I read and enjoy ECP, but I must admit I'd appreciate some more editing. I won't mention a specific instance of a poorly-edited article because the people who write for ECP are either people I have...
This is sorta kinda apropos...I had a dude come in a few weeks ago; he had purchased a designer frame online (I think O. Peoples, but can't remember, at any rate it looked stupid). I gave him the...
"Give it to the lab" is perhaps the most embarrassing phrase in the optical industry, and yet it's uttered daily by supposed opticians and/or their supervisors.
Need to re-string a semi-rimless, but...
Guys and gals, I hope you'll forgive a bit of fun I've had here lately. The thing is, most opinions here tend to be the same and those who disagree tend to be timid about it.
I really respect (and...
Having availed myself of the expert advice offered here on Optiboard, I believe I've figured out the key to running a thriving optical business. Sadly, I don't have the means to open my own shop,...
They hire RM's who know how to make money. That explains everything, and if you don't like it I respectfully suggest you seek work at a charity organization.
I didn't know you refracted--now you're doing Lasik? Lasik isn't "our" industry, unless I really missed the boat on the latest ABO stuff. But that's beside the point...If you're doing Lasik in a...
I don't want to dredge up the worst of this thread, but I feel I've been misunderstood and therefore wish to make the record clear.
First off, I have the utmost respect for the real opticians who...

And no one drills glass anymore so your point is moot. We hired (briefly) an "old guy who can drill glass" and he was too slow to be useful in a modern lab.
I have no doubt you're the...
Uhm, people...I've been to vision expo and seen the average optician. It is ridiculous that you walk around with pot-bellies and eat crap food and yet worry about a flu shot. Kinda like how you...
Eyepix, if you speak like you write you don't have to worry about negotiations proceeding past the interview stage.
Why wouldn't you give priority to people who spend more at your office? I don't see anything unethical about that.
As for "so I'm supposed to start dispensing..." If you're so concerned about the...
Crap! You've figured it out. Flu shots are a left-wing conspiracy to make kids autistic and sap the precious bodily fluids of real patriots.
I invite the anti-flu-shot crowd to shun all modern...
I second that question.
Man, some of you must have really blown the reading comprehension portion of any standardized tests you've taken.
I said there are 20-year vets I work with who, despite a lack of technical optical...
Rollin' on twenties, Harry...rollin' on twenties.
So now I'm a troll again...Listen people, I'm ABO certified and hope to get advanced and then masters. I work with 20+-year vets who really don't know crap about optics and yet are loved and...
I'm hoping this was posted in jest. Go to a jewelry store--they'll hand you a 10K-dollar ring without first putting gloves on.
Or how 'bout the car dealership? A p.o.s. Saturn is worth way more...
Sure, that all sounds good, but...do you offer ESCALADE lenses?
I golf, too, Golfnorth, and I wear Nike CL's for contrast. It has been scientifically proven that I absorbed at least 70-80% of the UV I ever will when I was a child. Experience bears this out as I...
You know, a shoe salesman used to be an "expert" who had to measure and fit you. We've found out that's not necessary. I run long distances, and I don't need anyone to measure my foot. Running...
Market research has proven that people don't typically buy plano sunglasses at optical retailers.
So there's your answer. Don't try to scare CL wearers into sun--it's a long shot sale and it's...
Two or three hundred? That might suffice if he's selling frames from a hot-dog stand.
You can buy two or three hundred frames for (won't mention wholesale cost) a very small amount of money....
To go from UV to poly (might as well consolidate this thread), it's ludicrous to sell poly for "protection" when CR-39 protects your eyes better than no glasses at all.
Anyone who believes in poly...
