Blepharospasm Bulletin Board

Ten years ago, I gave them an old pair of my prescription glasses. They put on FL41 tint and sent them back.
It's still $35 to have the tint applied to your own glasses (plus tax, postage & handling). [ healthcare.utah.edu/moran/optometry/fl41-lenses ]

I've sent them prescription glasses, both old and new, a few other times since then. Also got a pair of wrap-arounds (Cocoons). Always pleased with the results. I've found FL41 helpful with various kinds of light sensitivity, including sunlight, glare, fluorescent light, flickering TV images, and other things.

You can send them frames and have them put in lenses with or without your prescription, or get a clip-on for your glasses, and there are some other variations. Hadn't tuned into that before!

Some labs put on a tint that's more of an orange color. I don't care for that, but if you look around, make sure to ask about the color of the tint. FL41 is not always rose-colored.

I see that there's now another company in SLC that's called Axon Optics (don't know if they're connected with Moran or the University). Never tried them, they also have a variety of ways in which you can get these lenses.
On a quick glance, the prices seem to be comparable—one may charge a little more for one thing and less for another.
I think Axon may also have colorless tint, or are working on it.
For the rose tint, it sounds as if they have 'indoors' and 'outdoors' (a lighter and a darker tint). With Moran, I could experiment. I've had 25% and 35% intensity tint made for indoors, much more for outdoors (I overdid it here when I once ordered 75%). May be wrong in what I think Axon was saying, maybe they do have as much flexibility, but had the impression that they didn't. Sorry, it's late, but wanted to get this sent off.

Oh, and I just did a search for 'FL41 lenses Canada', and this hit came up—from our very own bulletin board!:

"FL41 TINT For Sunglasses - Blepharospasm

Hi Donna, I had FL41 sunglasses (no prescription) made a few years ago in Canada, at a place called Mississauga Optical in Mississauga, Ontario."

Maybe you'll be able to find them nearer to where you are. Otherwise, if you have a pair of frames that you like; or know a style # and size for Cocoons; or have a new, untinted pair made and want to send those, I imagine that it shouldn't be a problem.
I've spoken on the phone before with Patrick, the manager at Moran. He's been there for some years, and has always been very obliging.

Let us know how it works out.
