Report
Murray did a great job with two pairs of glasses. He carefully guided me in the selection of lenses that met my needs - including close up reading of fine detail, computer use and all purpose distance use. The result is the most useful/best fit combination of glasses I've ever had. His craftsmanship is superb too and he has a great range of frames.
