Yes it is Acuity. Our customers who dispense Silhouette love Acuity's Freeform line as a secondary, more value-oriented option. Acuity also has a new titanium grooved option. Check them out at...
I'll add another vote for Freeform Eyewear. Our lab has been supplying them for over a year with excellent results. B-Titanium with compression mounts and packaged with AR coated lenses at an...

The independent member labs of Global Optics can offer you a great training program called Jumpstart http://www.jumpstartyouroffice.com/

Harry, I think there is really only one lens manufacturer that has recommended fitting heights that promote 85% of the add. Most offer minimum heights that will achieve the full add power.

At Encore Optics we stock both drilled rimless (www.freeformeyewear.com) as well as a several standard frame lines to cover all price points. We package each line with all of our available lens...
Ah yes, I can see it now ... The Nonadaptar.
Kansas,
We're a lab currently planning a 'educational event' in our area. We're holding at a local banquet facility (but hotels work well too) that's close enough to our lab to offer lab tours on...
I have gone to Nicaragua with VOSH for the last 2 years and will go again in '07.
MLM, Some of the TWECs team has joined us in the past and will be with us again in January - What a Great Crew!
Foster Grant (FGX) is releasing a new line of AR coated higher-end readers that will be available only to the independent market. I got a preview of these last month and they are worth taking a look...
Thank you Robert ... A perfect example of the tail wagging the dog. In Europe the Liberty is marketed as a low-cost alternative.
As a rep for a lab that supplies frames I'd like to hear more ...
If your lab could supply you with a frame that met your quality & style standards at a price you considered equitable would that...
Just curious ... why are you no longer using Essilor?
Dottie
Thanks. The price list I have wasn't clear about the policies.
Has anyone else had any experience with a change in ELOA Dr Change policies? Just curious.
We're already delivering on orders of our Flexit line of frames by Capri Optics. They're awesome. And no backorders!
Dottie
Processing drilled rimless jobs can also be difficult for labs when we recieve frames without all the sleeves and posts. Each frame manufacturer's is a little bit different and the often we have to...

Interestingly I ran into this same problem about a year ago with one of my accounts. He was unable to get 1.66 FTs from his lab, but we were able to deliver them in 2 days as a member lab of...
I'm looking for a lens demonstration unit that I've seen, but can't remember where. It's a small, simple metal stand that holds several lorgnettes. Has anyone seen it?
Or, if not - Do you have...
I saw a Colt's laboratory study a few years back that stated (if I remember correctly) that until you get to -4D or so, the average patient won't be affected by the chromatic abberation of a low ABBE...
You guys just gave me the best laugh I had all day!
