Advice would be appreciated, I hired a "seasoned veteran" optician, she's 62 years old with a lively personality. The problem is that she makes the selling process painfully long. I can tell my...
I've used Digital Eye Lab several times for *special* jobs, they actually offer Transitions XtraActive in 1.67, which I can't get from Essilor. All of my patients have done very well with the...
Thanks, you guys are awesome. I can't wait to try this out in the morning. BTW, I thought I should mention... my Santinelli does auto safety-beveling, but it makes my lenses look like crap... I'm...
Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired a new hand edger, but when I safety-bevel poly, it takes forever to "scratch" off the shaved poly from the edges. Even after seemingly removing all the visible...
Huh? I thought Lux was the bad guy? Why's everyone hatin Essilor these days? I know they teamed up with Lux but as long as Lux doesn't buy them, I don't take issue.
Hey everyone, I'm trying to find well worded waivers for poly and POF's.
Let me know if I can borrow yours... :) Thanks!
I agree about the marketing point. I've thought that this might be a lens using some of the wrap tech from KbCo since Essilor bought them out... Xperio, Varilux Sport...
I'm gonna stick with my...
Anyone tried the new Varilux Sport yet?
I'm waiting to fit patients with this until I hear some feedback.
Sounds like it would be great for 8 base wraps, but I'm concerned about it having such a...
Definity / Definity Short is a great lens - very wide reading and intermediate area.... all of my patients are very happy and see the difference almost immediately.
So today I had 2 groups of the usual suspects come into my store in groups of 4+. We had 3 staff members including myself keeping an eye on them.
Thought they didn't steal anything only to find...
We are looking for an energetic & motivated individual to join the staff at our West Oaks - Houston 77082 location.
The ideal candidate would possess the following skills/job knowledge:...
I tried Ellipse 360 recently, and was a little surprised the lack of intermediate it gave the patient. After some research I found out from Essilor that the Ellipse 360 is still not the lens of...
Thanks for backing up what I already thought to be true. I guess sometimes I hear something that conflicts with what I've always known and it makes me second guess myself. Thanks to Harry...
So recently I've had a pt. come back from her outside rx providing doc who stated that we should have measured OD 14mm and OS 15mm....
previous to this I had always just used the lower of the two...
Had 1 complaint from a pt who stated that the mirror was too light.
But overall a good lens IMO.... and unlike other mirror coated lenses, the Crizal Sun Mirror lens DOES have a scratch warranty...
Essilor has the iRX Polaroid that comes in a Brown 1 & Brown 3...
They have names like Chocolate and some other name...

Do any of you guys accept this plan?
Supposedly they do have members who pay set amounts for upgrades...similar to VSP or Spectera.....but
I've never seen one.. all our pt's on SVP have only had...
Yeah, guess the toughest part is that I'm being told not to refund the pt's cost for the progressives. Even if I can get VSP to make a new authorization so she can go elsewhere for her glasses,...
First I'll say that I'm aware of the difference between these 2 lens designs for the most part. Problem is I had a pt. come in today that we've remade twice.
Turns out the optician who originally...
Hey guys, gotta question... when blocking my plano polarized lenses I'm viewing an lcd screen and turning each lens until the screen appears black then blocking on that axis. Is that the correct way?
thanks Jubilee.. I'll bring this up with my ins. coordinator. - austin
I've heard that it's possible to seek higher reimbursement on Medicaid plans when the patient Rx requires surfaced lenses to be ordered.
i.e. a -2.50 cylinder. Please advise. Thanks!
Ok, so I cleaned the built-up ink from the tips of the marking pins on my lensometer.. just used paper towels. Now, the tips won't pick up ink from the well. Now I'm thinking that maybe there were...
Anyone know where this terminology comes from?
I know it's a misinterpretation of "prescription". Still, it bugs me.
Thanks for the link, I'm still looking. My first choice in Houston hasn't gotten back to me, seemed like a sure thing. I feel like I'm going to have to take a regular optician job just to be able...
