Everyone focuses on Essilor beacuse of the way they run the market. Zeiss is diversified into many different industries, not just eye care. They make a better product and support independants,...

Yesterday was fairly normal, but today, everythings bee just wierd. Got a 2-pair job back from the lab, they cut the lenses to plano. Another one, lenses only, redo, came back with the tracing on...
This is true, and at a lot of the big boxes, the exam lasts about 15min. That was the case when I worked at a store run by ECCA. 4 exams per hour... I think they would have done away with the...
Once upon a time, in a optical shop far far away...
Back to the original issue... I'd be willing to bet that the lens Shamir is giving to the big boxes isn't the Autograph II, but the Element... Much less expensive, but in marketing terms, very...
The heat is why the lens isn't getting very dark...
He should just get a pair of something polarized for the sunshine. Photochromics are handy, but don't really replace proper sunglasses...
You might want to talk to Dan @ Digital Eye Lab. They just got a Helix, and they do Freeform. They have a new in-house wrapped freeform that's really nice. His extension is 133.
Spoke with Digital Eye Lab about the Helix... It should do what the MEI can...
Call Dan @ 888-305-3300 x133. He'll give you the details. They have a new private label freeform too... I've used...
Transitions lenses can be tricky. If one wears a hat with a brim, they don't darken as much, as the lens is somewhat shaded. Temperature can have something to do with it as well. How warm was it...
Personally, I prefer the regular non-360 Physio to the Definity short, both of which are at 17. Even better are my GT2's (17) and wait for it...........
Sola Compact Ultras (15). Okay, my...
Digital Eye Lab in New York just got one...
If the Santinelli can, I haven't found a lab with one that can pull it off. The Helix should be able to, but the trick is programming the edger to do it. The only labs I'm aware of at this time...
THat's the problem with Essilor... They have this SPORT lens and now a GOLF lens that can't be wrapped... What's the point? Autograph Attitudes are FANTASTIC! I wish I collected a paycheck from...
Autograph Attitude, or call Dave Bunton over a Zeiss Kentucky. I have both Autograph Attitudes, and the Spazio, and I think I MIGHT like the Spazio better. Then again, I'm -3.75 -1.25 x045 (r)...
Got in touch with them. The American importer went out of business. You can order direct from Germany, but it's a 500 euro minimum. That's a LOT of nosepads...
Florida is EVIL! Last time I checked, if you are coming from a non-licensed state, regardless of your experiance or credentials (ABO, etc...) you must aprentice for 3 years before even being allowed...
Keep in mind that not all online retailers are cut-rate, everything made in China lowball operations. There is one that comes to mind (the one I'm at, and I won't name it as this is not an...
One thing that everyone is missing (and is unfortunately beyond our control as eye car professionals) is the offender, the headlights. I invite all of you to do a search for Daniel Stern Lighting. He...
Any lab can make lenses for Kawasakis. I used to work for a shop that carried them and we sent them to Walman's. It's the other brands from Italee that have to be done there because the lens is...
I'm bewildered by the perceptions about Oakley in this thread. My best selling Oakley is the Flak Jacket, then the Half Jacket. Average age, 40-60 yrs. Of course they are mainly bicyclists, with...
One thing that toothpaste is good for... taking scratches out of CD's. Believe it or not, the clear green stuff works the best.
Okay, help me out, folks.
I get "O", and "Real Pro's", but "FezzJohns"?
Throw me a bone here
By the way, if you want the "RP's" from "P" to work, try asking for an Autograph Attitude lens. Works...
Have had great luck with Digital Eye Lab in NY, and North Central Ophthalmics (Zeiss) in St. Cloud, MN... Pech is great, but EXPENSIVE!!!
Don't bother with SR-91... It was first offered to Rudy Project, before Kaenon... Rudy project said no thanks, it's junk, and ran with NXT/Trivex...
Oakley. Rudy Project is a pain to work with, and Maui is worse... My business is over 80% sunglasses, and I have worked with all 3. Dropped Maui, and only keep Rudy on for the exemplary product,...
