Looking for a opportunity to work in a high-tech, beautiful office providing quality eyewear with great service? Our growing private practice in the western suburbs of Chicago is looking for a...

We sell mostly One Step, their peroxide cleaner. Not much of Lite, their multipurpose cleaner. Like Johns said, it develops a following. Not gonna make or break the office, but it keeps pts who like...

Thanks for the help. Been traveling the last couple of days and could not get to the computer. I will ask the pt to bring in his telescopes to get some more specifics.

The general conversation...

We have a pt with telescopes who dropped the glasses and broke the lenses. The patient reports the telescopes are okay. Is it possible to remount the telescopes? Can you recommend a lab that works...

1) what types of frames? eg, value lines, core brands, fashion or designer? Might have better luck with less expensive frames, in basic shapes. More competition, but everyone needs those basic...

Stay away--all the above is true. We are dropping this plan, can't wait to be done with it. As said above, Provider support is bad, Provider reimbursement is even worse, the lab is horrible, and we...

Not just the newbies-We've spoken with two practicing ODs seeking advice on setting up their own practices recently. Both of course felt they "had" to take VSP. You should have seen the look on their...

Last week had one that turned out to be cat scratch fever.

Sometimes---when we are super busy with eyewear and CLs, the labs are backed up and have a bad QC bug going around, and the people want their "free glasses" to do everything and come the next day---I...

We have very few Rx's walk, and the few that do we usually aren't sad to see leave. I would guess that about 75% of our gls rx get eyewear from us that day (capture rate is much higher if we don't...

I can't tell exactly how the temples are attached, but if you go with 1.67 (or any material with a flat base curve) make sure the temples can be moved in--without distorting the bevel--to compensate...

We looked into this for a patient and quickly decided no. at first avasis would not send any fee info unless we signed up first--we politely declined. A month later a provider packet arrived with...

We use a Gateway EDI clearinghouse for all our medical insurance including medicare. simple to use, and we get paid in less than two weeks. cost is comperable to eyefinity, and if our number of...

If you are surviving w/o eyemed, I would suggest do not start taking it. There are better ways to grow a practice than to bend over and accept half your exam fee and half your material retail (on...

As people become more web savvy, it will become more important to have a website that shows why you are different from the other office down the street. People are becoming accustomed to finding out...

We are open black Friday, but closing Dec 24 and 25 to give everyone a long weekend (open til 1:00 on Saturdays) for a change. New Years Eve will be a shortened day, and closed New Years Day. We are...

We haven't had any more problems with Aspex than any other frame compnies. Like mentioned above, I think it has to do more with the rep. We had some problems with getting set up with the proper...

Most AR coats are supposed to be compatible with the lens. I usually recommend backside AR with DriveWear.

more info on the lens processing guidelines here

A material like 1.60 will help, as will careful frame selection, as mentioned above. I also like the Creation for hyperopes because of the larger base curve selection, which makes a flatter lens.

We have sold at least a dozen pairs, some in plano and some in Rx SV and PAL. All the feedback has been great. Most common comment was they loved the lens because they could where the lens all day,...

LMAO!

Another vote for XXL--great looking line. If the pt wants a less expensive, traditional frame shape (read: good ole double bar), Modern Optical has several inexpensive frames in the 64 or so eye...

Reps can bring you food?:hammer:

go ahead and refund the frame--the lenses are custom and cannot be returned. if it comes down to it to get rid of them, refund everything.

We just did a refund this morning for a pt who claimed...

I think we get the idea. If you read the thread, this is a different situation. Thanks for your help.
