at the optical location I am the doctor at, we charge the same for
polycarb and plastic lenses but we make a higher margin on polycarb so
the optical staff tends to over-recommend it. I don't know if lower
manufacturing costs are the cause of the higher margin on polycarb. or
not.
The three labs that I work with charge more for spherical polycarbonate than
they do for spherical front surface scratch resistant cr39. Just to be sure, I
pulled the price lists from a half a dozen other labs and they all show higher
prices for poly, some by as much as 50%. Are you in the US? Is your lab owned by
Essilor? (Essilor owns Gentex, a major supplier of poly blanks).
