Excerpts from Reuters quoting CBS News:

Glasses Made By Big Outlets Are Faulty -Report
   Wednesday October 29, 1997
   New York (Reuters) - Eyeglasses made at seven top optical
chain stores failed to meet basic standards set by the industry
for precision and workmanship in an unscientific [?] survey,
CBS News reported Wednesday. 
   A New York optometrist who helped write the industry's 
standards for glasses, after examining glasses made at the 
seven stores, said in the report that glasses made at all seven 
outlets flunked. 
   "Every one of them fails the industry requirements," said the 
optometrist, Robert Rosenberg of the State University of New York. 
   "This is as though you went to the drugstore and the pharmacist 
gave you the wrong pill. It may not kill you but the strength of 
it is such that it's not going to cure what ails you," he said on 
CBS News' This Morning, in the first of a two-part series. The 
second part will air Thursday. . . .
