I have been trying (disposable) contacts recently and have not found any that seem to be really clear. I have worn (disposable)contacts before(2 years ago) and never had any problems until now.They...
I'm sorry but checking prisms really confuses me. So if there is prescribed prism in the progressive lens, you center it as best you can and if it has 2D of BU prism, then the prism should be in the...
I know this will be hard to explain without demonstration, but is it possible to check the amount of prism in a progressive on a lensometer, and how do you do this? Also, I have heard of checking for...
Thank you all so much for your kind help! I will look into all of the possiblilities but am really intersted in the smart clip one because we sell a lot of those. I didn't even think of that....
Does anyone know of any metal frames that have the saddlebridge?(no nosepieces) in a sized A/48 or higher B/30 or deeper? I have a patient who would like to have a metal frame with no nosepieces and...
Thanks so much Shanbaum!!!! The book I was reading (one of my many new selections thanks to optiboard:) ) is Ophthalmic Dispensing by brooks and borrish. It does say "synonym Prism reference point"...
Hi guys/girls!!
I haven't given you all a stupid question lately so here goes. What is the difference between MRP and Optical center?!! I've just been looking at my new book and the definitions...
Have you gone to this place before for an exam? If you have they probably just increased the amount of the exam so that everyone would have it done(The guy who set ours up mentioned this as an option...
Have you always had polycarbonate lenses? Did you have problems with your last pair of glasses?
What kind of insurance do you have, is it for medical or vision?We have two machines that take photos, one is called the optomap which takes retinal images and the other is a non-mydriatic camera....
Thanks Chris!!! I was wondering when I'd hear from you. The frame did curve for the face wrap because I was told that all progressive wearers should have good face wrap to give them a wider viewing...
I don't have one for sale, but I just purchased one from Amazon.com at a really great price! They had a lot of other used ones price varying according to book conditions. Good Luck!!
Optomap
Does anyone rent this machine? If so, have you had any problems with it? What are your opinions.
Here's mine: Pain in the neck.
We have Eyeimaginations at our office and we use it when they are dilating, to explain cataract/yag laser/etc., and rx options at the frame table. I think it is a good idea for demonstrating...
Oh, Thanks for the advise guys! I will talk to dr about all of these options. :)
Shanbaum,

The frame is about four years old we made lenses only for it in 2002 with no problems. It looks in really good condition(considering how old it is) and has average paniscopic tilt and good face wrap....
Thank you for your advise! I didn't realise they could be bent. I did identify the lenses as The HI index adaptar and is the same lens used as last time. If the lens is warped and pt can see better...
Thanks for the advice! When I checked on the old lenses using the lens clock, the black numbers said three on old pr and 2.25 on new. The lab invoice said Base Curve 2.25? Am I looking at the wrong...

A refraction is what the dr. performs to check your prescription. It is the part of the exam where the dr. places the phoropter in front of you and changes the lenses (better one or two...) to get...
