When people or businesses treat you right, I feel like they should get credit. If you don’t want to hear about some business I like, stop reading this post now.
Probably this is more interesting when I talk about software tools than businesses, but it’s the same compulsion.
I just had #CataractSurgery. That means new #Glasses. I ordered specialized sports glasses from a place called TacticalRX. It’s a veteran-owned, family-run business that grinds their own lenses. That means they can do things no one else will do: when they make multi-focal lenses, they can flip the top and bottom prescriptions or **not** use your reader strength as the close-up number. Oh, and yeah, I need prescription lenses; but these guys make non-correcting glasses as well.
My new vision is three zones now: close up requires correction; computer screen distance is perfect; distance requires correction. So in my car, I don’t need correction to see the console, and I don’t need to see my watch or my phone at all. Distance correction on top and no correction at all on the bottom would work perfectly for this scenario (and a smaller than usual bottom zone, plus bifocals-with-a-line to preserve peripheral vision instead of progressives). These guys can do it. No one else will even try. They specialize in glasses for various sports and professions, e.g., EMTs was one of the examples. (They show a lot of shooting glasses up front on the website — I think because shooters always have to have glasses maybe; but whatever sport, profession, or scenario you care about, they can do.)
On top of their technical capabilities, they just plain treated me like I mattered. These are good people who **want** me to end up satisfied. They didn’t ask me to spread the word. I’m doing it because they deserve it.

They’re in Denver, CO. I’ve been on the phone with them many times and have usually spoken to either Alex or James. I can’t remember about James; but Alex for sure owns a dog.
