Eyeglasses Optical

I was chasing some men's black to clear (crystal) coloured eyeglasses. Of a quality seen in the American Optical 1950s brand. I am chasing either deadstock / original frames or contemporary reproductions / similar styles.

Go on ebay, and put in a request for them, someone probably has a pair in a drawer.

Just a quick unboxing of my new Ray-Ban Wayfarer Glasses that I am using for optical uses. I know this is not tech but these glasses are pretty ...

I had pads on my eye glasses fall out after ski goggle removal. The optical shop took 5 minutes and put new pads in, cleaned my glasses, and gave them back to me. They said I didn't owe them anything. I feel absurdly greatful (not enough however to buy glasses from them - I get mine over the internet). Should I have offered a tip? What's the etiquette of such transactions? Thanks!

I do not think a tip was necessary. Just let them know how much you appreciate it. This is a fairly common "Good Will Gesture" by optical shops. Most of the time, they do not know that you are not there customer. Also, helping others with minor adjustments like that is a way to get new customers.

Binocular headband magnifier provides hands-free magnification and viewing for a variety of applications such as jewelry-making, watch-making, needlework, artwork, electronic inspection, book-reading, print inspection, and stamp-collecting
Can be worn over prescription or safety eyeglasses
A dioptric number and a magnification number are not the same thing. Diopter strength represents a specific magnification power (X). For example, a 5-diopter provides 2.5X magnification (at a distance of 8")

I need eyeglasses and I want to know if it will take a long time or a short time. If you've been there please right a review of it.

It depends on the individual store.
If your lenses are in stock and they have an optician on duty, you will have the glasses in an hour or less.
Call the location closest to you to find out if it's possible as most franchise stores do not have someone on hand at all times to cut the lenses.
Worked for one of their stores.

The lenses are ordered and come in a perfect circle. They then use a machine to grind them down in order to fit perfectly into the frame you picked out. They also take measurements of your pupils and make sure the focal point of the lenses will be in the right place for your eyes.
