I think for 'soft floppy style', Chris means a muslin polishing wheel. You'll find them in tight and loose weave - either works but my preference for polishing plastic frames is a tight weave wheel...
Already mentioned that to him. He said his insurer (BC/BS Anthem) isn't great on sending EOBs - that's why he was asking me what I thought.
Hey Optiboard, it's been a long time.
Not so quick question I got from a friend who just saw a new Optometrist. He recently moved and found this OD through some people he works with.
My...
I saw this on Facebook and had to come back here to see if there was any news on what may have happened.
Anyone wishing to leave a message for Darryl's family, the Facebook post regarding his...
Use 1.6 glass. UV coatings on glass give you a horrible yellowish/brownish/greenish hue that's nearly 30% - looks horrid.
Historically the opticians roll has certainly been diminished - but then I think all rolls in optics have been diminished in various ways.
The three O's used to live together nicely. The patient...
VSP provided the frame, right? By compensating you for the cost and by requiring you to use their lab network VSP is using you as a go-between for their services. Contact VSP on the patient's behalf...
I never said anything about the original post - I was simply commenting on paying for parts and labor on returns.
My answer to the original problem was clear: In this case you've got a clearly...
One look at a Luxottica shareholders yearly reports shows that LC is the only profitable arm of Lux Retail. Those profits need to be spread across all of Lux Retail - so when Sears and the rest...
Bottom line is Lux Retail only makes money through LC. Sears Optical is getting dumbed down - as is Pearle and it will happen to LC (already is around here).
This isn't true at all.
Wife's computer was under warranty through Best Buy. When it had a problem I took it in, they had to send it to the manufacturer and we got it back in a few weeks. No...

Optimeyes is only Detroit area AFAIK. SVS is a decent company - and their employees know it (at least around here). They're never hiring.
Oh for the days of Eli Shapiro - he treated employees...
Remember, there are two panel lists (just like there is with Eyemed). Getting on one is easy - getting on the good one, not so much.
And you will be amazed at how much a little word of mouth will...
??? WHERE ???
Not in Lansing and not on the West side. I keep in touch with maybe two dozen opticians I've either worked with or have met at some seminar - of those 2 work for a large OMD practice...
VSP (and Humana) are privately held businesses - you play by their rules. But I'm still wondering why you care?
And VSP's out-of-network payment is very similar to in-network - except they pay for...
Well the ELOA lab in this city would do well to order from China - they recently instituted a third shift simply to keep up with all the breakage from the earlier shifts. But the few people that I...
I agree with Bill. Believe me when I say I wish I had the start up capitol - the East Lansing area (especially around campus) is prime for a optical with fair prices and great service.
Time to sit down with the OD and let her know the benefits of allowing you and your lab to make those choices. That is what the practice pays you for, right?
Honestly it's a cop-out when a OD/OMD...
Have to agree with Chip on this one - and Lansing gets some strange winter weather. Not as much snow as we get here on the west side of the state but when it does snow there is snows hard. I've seen...
Where to start.
First, I know a few shops in the Lansing area, if you want to PM me or shoot me an email (audiyoda [at] gmail [dot] com), I'll give you any heads up I can.
Now regarding...
Thanks Chris, knew that already - and it works well when it works. On some of today's plastic frames it doesn't work so well. Seeing that the OP did not include the type of plastic involved and...
I used to take dead stock and file down parts to get what I needed. Worked for me.
Caveat: This was when I owned a set of hot fingers.
Post Script: Most epoxies will not hold to today's plastic...
