Personally, I still find it hard to believe that men make the same as women in this business. I know men opticians in this area who have a wife and children. I can't imagine how they could support...

I have given up looking. Will just do the job myself. I would rather work twice as hard than have to drag someone around by the nose all day. We are really hurting here for real opticians. We...

Well, all I can tell you is from my own personal experience. Fifteen years ago, I went into my first progressive. It was something from Pearle. Seems like it was a Sola XL. Not sure.
In 1991, I...

Stephanie..........

I too am excited about your new venture. I feel like I know you through your posts. And I know that you are a real Optician who really cares. It is not just a job to you. ...

I recommend ordinary dishwashing liquid without moisturizers. No soft soaps. They all have lanolin in them. I also give them the cleaning cloth that comes with their lenses to use when they...

Every morning before I leave the house, I wash my AR lenses with Dawn dishwashing liquid and a very wet paper towel. The paper helps to remove the smudges and hairspray. I dry with another paper...

If you are interested in re-locating to the North Louisiana area, (Bossier City), home of 5 gambling riverboats, please email me.
I am desperately looking for an assistant dispenser who wants to...

Hi Stephanie!

Haven't heard from you in a while. Would you be working in the SAME place? Sounds like you have the SAME job with a DIFFERENT headache. Find out everything you can about this VSP...

Have you ever heard of using a food warmer? I bought a 6 pot food warmer from a restaurant supply house. Instead of HTF, I filled it with peanut oil. It takes about a hour of pre-heating to get...

Yesterday I sold a pair of Varilux Panamics with a frame...total sale 310.00. This was the second pair I did for this person, so I gave her a 15%discount on this pair. She called back today and...

I am looking for a frame display that stands on it's own base and rotates. Preferably one that would hold at least 100 frames. If you have something like this that you are not using and would...

P. S. I found a woman who has been working in a lab for 4 years. She wants to dispense. I think she will work out. We are so typical of a state without licensure and education nearby. We have to...

Thanks Mary Lou..........she is in Denver now and on her own. I gave her the leads you gave. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the good info......I have passed it on to her.
Now....I need an optician to replace her. Anyone want to work in Bossier City? We are hurting for real opticians in this area....

The optician who works with me just found out that she is moving to Denver in 2 weeks. Her husband was transferred. She needs a job there. Does anyone know any opticians who live in the Denver...

Tura's Escada line has a large one that fits great! Sorry I don't know the number, but it wouldn't be hard to find.

To Laura and Stephanie.....

I too, have gone through this. I realized it one day when I said out loud, "I hate people!" and "I especially hate people with eyes". I was dead serious. I had never...

Ya'll are so smart. I am really amazed at your wisdom!

Now, tell me if I'm wrong. You are saying that the South LOST the war? Well, bless my grits! That's not what Paw learned me!
I'm fixin...

Thanks, Steve! That was really fun. Today was certainly a record number for my clicking on Optiboard. I just couldn't wait to see what/who was next. I have laughed all day long. I just want to...

Am I in the TWILIGHT ZONE or what? I see where there have been 26 hits on this post. I have absolutely no idea what this person is talking about. Can someone please clue me in! Di822

Chip..........I tried boycotting China once. I had to give up shopping. :(

Bill......you might try having a sex change operation. If you were a female optician, you would probably be grateful for that $11.00.

Seriously, you need to get away from it for a while. ...

I need to talk to someone who has experience with 20/20 Vision Source. Also, who is familiar with a Briot Echo Scan edger?

Thanks....Di

Louisiana......all you have to do is show up for work every day.
ABO is a plus for the resume', but it won't get you another 50 cents a hour. Our bill for licensure just failed...again. We have...

I began in the optical industry after having major surgery. This was 1988. I had just gotten out of the hospital and was at the mall walking for exercise. I saw a sign in the window of a Pearle...
