My thoughts exactly!
I used the same edger not to far back and I had a seperate pattern cutter, you may want to consider the same. The pattern cutter looked to be something that would be inexpensive, but I have no clue...
Agreed, don't substitute boiled water for saline. And don't substitute saline for cleaner. Sterile saline, while good for rinsing is not going to disinfect your contacts or case. To clean your...
Forget trying to make this thing work with some jazzy optical work, it just isn't going to make a difference. It sounds like you are in a situation where the sales person did not explain things...
Excellent suggestion Chip!
You are correct in what you are saying but it doesn't matter much because these days you aren't calculating the power of the lens. Lensometers are much better for this, of course. Because they are...
This is at its best when the wife picks out the ugliest pair of frames possible.
I had a guy in the other day that brought in his own frame, it was a high end designer with a spectacle...
I would focus more on this. Or, if the patient is in a PAL it is more likely that the seg is too high. PALs and TVs don't mix well sometimes because people keep their TVs in low spots and/or they...
Not that I sit around doing this conversion all day but 6/9, 6/12 should convert to 20/30, 20/40.
Chip - A video like this could make sense in a different country.
The script is very basic and I encourage you to get more detailed.
For example:
"Frames for PALs should be well fitted...
Though we can't answer specifically to your case, I can tell you this...
Non-custom soft contact lenses aren't produced in cylinder powers less than 0.75 diopters.
Because you are a...
I hope I didn't give the impression that we (optometrists) don't frequently discover undiagnosed brain lesions. I just think that many people believe we actually look at the lesion itself. Unless...
I don't need glasses, and never ever will thank you very much. I can just crank up the light and tilt things just the right way and I will be just fine.
Besides, now we have the amazing...
You are absolutely right, but you know what they are really thinking. They are thinking "Wow, I heard of an optometrist that caught my neighbor's friend's roomate's brain tumor, so optometrists must...
Chris - I am confused by your post.
Tyler's does say Polymacon 38%. 38% meaning water content of course.
Must have good personality, ethics, competency, availability, and liscensure. I would put them all in the "A" list, untill you meet them. Walmart/Lenscrafters positions don't inherantly compromise...
I was thinking that it might mean myelodyplastic syndrome, but know nothing about any treatments with visudyn for this condition. I would agree with what fjpod said, the wet form of ARMD (or AMD) is...
Mds?
If the question is tade vs. profession. It is a bit of a toss up.
Definition of a profession - An occupation, such as law, medicine, or engineering, that requires considerable training and...
Not sure if you are referring to me and drk's posts but the answer is no if you are. One pair of bifocals with a high-normal add (like a +3.00), and a handheld magnifier would be a common...
Just wanted to agree with drk. A +6.00 add is not a great idea and is not the way it is usually done in the world of Low vision. Readers with BI prism are much better or a magnifier.
Bummer...
Touseef - I encourage you to look at the web sites that mirage2k2 has posted, they are a great step by step illustration of what would be involved. If you end up with some specific questions after...
Man, I wish I had known about that second site before I wrote that whole book. :) How much more detail do you want?:confused:
This is some general feedback...
100 pairs/day is what I would consider a signifacant work load. You may want to consider spending just a little extra to conserve on labor costs, or at least...
Your right Karen, their were some posts that were not very nice but as I have said before in other threads, this is the internet and it just comes with the territory. What I think Chris was trying to...
