Specialty Lenses

The more automated our world gets, the harder it is to find the specialty lenses you need to live the life you want. At Fluegge Optical, our expert lens makers take a great deal of pride in custom creating a unique optical solution to give you the best vision and the best-looking pair of lenses. We achieve this with uniquely made lens products cast and created for us that you can’t buy at other places.

Even before COVID, the professional optical community had difficulty finding a manufacturing optical lab that is capable or willing to make higher power and many other lenses. It has only gotten more challenging. We are proud to say that we never stopped supplying southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois with high-quality, precision high-power, high prism, and hard-to-find glass lenses.

We take a great deal of pride in solving what other labs and providers say is impossible. So if your lab or providers can’t get the lenses made that you need, please give us a call and we can discuss your options rather than discourage you about what can’t be done to get your best vision and a great-looking pair of eyeglasses. Dale Fluegge is committed to helping each customer have the very best experience possible.


Testimonials

We received a call from a near sighted knitter/quilter that wanted a lens that had her distance power on top and no power on the bottom because she likes how much better she sees without her glasses on. So we created what you see on this picture. This is not an unusual request so we thought we would show you what could be done. Give Dale Fluegge a call to discuss your situation. We would like to say yes to you as well.

I am acutely nearsighted, crafty, and like to watch TV while I knit, mend, embroider, darn. I have been dreaming of “reverse cheaters,” as I called them. Glasses that let me see far when looking ahead but had no near vision correction when I looked down. The eye doctor was stumped. The many many optical stores I called were stumped. Then FLUEGGE OPTICAL came to the rescue. They listened and told me I needed “Executive Bifocals (Ben Franklin lenses) with the top lense for distance and bottom lense blank or, simply absent.” Sure thing! They do Executive Bifocals every day! I sent them my prescription, and although they were on the far sude of the next state over, they had my new crafty glasses back to me in less than 48 hours! For an extremely reasonable price. They are perfect! I will be getting all of my glasses from FLUEGGE OPTICAL from now on.


Cataract surgery gave me 20/20 distance vision, but nobody told me I would completely lose my near and intermediate vision. When it turned out that I still needed prisms for near but not distant vision, I was told it wasn’t possible for one pair of glasses to provide both, and that I’d be stuck using multiple pairs of readers for the rest of my life. I’m so glad I refused to accept this and started looking around online for someone who could help me. The glasses that Dale Fluegge made for me are perfect, and I’d have been happy to pay several times what he charged. If you’ve been told that the glasses you need are impossible, you owe it to yourself to talk with Dale, who doesn’t know the meaning of the word. He is a true craftsman with a passion for serving those of us who have been left behind by companies who want the profits from churning out thousands of easy-to-make lenses a day. Truly, he is a modern-day miracle worker!
