Attention: Mike
You still do kids glass's I have heard several members talk about shades for the kids.
I remember you used to have some kind of youth glass's program/discounts.
I do. Place your order on-line and choose a kids frame, soft glass filters will be free, borosilicate filters will be 50% off. But only for the children's sized frames!!!
(n/m, saw you can in the boro lenses - was looking at soft glass lenses and didn't see anything about it)Quote:
Can you do prescription lenses?
Yep, we can in all of our filters. No bifocals in the AGW series however.
If I send you some frames Mike ( Oakley Style ) can you do splits in 2/3 shade 5 on top 1/3 shade 3 on bottom in rx ?
Can you pm me approx. price ?
Done.
Thanks Mike. Great price and fast response.
Putting my order in next week.
Thanks!!
So when I bought my glasses from whale they said these glasses come with a lifetime warranty... Lifetime warranties don't run out do they?
Who actually made the glasses that you bought? Wale hasn't sourced from us in probably 10+ years. I know they get some from Phillips, but I don't know where they are sourcing their other products.
Our warranty program is 5 years, and covers manufacturing defects in the lenses plus frame breakage: such as hinge springs breaking or frames cracking at the bridge. Any sports frame is covered under the manufacturers warranty from Hilco, and requires that you get the frame replaced from them. We don't cover maintenance items such as hinge or eyewire screws. We don't cover dropping your frames on the floor.
Here is the actual language:
Quote:
Aura Visual Concepts, Inc. will replace frames in the case of defects in materials or workmanship in the U.S.A. or Canada subject to the following conditions and limitations:Period of warranty: AUR® and AGW® branded products have a 5 year limited warranty.
If an individual frame within a category has been discontinued, Aura will replace the broken frames with a new frame from the same category. If an entire category has been discontinued, the purchaser may upgrade the frames and lenses to the replacement category for a $75.00 charge. Aura Visual Concepts, Inc. will replace any lenses which break due to frame defects. Prescription lenses may only be replaced in accordance with Aura Visual Concepts' Prescription Orders policy and are subject to our usual pricing for prescription lenses.
This warranty excludes damage from misuse, normal wear and tear, exposure to flying particles, and street wear. This warranty also excludes damage from significant impact in all models except for the Z87 safety frame series.
Eyewire and temple screws, nose pads, and other consumable products are not covered under this warranty. Each user is responsible for all daily maintenance of the eyewear.
Eyewear must be purchased from Aura Visual Concepts, Inc., or an authorized distributor to be covered under this warranty. Proof of purchase in the form of an invoice or charge slip must be provided to Aura Visual Concepts when presenting frames for replacement. Any eyewear presented without proof of purchase will be excluded from this warranty and the owner charged full retail price for all repair work.
All transportation and shipping costs and damage during shipping incurred while submitting parts for repair or replacement are the responsibility of the owner, and Aura Visual Concepts, Inc. will not pay for these costs and makes no warranties for damage that may occur during shipment.
Aura Visual Concepts, Inc. shall not be liable for personal injury, incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of this product, or arising out of any breach of this warranty.

THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
I have your standard metal frames and they popped in half at the nose piece. Just wear and tear. They are 6 years old so past warranty. Can you repair them for a fee. They were a 200 shade 5.
The 200 is a discontinued filter, we can change you over to a full coverage AGW-250 for $75, or to a split AGW-325 for $175.Quote:

