Wholesale optical manufacturer seeking experienced CSR to fill position in our customer service dept. Optical products, process experience and attention to detail a must for this fast-paced...

If your lab surfaces lenses before a frame arrives, many do to decrease turn-time (we do not unless asked), and you do not note on the order submitted that it is a wrap frame, the lenses that are...

A product that would perform the same in all climate conditions in my oppinion would be huge. I can't count the number of phone calls and even returns that we get as a laboratory in July and August...

I would definately agree with this. Optifacts is very good as a lens processing software but if you want do more for your customers with the sales and usage information DVI is much better.

We will match powers (Sph. and Cyl.)and use opposite axis on oblique cylinder powers to make it as symetrical as possible. For example if a lens with a 2 cyl. has an axis of 65 we will enter an axis...

Another consideration on the 1.0 Poly is that it can affect how secure lenses are in a frame. In frames with more wrap and small "B" measurements, lenses with higher minus correction will flex more...

If you truly are concerned, check the infromation you have available firsthand! I would review all of the MSDS sheets (your company should have them for all the chemicals they use) and verify...

I applaud that! I still argue that those same declines are a result of our industry's need for CHEAP and FAST at all levels, retail, wholesale, independent. If you want exceptional quality and...

Maybe you should visit your local Wholesale lab to get an understanding of how your lenses are manufactured. We are talking about a manufacturing process - machines, production lines,...

The impact of Free Form surfacing on Transitions will be that they will only have to supply SFSV lens blanks for Free Form orders. Complex Curves are cut on the back surface not affecting the...

I agree with that statement. However, that was not exactly what I was asking for clarification on. The misconception that our customers have is that a Physio 360 lens, the front progressive design is...

Information we found was that the Physio 360 front surfaces are cast in moulds cut by Free Form (digitally surfaced) as are what we get as a semi-finish lens. Both sides of the lenses are not cut at...

"Never procrastinate on anything, especially to the point that I have forgotten what I intended to do."

I meant to make this my resolution for last year... but I forgot! :D

As mentioned earlier too much pressure can/will distort a lens when reblocking causing power problems - try double taping the lens (this will also help insulate from heat). Do not use a chilling...

Very True! Yet I beleive that aspect will be what holds up designs released to Labs from the major manufacturers (Essilor, Zeiss/Sola...) to be Free Formed due to their current investment in...

Progressive lens designs will still come from the manufactures (although I do know that there will be people/labs that will try to design their own progressive). The result is a "click fee" to that...

This works for me.

Hold the lens over a black background (flat black preferably) on a desk top or work surface, use a fluorescent light source and tilt the lens back and forth to run the...

I agree that this beats all! I was not trying to imply that there was a substitute for proper drilling and mounting of any lens, or that any material could not be drilled.

Sorry if it came...

I suggest contacting your lens suppliers and pressing them for the tensile strength of their materials, they're not always given freely so you may have to go through several tech. reps. The testing...

Essilor and Sola both use the MR-7 monomer for their 1.67 products. I also know Signet Armorlite uses the MR-7 for their 1.67.

SOLA's Vizzio is a 1.67 FSV w/ AR

Can you elaborate on this product? There have been a few references to it but no details. I'm curious as to how or what it does to solve the cracking problem.

I work for a wholesale lab and we...

Just curious, how does your device handle the metal shavings created by drilling out the screw post, is there some sort of vacuum? We have experienced scratching problems due to handling lenses while...

Is anyone familiar with lenses specific to Color Blindness? We have been given a lens sample from a doctor's office to make in a pair of glasses for a patient who is color blind. It seemed simple...

Zyloware - Stride Rite frames have some styles where Cable Temples are optional, you would have to specify them, they are not standard.
