ORIGINAL: sventhebold Symon Tell me more. I have astigmatism(bad) and just had an eye exam. I always get the coating for scratches(still crap) and the darkening lenses(white snow). What else do you recommend and who do you buy your glasses from? I bought just the lenses last time around and it was still 700 bucks and STILL had double vision. The eyeware company told me i was at the edge of correctable vision. You should move to Alabama. I use Eastern Shore Eye Care. A complete exam, dilation and all, along with new bifocal lenses for my old frames was $375 total. They are a full service Hoya dealer, so the lenses come from a Hoya fabrication lab. The blue is just a UV/AR coating with some stuff in it to cut more of the 480-430nm above the uv. Hoya calls theirs BluTech. Same as SeeCoat Blue from Nikon. My astig isn't all that bad, but if you have astig I think it's just as important to get 'top of the line' lenses, as to get a full-boogie eye exam. ps. my new prescription and lenses passed the star test. Went out at night and looked at the stars; all were crisp, clean point sources, even the 5th magnitude stuff. No doubling, bleeding, blurring, smudging. Did I mention that I'm very pleased with the results? [8D] John
