I would like to recommend you try the Hoya Summit CD, it's the short corridor progressive (14mm min. fitting hgt) that is really easy to use and adapt to. I have a friend that could not wear any...

you are looking for the group called IDOC, Independent Doctors of Optometric Care, their web site is IDOC.net. You will find contact information on the web site. any other questions let me know

RT gave some great info on short corridor progressives. Until a short time ago we used Piccolo at a 16mm fitting height and it did do the job. But now that Hoya has the Summit CD, this is the short...

I am a Licensed Optician and now a rep for Hoya Labs. My first rep job was for a lens manufacturer, I was often asked by the opticians what my experience was........when I told them I was an LO they...

I would really like to refer back to my original question about whether anyone was using and the cost of the lenses??

I really didn't think this thread would go in this direction!! good info but...

Just curious if anyone has heard about the new coating from Sola, the Teflon, is it available, are you using it and what does it cost?

Chris,
Sorry I can't help with that info. I do work for a lab but am out in the field. I think that Phoenix and Trilogy would probably tint differently as they have different monomers added to the...

Chris,
Phoenix is tintable.........to dark sunglass colors. We have great success with it at our lab. The only product we are not tinting of Phoenix is the new FT28. But all other products, ECP,...

Thanks RT and you are right.......I was using a bad price compare when I knew he was talking retail......and out in the retail environment the Phoenix is priced higher than Poly but only by the...

don't get me wrong.......we sell a lot of Younger Image and it is a good design, just not as up to date as the new Hoya progressives.

m0002a,

you are not comparing apples to apples when you use the trilogy younger image against the Phoenix or 1.60 ECP. The newer technology of the ECP is far superior to the older design of the...

Phoenix ECP is $31.00 less than 1.60 ECP

First, let me say I am employed by a Hoya lab and I am also a licensed optician. That said.....Phoenix is available in two very good PAL designs, ECP & Hoya Wide. Hoya also has Phoenix in FT28,...

Phoenix product from Hoya is tintable to 80% sunglass colors!!!
Great alternative to poly.

Hi Optician,
I was also in your position several years ago....working as a licensed optician for 19yrs., knowing that there was more out there, completely burned out working with the public in...

Sorry PBS but the new lens is the Summit ECP, it has been out in Europe as the Summit PRO since last year, but bringing it to the US required a name change. The initial launch was at Vision Expo...

You are correct that Hoya does have a new progressive called Summit ECP. I also want to say that I work for a Hoya lab and got a pair last week. My first reaction was very good.........I do not...

Just wanted to put my own experience about Phoenix into the mix here............
I got my Phoenix Hoya Wide about 3 weeks ago..........and I have to say they are really fantastic!! My initial...

I think maybe I'm a little confused about your comment, I always thought that ABO/NCLE renewal could only be done with ABO/NCLE approved credits? I am in CT and the requirements here for license...

You might try the Hoya 1.60 or new Phoenix product in SV or Hoya Wide progressive, they both drill incredably well and rarely chip or crack. Seiko 1.67 is also drillable with few issues. The...

I was in an office today that had a sign posted that said,
"The patient is responsible for obtaining any referrals or information regarding your vision care insurance coverage.
We appreciate your...

SOCO is the Society of Connecticut Opticians, being newly formed as new opticians group in CT.

Jo,

Nice web site, when it's done it is going to be a good source of info. for opticians.

Give me your thoughts on the new organization that is forming, SOCO?? Did you get the letter? and the...

I remember that posting, but I am referring to the frame he had on this past monday night.............5/14......

That is the one...

Any help appreciated!!
Thanks
