that because they’re local to me, I know them well, and I don’t replace my lenses very often since I can print new frames at will.

      You probably will find cheaper online, but I don’t know what the quality will be.