Dom - When Hilco discontinued the Zoom goggle earlier this year, they took the goggle parts out of the distributor network and I'm unable to get them. I've heard from a couple of my customers that Hilco does have some parts left, nose pad sets and head straps available, I would try calling them first.
If you can't score from them, head over to a fabric store and buy some stock elastic strapping and cut to the length you need, stitch up the ends to form the loops needed to attach to the frame body and you are done. I couple of folks I know with huge dreads went this route when they couldn't get the stock strap to fit properly and it worked for them.
Good luck!
(and I checked to see if the replacement head cord for the new C2 goggle will fit, but it doesn't :bummed: )
This discount code still good for 10%off? Doesnt seem to be working

updated for this year. My apologies!!
Hi Mike I'm interested in getting a pair of your glasses after reading pages and pages of threads in these forms (did not expect to stay up this late researching glasses lol) their more expensive then I wanted but I like my eyesight I'm not sure which shade I want tho the 203,250,or 300 I've used Philips shade 3 and that was pretty good I'm using Diddys with flip down 3s I think I'm kinda new at this but I wanna get a new pair soon so yeah not really sure what I need but I don't want them to be too dark if possible but I want to make sure I'm protected. ThanksQuote:

If you want to stick with shade 3, choose the AGW-203. Note that my shade 3 is a true shade 3 and probably slightly darker than what you are used to.
The AGW-250 is also full coverage, and is available in shades 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8. We can do shade 10 on special order.
The AGW-300 has no shade per se, as it doesn't use a visible light filter. It uses a special "clear" IR filter that blocks all of the heat energy.
Thanks sounds like the 203s will be what I want appreciate the fast responseQuote:

Hey Mike so I've been looking at your glasses more and I can't decide what shade I need for what I'm doing I'm kinda new to glassblowing I've only used the Philips 3 and not my shitty 3 flip down will your 3 be enough to shield my eyes? Does 3 work good enough for color or would a 3/5 split be better? I'm just scared the 5 will be way to dark but I want to be protected also I'm look C2 frames and I see there is a medium and large and yeah idk which I need I saw there was some sort of measurement but I don't wear glasses normally so I'm not firmiliar with the sizes Thanks a lot for the helpQuote:

Regarding the 1/3 or 1/2 split, I think it depends on where you have your torch positioned. At first, I found that having a 1/2 split made me have to touch my chin to my chest to see through the top part, and it was uncomfortable. Then, I put my torch on a block to add height, and it fixed that problem and gave me better ergonomics overall.Quote:

Forgot to hit reply I kinda suck at this lol so yeah I have my torch up pretty high so I'm hoping the 1/2 will be nice do you have any advice for what shade I should get for clear and color boro work?Quote:

If you can position your torch so that it's easy to look through either half, I'd probably go with the AGW-325 on top (clear IR filter - no shade). It'll help you do detail work, read heat in colors that don't glow much (like clear), recognize colors, and navigate the studio. You'll have to be mindful to not look through it when you don't need to, though, and it can be difficult, since you'll naturally want to see better in the moment. Some people get fully shaded lenses (no split, just shade 5 or whatever) because they can't overcome their natural tendency to want to look over the shade.Quote:

I've used philips shade 3s, and 5s as well as the goggles which I think were a 3/5 split. The 3s seemed to light, and the 5s I think are 2 dark. I usually only work for a few hours at a time, and usually my eyes are very fatigued so I want to figure this out and get better glasses. I have been kinda thinking the shade 5s are making me strain to look at the glass, and that could be part of my issue.
Mike would it be a big deal to get a comparison picture of the shades next to each other. I didn't see anything like that on the website, and was thinking it might help people be able to decide which will be best for them. Maybe each of your glass shades and a philips shade 3 just for comparison since so many people have used them when they get started.
Our shade 3 is a true shade 3 welding filter with FULL IR filtration. As far as location of the split is concerned, yes, most folks order 1/3-2/3 however a fair number order the 50/50 as well. It just depends on how you personally work.Quote:

This is one reason why we developed the AGW-325 filter, it offers the "clear" IR filter on top and a welding shade (of your choice) on the bottom. You work your clear and/or colors until they begin to flare using the upper section, then switch to the lower section.Quote:

Thanks for addressing the question, I can totally understand your reasons.
thanks Mike! a couple months ago you did an awesome job making me split 3/5s in my fitover frames to wear over my glasses. They are working out great. You are the protector of eyeballs!! :twitch:
