Opticians (who fill prescriptions written by Optometrists and Opthamologists) don’t like to re-lens frames because they don’t make profit on the sale of a new frame.
Opa was both an Optometrist and an Optician…he taught us to grind lenses when we were adolescents. Back then lenses were glass, not plastic. He taught us that you never should re-lens a frame more than 2 years old. By then it would have become so mis-shapen and unable to hold proper shape very long. The patient loses the benefits of the new lenses when they are not aligned correctly because of a frame that’s out of ‘true.’
