• Frame front for kit (if applicable) - $ 33.00

Note: Current prescription & PD (pupilary distance) supplied by employee's doctor. Spectacle kit provide by you.

An individuals Rx: Please consider & review the distance in inches one would be expected to see clearly while using your SCBA equipment. Would the 20 to 40 inch mid-range be adequate if conditions (smokey, fumes, etc.) were less than optimal? Reason is people can ask their optometrist for a single vision Rx designed for 20 - 40 inch mid-range sweet spot. Bifocal & no-line progressive lenses require more sophisticated measurements to work correctly in a SCBA enviroment.

Some of the kits supplied by SCBA manufacturers DO NOT include a front for mounting the lenses. If this is the case with your units, we provide a front for mounting into your kit. The cost for this front is $33.00. You can determine if this applies by examining your spectacle kits.

We have been providing this service for years and each department handles orders differently. To avoid problems on individual orders, please include a check for the exact amount shown on this price sheet. We also accept purchase orders and/or credit cards per our usual sales terms. In either case please include the employee's prescription.
