@Alex is there an equivalent in mobile?

[goosehd]

@pechelman Click or hover over the [Left Arrow @ Alex] and it should work. Works for me on mobile.

@pechelman jumping in here as I’ve wanted to know this for a while and stumbled across the answer today. The link to the previous post appears if you turn your phone to landscape orientation (at least it does for me).

[pechelman]

I don't seem to have that. Feel free to move my couple of posts to the forum problems thread too if you'd like.

[pechelman]

@ARNC thanks!!!
That did it. I too have struggled with this for a long time. So glad to know now.

[ARNC]

@pechelman same until a few hours ago!

Does anyone have experience swapping lenses? I've got 2 pair of Hemmings (one Rx'd and one not) and I want to swap lenses but I'm afraid of damaging them by pushing too hard. Does running them under warm water or a low setting on a blow dryer make them pliable enough?

[goosehd]

@Clint_D The optical shop I frequent makes it look easy with no issues. They put pressure on the lens with their thumbs while supporting the frame using their hands to pop the lens out.

I haven’t done it myself though…

[Kasi]

I wouldn’t possibly recommend doing them yourself, Opticians swap it over for me less hassle no headache.

They have some kind of heating machine. When mine was done.

[pechelman]

Jmm can be pretty tight to remove. Watch a video on how to do it but stop if you aren't comfortable doing it. Fwiw, I just had rx put in a pair and the lab broke the original etched jmm lens.

Having said that, I've popped lenses out without issue.

[Danimal506]

Does anyone know the average cost to swap Rx lenses in JMM frames?

[goosehd]

@Danimal506 Too many variables…prescription, coatings, manufacture, variable focus, etc. can affect your costs.

I just did a prescription and it was over $1000.

[pechelman]

100% on there being too many variables with lens type, your actual rx, coatings, and mostly the place you get it done at.
On the lowest end of the spectrum, expect to pay no less/more than about ~100$ from a mail order place.

For a mild Rx in CR39, single vision, one plain tint, AR coatings, no polarization, that kinda thing, from a shop you have a good relationship at, I'd say something in the 200$ region to be normal. Fwiw, I got another quote from my actual eyedoctor's optometrist and it was more than 2X that for the exact same thing AFTER insurance.
