I have an edger that is way too old and simply can't work with modern lenses (Briot Scanform 5000S). I simply don't use it since the edger can sometimes go crazy and just eats lenses. Basically, I...
I don't know if this is just me, but I have been having a really hard year with labs. I've used the top 3 indie (Walman, DEL, Luzerne) they all have their plusses and minuses. I'm looking for a lab...
I have to second that. I still owe you a pint. Maybe next Vision Expo East if you have any time, Harry.
what book are you using? I would like to take the exam, but will probably get around to it by next vision expo east.
The lab keeps sending me a pair of +4.50 SPH OU. with what I can only describe as massive amounts of distortion. The kicker is that it's barrel-like distortion. I have tried the Seiko 1.67 and...
Posting an opinion where everyone's opinion is equal, only demonstrates there is a debate where there isn't one. In other words, eye care related topics are the domain of the Os not John Q Public. A...

It is both hilarious and infuriating
17. What are the lenses made of?
We use lightweight CR39 polycarbonate plastic lenses.
I didn't...
That's awesome. It's great to see some OD's support this. Ultimately it benefits everybody: Patients, OMDs/ODs and opticians. My fiance is an optometrist and she also supports licensure for opticians.
The Marco 101 is pretty good. The prism dial is nice but it still isn't a model 70. I'm not too partial to the Topcons for some reason. They aren't bad, but just remember having issues with a...
In my case, I can't get CE for my state at the conference or I'd go. Las Vegas would be a great place for such a conference since it can be used as a vacation spot too
Mods, I just realized that I need another category of "None" for those who do not belong to any organization.
I would like to know what organizations all of you (opticians) belong to. Also, if possible, state a reason as to why or why not you belong to it.
Honestly, having thicker skin would help too. These topics are "controversial" and therefore have a certain measure of antagonism inherent in them. I think being as diplomatic as possible and...
I do have to disagree with you a little bit. Doctors (ODs and OMDs)will pony up if you can show that you can generate more cash than if you weren't there. Occasionally you will meet people who are...
Well, it has to do with the area too. Keep in mind that most of NJ is a suburb of NYC :)
I make 27 an hour with benefits. NJ Licensed. This is about average, but for the area I work in, it's good.
While I signed this a few weeks ago, I don't know if everyone is aware that you don't have to be a member of the state to sign the petition. We got a long way to go to reach 5000 names. Tell your...

I actually do not have a problem with this. The only caveat I would like to add is that if there were anything surgery related, like cataract surgery or even lasik, they be under the guidance of an...
I think optometrists are generally well educated. The education has been expanding into new areas. In NJ, ODs can now prescribe oral medication. I know what ODs have to go through because I saw what...
I can understand that the post may be biased, but there really isn't any need to start calling people names. Anyone who knows Harry knows he is an asset to any practice or optical. Believe me when I...
I love Shamir! I am truly impressed by their lenses. I am doing the same; trouble patients, or new progressive wearers I fit them into Shamir.
Are you referring to the painting by Tiziano Vecelli? The painting is considered a religious work of art. It was painted in 1550. Although I like the artwork, I think the ad doesn't really sell me on...
A state society can't "force" anyone to do anything. All it can do is file a complaint against you with the State Board. If you aren't doing anything illegal, they don't have a leg to stand on. Is...
