Our sister lab has a matrix machine that has not been used very much. This is just an inquiry to see if there is a market to sell this machine. If you are not familiar, it is a machine that allows...
Part of the problem may be the availability of the appropriate base curve.
Most of the mid and high index blanks will accomodate a strong minus rx, but manufacturers don't provide much for plus rx...
For a simple explanation to a new employee: The rx is determined by the difference between the front curve of the lens and the back curve. Some materials bend light better than others. Higher index...
It seems odd to me that eye glasses have to be soooo safe. Chances are that if you are hit by any object hard enough to actually break the lenses, you would probably have been injured had you not...
I work in a lab and am looking for feed back about the various types of progressive lenses. Can someone do a comparison for me on Solamax vs. Compact?
Are there different styles that you would...
This may or may not be a rip off. I speak from my own experience. For many years I suffered from headaches (almost daily). When the doctor finally prescribed prescription lenses for me, I thought...
We stock poly lenses.
From plano to +3.00, we use Fisher price. These make excellent looking glasses. The only problem is that these are not tintable for more than a VERY light shade. they are...
The most important thing you will ever have is your reputation.
When you calibrate for sizing everyday, does the dimension (A&B) of the circle display this discrepancy? Have you removed the cover of your tracer and vacuumed out all the face cheese? While the...

Gross Point Blank is great

There are no actual sizes in womens' clothing. a size 8 in one manufacturer's line may be a size 12 in another's. Also, the "cut" of clothing varies greatly. A size 12 in one style of pants may be...
One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest was done well as a movie, but of course cannot compete with the book.
Dune was one of the best books ever written. It should be a criminal offense to so completely...
I am definately a morning person. I get up at 4:50 A.M. to begin work at 7:00 A.M. I need to time for coffee and music. I love the 7 to 4 shift, and could easily be swayed to go for a 6 to 3 if it...
Piecework pay does not belong in a lab, and incentive pay is not necessary. Pay a good hourly wage.
What you need is a crew that you have cross-trained to work in each job. Each work station has a...
Security is an illusion. I'd like to keep freedom.
edKENdance,
If you are a high plus, your eyes will be magified by your prescription regardless of the size frame you choose. If you want a clear lens, Sola makes an ASL+ that is very attractive,...
Jerry,
AF Mini and Compact both go to a 17 high fitting cross. I have never seen any progressive lens higher than an 8 base curve. I wear progressives in transition grey and love them.
Our offices have been pushing the AR lenses for about 1 1/2 years now. I have seen many notes on the lab orders that the patient does not want AR lenses again. After having tried a sample of AR, I...
The Middle East has been a site of disturbance for many centuries. It seems to be considered "normal" to live with terrorist types of activities. I do not want the U.S.A. to become a nation whose...
I had just moved into town and was looking for an apartment to rent. There was an add in the newspaper for a lab technician, no experience needed. I filled in the application and continued apartment...
It is good that you don't have a North Carolina driver's license. If you get caught traveling 10 mph over the limit in a zone that is 55 or greater your license can be suspended for a year. This even...

I work in a small lab that services 4 retail stores. While we will do 1 hour service for patient emergencies, 1 hour service isn't our norm. We have only three people to do all order entry,...

Sometimes I wonder if this is God's way of getting rid of some genetic strains. I hate to see children suffer, but how many of them do you think would survive if left to the devices of their parents,...
