Sometimes I need special optics and filters. But often they need to be mounted into a frame or filter mount to fit my special lenses. Asking an optical company is often very expensive and they may not even be interested, as it is often just for single units. So what to do then? Ask your optometrist!! I have a super good one here, who has always been very helpful, even cutting and precision grinding filter glass or diopter lenses into the special size I need!

My optometrist is https://flair-optik-gastell.de/ and I have always been very happy with him. He even proposed to use special UV cutting coatings (>420nm transmitting) on my glasses, as I work a lot with strong UV LED lights and since then no burning eyes anymore!

Why didn't I think of that?
I have a number of special filters as bare 25mm discs. I have managed to cobble together a holder for them - but I've only got one & can't find the right fittings for more. Changing filter discs in this holder is a bit awkward out in the field, so better options are very welcome!
