I'm hoping someone here may shed some light (pardon the expression) on something I heard the other day.
Patient comes in & while discussing coatings, she said she had read some new information...
Yeah, we got "hit" by the Mystery Shopper too last week, also right before closing time. Maybe they figure we're all so eager to go home we won't bother mentioning all the lens options we would...
Why not broaden the subject so it would relate to ABO & NCLE on a more general basis? Maybe something like "key issues in ADA compliance in an ophthalmic practice &/or optical store". Having worked...
I have 2 textbooks for sale:
Fitting Guide for Rigid & Soft Contact Lenses, by Stein/Slatt/Stein, 3rd edition
(used, some highlighting, etc. but excellent condition)
&
Clinical Anatomy of...
Among license states in the U.S., does anyone know of a listing of which states accept licenses from other states as valid?
Is this something the NAO or OAA might have or would you have to contact...
Has anybody encountered this one? I saw an ad or TV commercial for it somewhere & met someone who had actually ordered it "on approval" by mail order. She showed me the "instruction manual" & I had a...
Do the UK criteria for DO apply to other Commonwealth countries & former colonies as well? Anybody know about DO criteria for Canada, Zimbabwe, or New Zealand?
a "light therapist"? now that one takes the cake! why doncha just tell her, hey we have special lenses just for your profession...
Probably the weirdest experience I had was a woman kept calling...
Hello kgcopley,
Saw your posting here on Optiboard looking for an optician.
Funny how your criteria seems to describe so much of what I am about--especially the service ethic and being a real...
From what I understand, the scratch resistance of the lens is only as good as the last coating applied. Since AR goes on last, its quality will naturally affect the quality of the scratch coating.

BobV,
Try the System for Ophthalmic Dispensing textbook by Brooks & Borish. There's a bunch of useful phrases in the back of the book.
wmcdonald,
yep, your points are right on the mark...or should I say, the fitting cross? ...all it takes is a brain...
however, the downloadable ANSI document is $48, not $10.
Big difference...
does the 1999 wording affect changes in cyl tolerances also?
and what about unwanted-prism tolerances? I've heard tell that now they tolerate 1/2 a prism diopter for vertical imbalance rather than...
:D eyeguy--
Thanks, that was fast! Just what the doctor (woops, I mean LDO) ordered!
as far as I know, ANSI p.d. tolerances are plus or minus 2.5 mm for both distance & near. I believe horizontal prism tolerance is 2/3 prism diopter & vertical tolerance is 1/3 prism diopter--but I...
Does anybody know the official latest ANSI tolerances for sphere & cyl powers? I'm about to take my state license exam & I seem to have conflicting info about which is the latest version (1987? 1995?...
As far as I'm concerned, the best food chain is the one you're on top of.

Glad to see an ongoing discussion on the latest PAL's; lens designs are changing even as we "speak." Some people swear by one lens or another. I think it is very subjective from the px's point of...
:eek:
Does anybody have a used copy of a recent edition of The Contact Lens Manual by Gasson, et al? I'm a starving student preparing for the license exam in June & it's about $70 new!
Any...
Hi,
I'm a 2nd-year opticianry student in Seattle, WA & planning to move to Albuquerque after I graduate. Anyone out there have any info on the job market there & a ballpark-figure starting wage? (I...
