Laramy-K Optical is a digital uncut and coating lab unlike any other. The only exclusively uncut lab in the country; we provide our customers with independent, high-end alternatives to corporate brands. Through craftsmanship, technology, and independent, innovative vendors like Younger, IOT, A&R, and Quantum Innovations we offer our customers the Integrity portfolio of freeform lenses and coatings. Made in the USA, the Integrity brand is not a generic house-brand, but is the absolute best available, designed to give the wearer that “wow!” experience.
In addition to the digital line, we still offer conventional surfacing, including glass. Maintaining traditional equipment gives our customers vastly more flexibility in their dispensing, particularly when it comes to more difficult prescriptions.

Anyone out there doing a lot of nut-and-bolt assemblies? Want to shoot a short video for us? Tips, tools, suggestions, do and don'ts, etc. Let us know
Hello Laramy, Interesting theme...Working with Semi and Full Rimless Eyewear...
I actually love semi-rimless for those harder on their glasses, as the nylon is almost always the first part to fail in a major "accident" and easy to repair, whereas the metal frames will snap a screw off of damage the barrel or one of the welds, making the repair much more complex and difficult. They definitely have their adjustment challenges and holding that adjustment for sure. And fully agree on the power ranges, much less limiting than many think, the wearer knows at a -8 that their lenses will be thick, its our job to find that shape that will compliment their face and carry the RX well.
As they say in the UK - "That's a fair cop." Great point on the cord being a replaceable failure. And heck if it's that bad you'll have them apart for bending back in shape anyway. Thanks For This ! John
I've been doing nut and bolt for 10 years now including some hi Rx cases where the customer insisted on using a frame with curvy demos with a Minus rx, and the frame wasn't too adjustable.
My experience is with tag Heuer, cartier, DG, silhouette, Lindberg, Tuscany, Dita, Mitsui, perry Ellis and many more.
My main gripe is finding lab staff who will do the job and love it.
I've been in the industry about 11 or 12 years now, so not super long, but when I started most of our drill mts were nut/bolt combos vs the bushings. I definitely preferred working with the nut/bolt combos as they were easier to work on, the new bushings seem the want to separate more easily and seem to me to be more difficult to get re-mounted.
Thanks for the video Really like rimless frames, but i have rather high rx (about -6,5) so not everyone is really making them with this power, i guess because they afraid of thickness. But i found a place which do at last. And it turns out quite nicely actually. With 1.67 lenses
My semi-rimless were sturdier than my rimless glasses. I had them for many years and only just replaced them because the AR coating turned white in the lenses. I found out they had plastic holding the lens in at the bottom when I accidentally left them in bed once and ended up sleeping on them. The lenses fell out, but I looked on the internet and found out how to put the lenses back in myself. I had to do that a couple other times as well. But they lasted for years. I could technically still have put new lenses in them. I just wanted a change. I still love your videos. I learn so much from them.
I have shot assembly videos, but they are for training so are detailed and long.
LOL Maybe I wrote that the wrong way - detailed and long is fine too. Drop me an email through the OpticianWorks website if you are willing to share them. We'll figure out a way of making them available. Thanks John
Where can I get my rimless progressive lenses replaced on the same pair of glasses? Oh without costing me an arm and a leg? I live near the Los Angeles area San Gabriel Valley. My original progressives were purchased online and they were perfect. I got anti glare anti scratch anti fog high end lenses with a second pair of blue light computer glasses online at (what once was called Glasses Unlimited.) Got both pairs under $100 without insurance copay! This was back in 2017. If I could find that optician again I would be In heaven. He was a true craftsman and I was pleased with the quality I just now replaced then online and I got a rimmed pair I am unhappy with. I want my old glasses with the correct lenses replaced. So I need a good referral on where to go.
Sorry. Laramy-K is not a price based lab so our customers would be at least an arm, in LA probably an arm and a leg + another body part. Maybe try online again? Zenni or Warby Parker and just buy another rimless frame from them. Heck the drill charge alone is going to be $60 or more these days! Your description would run close to a grand most places today.
