Barry, I'm thinking that when we hand over the Rx, that is the time to include an attachment that informs patients about the value of Ansi Standards, the pride the office takes in delivering first...
Dear optical 24/7,
I agree with you that no one wants to be first. I'd add that change is hard. I see those who share on optiboard as leaders. I believe that together we can create and...
Mike, you are dead on here.
You might have noticed my soap box issue is helping independent eye care professionals prosper as E Retailers gain market share.
I started this topic because I am...
I believe it is time to re-think how we price our frames as e-retailers gain market share.
Successful companies will adapt to a changing marketplace: First, e-retailers have lower frame prices for...
It is my opinion that every patient who purchases online prescription eye wear should also purchase the service of proper prescription alignment and verification that lens fabrication meets industry...

This is the link to FDA mandate for impact resistance of prescription eyewear.
I have not seen a conversation addressing the hurdle that presently there is a difference between online retailers and B&M locations. B&M locations have higher overhead costs, like rent, and we...
Quick Question - Can we clarify pros and cons and define a business model we’d like to see? This is my interpretation of what I have seen so far. What is stated incorrectly and what is missing?

In most optometry businesses, capture rate is not 100%, especially if the doctor is providing medical eye care. For example, the patient returning for diabetic health exams will receive frequent...
VSP has started a pilot program as an internet retailer. The way I understand it, the VSP provider purchases a Website Service from VSP. And then, if a patient does not make a purchase after the...
Love the Free Form Flippers!
One thing to add. Dr.'s rx is only accurate at the vertex distance it was measured. The Free Form compensated Rx is generally compensated due to the difference...
This is a two part response:
1. I am very interested to know what tools offices are using to take vertex, panto, and wrap measures. I know of the Shamir panorameter kit. Does anyone here have...
Thank you SpekLadie.
I did not mean to sound like I am promoting Shamir, though I did mean to sound less than enamored with the Kodak Unique. I prefer lenses that allow the optician to tailor...
This representative was incredibly knowledgeable when I was looking at similar challenges.

This is very cool. Thank you!
I believe every single question I had has been answered as completely as possible. Feels good. Thank You!
I'm learning from listening. Darryl, I wonder if you would mind sharing a list of typical merit functions. I'm trying to understand the scope of design considerations.
Thanks Fezz. I think that's the problem. I probably don't have Private Messaging enabled. I'm not seeing it on my dashboard.

Judy found me. Thank You for making that connection happen!
I want to send you a private message, but I'm new at this and don't see that option with reply or submit reply. Please reply privately, if you know how, or contact me through Practice Management...
Contact John Seegers at opticianworks.com. He'll have what you need.
Barry, I read your response and my first thought was "I wish I'd said that". It takes me 3 paragraphs, or more, to say what you say in two sentences. Amazing. Just want you to know imitation is a...
You understand this a lot better than I do. You are saying that lens designers will not agree on "best possible optics" for a single vision lens.
I agree with you, it is never a good idea to...
He's not kidding. I just received this PM from him:
Brother Johns,
If I am ever to do something as idiotic as to get involved with an online retailer, reseller, reteller,...
Darryl, when I set about re-learning optics to understand Free Form, your publications on OptiCampus and in published articles, and your content embedded in presentations at Vision Expo...well,no one...
