If the math is right, the exams will avg $500 each. $10,000,000 divided by 20,000 = $500. Something does not sound right...
As new AR coatings come to market and customer purchases continue to increase, what sets some apart from others for you as the dispenser and for the end patient? Is it performance on clarity, clean...
Not going to fill this using the Rx from 2 different pairs. If the last exam was less than 90 days ago, should be OK with a recheck at no cost. If close to a year, time for a new exam anyway. Not...
How about the Shamir DUO bifocal coming in a month or so? Digital backside design, invisible bifocal with no intermediate. Much better design...
Word is that the Shamir Workspace and Computer should be available on Eyemed in late April. Keep an eye out for it.
Actually, some of us have chosen to give up our state licenses due to the specific board rules of earning the CEC's in person and only in select locations when we have moved out of state. That...
OTI was used by others I know and they all passed. So probably pretty good. Cannot speak well or against the others since I am unfamiliar...
Did you go for the degree program in NJ or the apprentice route and only have 1 class in CL. I believed you also had a rotation fitting CL's in an OD office to learn the skillset and gain additional...
OTI Optical Training Institute probably still does...
1234: The online opticals do not have a reliable way of having the customer measure the height, so the likelihood that the customers will not be happy is significantly greater than SV. So the SV...
1234: At the start of this thread, we tried to ask a few questions to see how you have come to this conclusion, if you have ever worn a PAL (still not sure we know) and how we can help you. Somehow...
LMAO at your old and other comments... my 24 year old son is also LHAO...
Funny thing is, I have dispensed in Manhattan, Chicago and a few other places that most would not consider hick towns...
1234, my friend, I am disappointed that you have not spent time with Bill or Laurie at Hillsborough as an examples. If you had, you would not be able to make the statement "...and they ALL tell me...
1234: I get it now... Because you believe others have low standards (true or not), it is OK for you to lower yours... As a guy that is probably a bit senior to you in age and experience (good and...
1234: Are you sure you are meant for a customer facing profession? Sorry if that is a bit abrupt, but I am trying to find something positive in any of your comments, and boy it is rough to do so... ...
1234: Which ophthalmic science program are you attending in Florida to attain the knowledge necessary to become a skilled and licensed optician? If you are not enrolled in one yet, you might...
After my 1st 20 years in the optical business, I started wearing my 1st PAL. I believed when dispensing them prior, I was doing the right thing by my patients. After wearing my 1st pair through...
May want to look into the Autograph 3 that has improved intermediate channel parameters for + Rx's and other enhancements...
Might suggest trying other systems as there are very accurate and repeatable ones available... I have not used the specific Zeiss system you reference so no comments there...
"A" unless something in the discussion with the patient suggests for the measurement to be lower. Most (maybe all?) of the progressive lens manufactures design their lenses to be measured there. Why...
Has Master Bobie truly trained on and worked with a quality digital system? While Bobie may be terrific manually, he may find features in one of the quality systems that takes his "perceived" and/or...
Dan + 4062: The first users of the cell phone looked like idiots, the first hands free looked like idiots as did the first people to type on a 3" typewriter (the cell phone text). Give it a "true"...
Try Optikam for very good measurement results and ease of use (Ipad or desk top). Very good augmented reality also for sharing lens attributes with your customers. Dan, I have seen folks look like...
POW measurements are fine to compensate. I might also suggest trial framing with the total reading power "with" the frame sitting were she will wear it. Back off on the add until she is really...
