New Product Round-Up
A flurry of new lens products have come available in the last month. Here are a few that may be of interest:
X-Cel Optical now offers Trivex product under the brand name Aris. Aris is available in Freedom ID progressive, FSV, SFSV, D-28, and 7×28, in clear, Transitions, NXT sunwear, and NXT photochromics. See the X-Cel website for complete availability.
Drivewear from Younger Optics is now available and in-stock, in SV polycarbonate. While I’m quite sure of the significance, you can watch the “trailer” here.- Zeiss GT2 is available in plastic polarized gray.
- Also of note: Laramy-K Optical can now order FT-35 and 7×28 in 1.6.

The Value of Free
What happens when you offer something real for free?
People ignore it, even scoff at it.
That is, until they understand its value.
Then you may end up with a kind of loyalty money can’t buy.
And of course, the more you give, the more you get.
