Hi: Try googling "Hookupz" on Amazon. No... it's not that!
It's a spring clamp gadget that works great for under $60.00.

If "Fat Tony" doesn't work out, check out http://www.americanprofit.net. We're happy with them.

Perfect timing for this thread. We just took a scuba mask order for a -11.00 (with some cyl), and we will be compensating for vertex.
My question is: this patient has AR on all of her eyeglasses....

NYS Society of Opticians Gala is coming up in May at the Turning Stone Casino Resort. Check out www.nysso.org

If your profit can only be achieved by adding on "creative" fees, don't you think you should consider dropping Eyemed,VSP, Spectera, etc?

Outstanding!

Thankfully, my patient is NOT a beast, but she, and I appreciate the replies. I think one of the Pro Designs may be it.
Thanks.

Hi all:
Can anyone identify this frame (in a sideways photo...sorry) worn by MARY MCDONNELL on "The Closer".

Hi all:
Can anyone recommend a supplier for mirror-coated plano lenses (CR-39, Poly, Polarized or non). We'd like small quantities - a few pair at a time.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone suggest a supplier for super thin men's wire frames? Our patient loved his OLD very thin semi-rimless rectangles... no idea who made it.
Thanks all.

Hi all:
Does anyone know of a US distributor for Scopz Shooting Glasses? ... Used to be through Zeiss but it is no longer listed in their website.
Thanks much.

Another vote for ABB. Stu Gleich has been great to deal with there.

Hi Dick:
Good advice: I did and may have found a local shop that will try it... for $35.00.
Thank you.

I'll just put steel weights on the frame.

Thanks much for the response.

Rich.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did contact them. They used to do it but stopped because thay couldn't get consistant results with all the different frame metals out there. BTW they'e in Beverly...

Hi all:
Does anyone know where I can get a metal frame painted blue (either powder-coat or electrostatic painting)?
Years ago a couple of companies did our Porsche sunglasses but they've all...

I vote: TICO LINE: Used to be imported by Pro Design (probably 7-10 years ago). Semi-rimless titanium with the coiled hinges, and threaded nylon screws. I don't think anyone is importing them into...

Hi:
Does anyone know a source for "All Sport" brand racquet sport goggles? My patient wants to duplicate an old pair... they look much better than Rec Specs.
Thanks.

Dear Fellow Optiboarders:

Here is a little plug for the New York State Society of Opticians.

We'd like to invite all opticians to attend the NY State Society of Opticians Annual Conference and...

Hi Chip:
Thanks for the reply. I know that is true for VSP, but I'm hoping we can get on Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, GHI, United HealthCare, etc.

Hi all:
Our office is optician-owned but we employ optometrists. We've been trying to get listed on insurance panels (NOT vision plans like VSP, eyemed, etc.) to accept major medical plans for the...

This is another argument to permit opticians (with advanced education) to refract. We would certainly be more accurate than a person using the DYI approach in front of a drugstore rack.

When Logo was getting popular they ran a few workshops. Their technique works every time.
Attach the cord nasally. Hold the lens in place and pull the cord around to the temporal side and hold it...

Reuters announced the deal about 2 hours ago. Luxottica bought Oakley for $2.1 billion (all cash!)

They do keep things interesting... don't they?
