Hey all,

Well I received a response from one lab. "...protocol would require 55 -2.00 lenses be test/ per group and the cost would be $778.00 per group." If other labs are similar, then I think...
Wes, that's awesome, thanks. The paper here deals with plastic lenses, whereas I would like to write one on polycarbonate lenses. I could see validity in doing Trivex as well, but poly I think...
I went through my old threads, because I know I've asked about this before (although it has been quite some time). When I've asked about the AR impact resistance idea, I've had a really positive...
I have a few months free from school work, so I'd like to either complete or make significant headway on my ABOM paper. Mainly I'm looking for potential obstacles in research or suggestions on...
Hey all. I have a young patient who wears the MX20 frame from Rec Specs for baseball, but at this time of the year in Florida they fog up quite a bit on him. Does anyone know of Rec Specs makes...
I'm looking to replace the temple tips on my girlfriend's vintage frames. They're an old Aluminum and gold American Optical frame. The temple tips are clear but are very worn and faded. Any ideas...
By difference do you mean between the A and B? If so, it is 10mm (48A, 38B).
You mentioned working there in the 60s - does that mean these are 60s vintage, or could they also have been 50s? I...
I have been looking at some 50's era eyewear online for about a month or so, and while I was away on an optical missions trip in Jamaica, I ran across a few frames from the period that were going to...
Thought I had someone, but it looks like it's falling through. I'm still looking for someone. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! The only problem is that I'm in a LC, so I don't get frame or lens reps.
If anyone local would like to pass on the number of a rep I could talk to, feel free to PM me.
Help me figure this out - I'm in Jacksonville, FL; and in the most popular high end mall we have. I need an optician, but I don't know how to get the word out. I've had over a hundred hits on the...
Hey guys,
My LC is looking for a new optician. We had three, but one got promoted to a GM position at another LC. We have a lot of flexibility for a new hire (full time or part time, all on...
Your reply should have been, 'Not on the Sabbath.'
Since my Rx hasn't changed much in the past fifteen years, I have amassed a small collection of glasses that I rotate among. Does anyone know of a good quality display/rack/holder that I could set...
So let's say I was to go for option 1 - the difference in impact resistance between AR coated poly/trivex vs regular poly/trivex. For the actual values of impact resistance (pounds per square inch I...
You know, I wasn't thinking of this being in other states. In the state of FL, glasses are considered a medical device, and thereby aren't taxed. I know that in other states, glasses are. Could...
I was in CE classes this past weekend, and the speaker was one of my teachers in opticianry school. In our CEs, a portion described the ABO Advanced exam, so he turned to me and asked about me...
I have run into a few instances where a HSA or FSA card will not work, and upon calling, find that the card company (VISA, MC, etc...) has put in a block to places that sell retail (non-Rx) items. ...
I was quoting someone else's post - My words are in red. I have lots of glasses from Costco (get plenty of compliments daily on my Mikli regular glasses and my MODO sunglasses. They are great...
Of course check with your particular situation, but I believe what they may mean is that cutting non authentic lenses for that frame, you may void any manufacturer warranty on the frame.
Thanks for all of the replies. I didn't realize I wasn't automatically 'subscribed' on the thread, and didn't realize until just now that there were replies. :)
I am a little leery of attempting...
I'll try - it's hard for me (a visual person) to type it out, so forgive me if I can't convey it the way I would if we were in person...
(Barry knows the background stuff, but for anyone looking...
This is just for fun...
"My practice does an almost ridiculously compulsive refractive exam which involves automated refraction, phorometry manifest and trial framing (on every single patient). I...
I have to say that I have a little issue with the way you approach this. I mean this 100% respectfully, but I wanted to touch on what you've written a little. My point of perspective - I ran a high...
