Hello Fabulous OptiBoarders!
It's been a while since I've been here...Great memories!
I am trying to find the Optics Lite program by Darryl. Is this still available? Hoping to share with my...
John,
You are Awesome.
If you have any left, I would like to keep one in our optical department library, for our students to use...not to take out (to risky for loss), but to use in our...
It is hard to believe Darryl is no longer with us here on earth.
When I met him approx. 15 years ago, while he was at SOLA, I could not believe such a humble young man with such a sweet smile...
John,
I have not been on here for a while, and popped in to see that it is your birthday!! Thanks for posting Fezz!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Call me when you are in NY!!
: )
Hi Jacqui,
Please PM me with your friend's info if they would like more information about the opticianry schools in Florida. Tampa is approximately one hour away, depending on 'which side of...
My understanding is that they throw in several 'trial-questions', the psychometricians then do the statistics on which questions stay, which questions get thrown-out... that is why it takes longer...
PS:
If you are thinking about a 'full-frame' wood frame, front and temples of wood...I would consider finding a way to have adjustable nosepades in the bridge...like the imbeded ones in zyls. ...
Wood eyewear is very cool.
Rimless works well (metal/alloy bridge and endpieces) and wood temples, preferably with a metal/covered in plastic earpiece area for best adjustments.
I've worked...
Warren,
I must give you credit my friend. You keep on keeping on, your message never changes. You are gracious and generous to even respond to some of the stuff written here.
As many of you...
If I were a patient, and I could tell that my doctor was sick but came in to examine me anyway, I would be furious.
Come on! Aren't we in the health care profession?
About Distance Education:
(Thanks CC for prompting me to jump in, I should have jumped in sooner)... We are gearing up for final exams, and I am on the Internet with my students more than ever....
Totally agree with you Barry.
Working at Lugene Opticians was amazing training. As far as the education piece goes, it is not the whole, but a must have. As manager of Lugene I had to fire 2...
Wes, Thanks for starting this thread. I think you opened eyes in regard to how it works.
It will be great to see how the summit goes, I am extremely optimistic.
Just yesterday a student...
Craig,
You don't need my help, you are pretty awesome on your own! Thank you for your kind words, and for the other opti-friends for chiming in.
My strategy for those who only gripe without...
sigh....
We will be successful with or without positive opinions/vibes from the gallery. Fezz, while I think you are nice guy and a great optician, you think it is BS because YOU were not...
Hi Fezz(y),
Yes, the SAO has been invited, we are having a conference call to talk about sending a representative. I am unable to attend as it is our final exam week, which I cannot miss.
As...
PS:
What WFRuit is referring to (I think) is 'Freeframe Technology', where they dynamically place the near zone, and 'build it out from there', so patients can have a bigger choice of frames with...
More on Variable/Vs./Fixed:
Now that large frames are back in style, we are discovering that if a patient moves from a short 'B' design, regardless if they wore a fixed or variable, had a similar...
It doesn't make sense to me to legally require a PD on an Rx...Most doctors do not measure PD's prior to the refraction part of the exam, they simply dial the opening until they can see the patients...
I'll be there,
Packing my dancing shoes.
: )
Wes,
Did you just call me to the front desk?
I think all of us have the same goal, we paint the picture differently, but it is the same objective.
There is no doubt that 20+ years ago, an...
Warren, Roy, Gary, Wes, Johns, KCount, and others:
Thank you so much for your input.
Ted, please visit: www.advanceopticianry.org The Society to Advance Opticianry website...
It's...
Rest in Peace Dr. Borish,
He was an amazing man, 'the book', Clinical Refraction (Volumes 1 and 2) is a valuable resource and his seminars were inspiring. He was also named 'Optometrist of the...
Hi ge2007,
Welcome to Optiboard!
Think of a bifocal segment, regardless of the style, as a small plus lens (prisms attached base-to-base) at the bottom of the lens. At the slight second...
