In my 23 years in practice I've found that there are some people that just aren't comfortable with anything that's new. We've made lenses in the same Rx with everything exactly the same in the same...

In my 23 years in practice I've found that there are some people that just aren't comfortable with anything that's new. We've made lenses in the same Rx with everything exactly the same in the same...
The majority of post op compaints my patients have are from multifocal IOLs and the newer accommodation IOLs. They have small optic zones and do create some glare and halos in those with larger...
Sounds like you have a good case of dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction
Daisy, glad you made the choice to get the PALs. IMO if my patient is symptomatic and it is bothering them then it is time to discuss PALs. There is no justification for Rxing a bifocal just...
For optometrist office in Dunedin Florida. Must be of high moral character, energetic, and dependable. Part time or full time. Good knowledge of sales and able to do lab work with patternless edger....
The only thing you did wrong doc was to not charge a fair fee for your time. $15 is an insult to you and your profession. I would have charged my usual fee of $59 for a 15 min slot, more if it was...
At a recent lecture on asset protection the speaker, who use to sue doctors, was asked about informed consents and registered letters. He said he didn't think it made a big difference. Most...
I think this is misleading in the same way I could say a car body is made of steel and painted with enamel paint. That doesn't mean that a BMW and a Kia car body is of equal quality or the paint job...
Every situation is different. Most of the time when people have the type of problem outlined in the original post it is adaptive. The fact that she had not had an Rx change in 10 years and she...
My practice is heavy in geriatrics and my recommendations do not stray far from what I would recommend to my other patients.
Lightweight frames, preferably titanium. Lightweight and...
I don't know about you, but this just makes me cringe.
"and if I change my mind you have to let me bring them back"
TR, I like your approach and try to use it most times. Sometimes we are in a position of having to refund to satisfy a difficult patient. This happens very infrequently but sometimes is the best...
We have not had any problems with older folks and the Silhouette thin titanium frames. They really benefit from the ultra light frame. No more frames sliding down their nose or sore red marks on the...
:idea: Maybe we should take a lesson from Starbucks and put a tip jar on the counter:D
Same policy we use. It just isn't worth having to deal with an unreasonable person and the ones that make unreasonable request for refunds are just that. It doesn't happen often but we all leave...
Maybe people who buy cheap stuff online are less likely to complain or return the item
Some medical plans have a carve out vision plan but they are not the same. I would assume BCBS is the medical plan. Vision plans usually pay for 1 routine eye exam and will often have benifits for...
Just a note, the personal service and warranty given for a $149 pair of glasses in you local office far exceeds the warranty and personal service given for a car that can cost $30,000 or more. Go...
I belong to a coding web service. The question of discounts came up. The majority of ophthalmology offices gave discounts without hesitation and thought nothing was wrong with doing it. The optometry...
I advice daily disp. lenses to all patients that can wear them. My wife and daughter both wear them and I feel they are the healthiest lens choice. Clinically this is the only group of patients...
Toxic amblyopia from tobacco, alcohol or nutritional deficiency can cause a bilateral loss of vision. This is really a toxic optic neuritis
I agree.
We use poly at least 90% of the time. I recommend it in the exam room and I wear it myself. What other product offers so many benefits. Thin, light, blocks UV, safe and affordable. I feel...
I think a main point is that Cindy indicated in her initial post that she was symptomatic and having eye strain. Since she works 8-10 hrs a day at the computer it seemed obvious that this is part of...
Cindy due to the fact that you are symptomatic and you are at the computer 8-10 hours a day I would suggest a SV low plus lens to be determined by your working distance and accommodative test. As Drk...
Cindy,
How far away is the computer monitor and even though it is not nice:finger: to ask a girl what her age is, it is relevant to your question, so how old are you?
