What I was saying was that if my far distance IPD was 62mm.. they couldn't fabricate one that is 62mm.. the laboratory would always produce one that is not 62mm.. it could become 64mm or even 60mm.. this was due to the lens making machine moving while the lens were grinded. I actually talked to the fabricators themselves and they said there was always errors or tolerances because of the low cost of their machines. How do I know it's not 62mm.. because I independent tested it myself using a lensometer. Another thing. If you will let the optical store you ordered it from test it. They will always doctor the result and lying to you that it's 62mm when it was not. This is why I want to try online lens maker.. I couldn't travel far because I'm in a wheelchair. So online is my only option.. it could be an online fabricator in Germany or the United States. Does anyone know of such in the US? I can easily order one there and have it shipped to me quickly. I know freight forwarders in the US who can ship it in 3 days to me. I have prescription written and ready to present it any online store which I have searched for already for 10 years but not sure which made a good one with accurate IPD as ordered. Thank you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
