I started to post here and realized it was the wrong thread. Sorry.
It also might be a good idea to learn how to spell the word professional, as well.
This is merely a kind word of advice. People can be turned off by this. If I see someone who is obviously...
Yikes, I made that in the early '80s as an LVN. No way, now HOW would I be able to live on that now in the area where I am. Median cost of homes is in the $700,000s. So, it doesn't look like for all...
I guess I wasn't aware that this was a "professionals-only" forum. When I first came here, I saw several posts and queries from consumers. Still do. So, naturally I thought this was a "mixed...
It might be a good idea for the professionals to have a Yahoogroup list...membership only. Not a public forum. If someone wants to join, they have to write the moderator and more or less "prove"...
I wasn't asking you to diagnose anything, Cindy. I was merely curious about the B measurement of a frame in relation to being fitted with an Ellipse short corrider lens. I fully intend to have my...
And, I intend to have the optician do all the necessary measurements tomorrow. As he told me over the phone when I called to ask about this particular frame, "What I need is your face". :) And,...
Bobie,
I see where you said the frame height can be 22mm with an Ellipse. I just read here where one person wouldn't go below 26mm. So, which is it? :confused: I'm looking at a frame that is...
Hi Cindy,
Can you tell me what the B measurement size is on the frame that you have your Ellipse in? I'm looking at a nice frame with a 25 measurement.
Thank you! I'm happy that the Ellipse...
Thank you for your response, Tneyedoc. Darn. I was able to locate another frame from the same line I liked even more. It measures 25 mm. That's only 1 mm less than what you recommend for a minimum....
I finally found a frame I liked and wouldn't you know that the B measurement is only 24.4. That's on a 48-17-135 frame that fits my face well. I love these frames! Well-constructed, too. I tried the...
I would like to know this, too. I was all set to get Varilux Ellipse since I've worn Varilux for the past 10 years. Today, however, a local optician told me he swears by Hoya CD. He really likes the...
LOL. I think you've got an excellent point about the correlation between adaption and decreasing hormone levels.
When you say "rigid" do you mean the Gas Permeable? In other words, not the actual...
I've heard mixed reviews about those, Chip. Also, I'm beginning to wonder if my eyes are just too dry now to wear HGP contacts. I've never worn soft lenses except for once. An optometrist who was...
I first wore hard and then Gas Permeables since '69 with no problem...but as soon as I became presbyopic around age 43, I found it annoying to be wearing distance CLs. Not only that, my eyes are...
Jim,
Interesting. I happen to have an Add of +2.50, but I also am ready to have narrower frames now. I have worn a Comfort lense with a 19 seg. height in a larger frame for the past 7 years and...
Good point, Lady Nicole. I know that ShyIris was feeling that way about the optical professionals she has seen in person, hence the need to come here with questions.
I tend to agree with John. I'm one of those consumers who likes to be educated and have some knowledge when I go into an optical shop. This board is a tremendous help for that....most of the time!...
Sorry to be so boring, Shellrob.:cry: As you noticed, I haven't posted in a couple days or more. I think most of my questions have been answered and I thank you for that. My optician's assistant...
I'm also curious as to what consitutes someone "pulling your leg"? So far, I've seen more than a few replies to those of us who merely have questions and want to be educated that have implied that...
I like your positive attitude, Mirage.
And, how long might that be, Chris? I often see threads going off on tangents and there might be a pertinent query in there that gets missed because the same thread subject is still up there. So,...
I think your FAQ idea is a good one, John. But, like you said, it might be an impossible task.
Actually, hcjilson, I don't believe either one of these two opticians would give me bad advice. Maybe different advice, like you said. But I doubt it would be bad. Now then, there are plenty of other...
Thank you, Harry. I have it narrowed down to two experienced and competent opticians. I appreciate both of them for their honesty and ability to stick with what they believe in.
The other guy is...
