I too like you was once misinformed regarding the "digital" process. Digital does not just mean smooth. Digital has to do with the precise control of individual points. Think of a topographical...

There is a local lab here that digitally surfaces specialty and freeform lenses. They can do a double seg on the back that is blended or with a hard line. The segments are curved but they have the...
Call your Hoya and Zeiss reps if you have them. Hopefully if the moon, sun and stars are aligned right they can explain to you what you are looking for. My experience is that the lens reps know the...
For those that have to have poly I have switched to a backside round with a little blend. My lab lists four sizes (diameters) but will work with others. My patients love these over their old FT...
This discussion of AR is very interesting and really shows the confusion at our retail level about AR. I blame the misleading marketing and ignorant sales people for the confusion.
That being...
There is a local lab here in Texas that produces the round seg on the back. They advertise in their pricing that it is available in four different diameters but they are good to work with and surely...
I know it has been a few weeks since this thread was started but I mentioned it to a friend last week at a local lab and within a day he made what you are looking for. Progressive with round seg in...
[quote=Eyesguys;232307]Nikon, is currently severing their ties with Essilor because of the cheapening of the brand.
Which brand, or both!
I think that is how you spell it.
So, why when looking at the Signet Armorlite lab order form can you not order the Unique with prism? Are other digitally surfaced or free form lenses the same?
Vision Source is a buying group of retailers. Or, they are independent retail offices banded together as a group called Vision Source. They are large in number, 300+ and beat up all vendors kind of...
I was checking out the drivewear earlier this year and did notice that in its darkest state the transmission must have been around 12-14%. I did not read the transmission but did compare them to a...
I can't wait for frame trends to come back around to larger B measurements so our patients can have reasonable distance, intermediate and near zones. Then and only then life will be good and the...
Shelleygirl,
A late congratulations. Being in an unregulated state, it is difficult to find opportunities with a fair compensation when there are so many practices willing to hire fast food...
I had a vivid that was a nice trendy look but the design was a bit flawed. It seems that you can not back out the screws for new lenses without scratching the frame. There is no clearance. The...
Just when I thought this was an Essilor thread it turned back to the Younger Image. I admit, the image is my preferred PAL; maybe it is the harder design. I have tried many others and always go...
It may be a good idea to ask for COLTS results but for manufacturers it is big $$ to have COLTS test your lenses and so many manufacturers do not have their lenses tested by COLTS due to the cost. ...
The problem with AR in our market as I have seen it is that most or many dispensers/practice owners don't really care about the quality but more about price. This is why there are so many coaters...
The only sun lenses we will dispense are polarized and they all have a backside AR. Once you have had the opportunity to try it with and without you will immediately become a fan. The patients that...
I am curious about the markings on the VS/Essilor lens. What identifying marks are they using?
It reads like hipo and fezz must do lunch together. I do agree with their opinions about comfort and essilor.
Yes, the comfort has huge market share and is easy to dispense without many...
I wish I was in a position to buy your machines. I have been looking at a surface lab set like yours and the pricing is over $10K. I just don't have the money now. I know a few guys that have...
