Haha so true.
Thanks Robert for the insight. I sincerely appreciate the honest answer. As you know, some of our fellow opticians aren't necessarily the most patient and understanding of people when dealing with a...
Thank you, I will definitely contact my lab and ask that question. I do know that 'lifestyle' poly is crap!
I really appreciate the answer! As you know, I am just an apprentice but in no way means that I don't know some of things. I usually fit patients into hi index lenses, normally 1.67. I like 1.74, I...
Thank you!
I appreciate that Robert. I would like to consider myself pretty knowledgeable of lense materials and do quite well with dispensing. I have just never heard of something like this before
Why shouldn't we be using poly?
Im still an apprentice, enlighten me....,
Actually, this was the first time this particular patient was fit with poly lenses. She has sworn CR39 for her previous three pair but, all of those frames were either full rimmed or Zyl. I felt the...
Hello my fellow Optii, I'm an LDOA in Ga and recently, I had a complain that she was not able see clear out here glasses. The Rx was modest, -.25 with some cyl on both eyes, single vision. I verified...
hey fvc, one thung that i have noticed in my experience when measuring PAL's is that with digital lenses (confort enhanced, varilux s, physio enhanced) is that if i measure directly the below the...
Has anyone fitted their patients with the new Varilux S lense? If so, what sort of feedback was rendered in comparison to other "free form" lenses available?
I have noticed that aswell with alot of my patients. I explain to them that no matter what type of "transition" lense you chose, it will never take the place or offer the benefit of a true polarized...
I agree 100%
Of course I am going to be little bias in responding but I believe that in any respective field there are going to be new hires that have absolutely no experience. Even in the event that they do,...
Good Morning,
This morning a patient came into the office after having routine eye exam. Her final RX was OD:-4.75 -1.00 x 150 /OS: -6.50 -1.00 x 180 ADD:+2.50. Now, in her previous pair, she was...
Another Question:
I know that Hi Index lenses are primarily used for patients with a high(-)RX. As stated before, at the chain, we were told to tell our patients that Hi Index lenses were the...
Diane,
Hi! I most definitely will! Like I explaining to Fezz, I am totally green when it comes to the technical side of optics, I want to learn as much as I can. Likewise aswell, I do hope that...
Fezz,
Thanks for the link! That site was definitely beneficial! Before I made the transition into the private practice, I was working for a ubiquitous optical chain (which I don't believe there...
Good Afternoon my fellow Optii
I am actually new to the "technical" side of optics. I am just now learning how to appropriately fit progressives styles according to lense depth. I just would like...
