I have sat on my glasses many times and I don't need new lenses each time. Lenses are way stronger than any frames. If you don't scratch them - like if you sit on them with pants wearing keys in your back pocket - they're good to go on replacement frames
No. Just the ones.
Well, I have a pair of progressives with really expensive lenses (only one) and 2 pairs of cheap single-vision near glasses. But the one pair I need most - and care about the most - is the progressives.
Actually the shape isn't that simple. It's not a circle, it's an ellipse.
But regardless, you can't order lenses on plans, sadly. All lens cutters use edging machines that trace the contour of your frames and edge the lenses accordingly, because almost nobody orders lenses without frames. That's why I supply a model for a 3D-printed template to supply to the lens manufacturer in my Github. If they took STL files, it wouldn't be needed, but they don't.
Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions!
My pleasure 🙂
