    You can still "make" an ED trifocal however by doing it as a "Franklin" with a D-seg in the lower portion. Do you have any staff who can make a franklin? They're getting rare now!

    Happylady, your employers seem to judging what's "right" based on their own knowledge and skill level. If you're good at what you do why wouldn't you show it off in front of the client?

    Dear Memoir, long time no hear! I can think of no reason optically speaking not to mix refractive indices. I can only think of reasons why one should, particularly in order to create effective...

    Angryfish. To the best of my knowledge production of the ED trifocal ceased when the casting facility at SOLA in Adelaide shut down a couple of years ago. You can still "make" an ED trifocal however...

    I could buy my jeans or shoes on the internet at a fraction of what I pay in a retail store. I'm happy to pay the extra for the convenience of being able to try them on and make sure they fit...

    Barry, I'm really interested to know why you wouldn't use Spectrum over Auto II. I don't know how they're pricing it in the U.S. but here in Australia Spectrum is significantly cheaper and we've had...

    Yep, the ED trifocal was a handy lens. R.I.P. ED trifocal along with Sola Optical lens casting in Adelaide South Australia. R.I.P. the Australian optical manufacturing industry :(

    I recently made bifocal rimless lookovers for a presbyopic commercial pilot who flies large passenger jets. He needs no distance correction, but his instruments are at intermediate and still needs...

    I use secure edge plus pads, as well as always making sure I use the large chucks if possible rather than the small ones. Use soft setting of course. I never have slippage with any material other...

    So was it a tooling problem? It must have been something to do with your tooling. Afterall the generator just gets rid of the excess, the lap makes the power!

    I stock the Ronsir by Shuron. They have told me they are still made in the USA, although I am doubtful. The quality is actually quite good and considering the combination of sizes/temple lengths...

    I cannot imagine why not. I have my ICE connected to an ME1000 and an older EX 9000. I've seen them linked in labs to numerous machines at once.

    Craig,
    I think your best choice is Trilogy D28 Transitions. Even ground at knife edge it will be OK in a rimless mount. The fact that it can be ground so thinly may well offset its lack of...

    I believe the ADOA NSW do run continuing education. Here in Victoria we certainly do as well. It will be an important part of our competency testing and accreditation scheme that we will soon be...

    Mary Sue,
    My sentiments exactly. Perhaps we should have an ADOA/ ADONZ conference! We have made the first tentative moves to get the national body here up and running again with proper...

    Mary Sue,
    I have spoken to James at OTEN and he has been very helpful. I now have a much better grasp on the situation. It is ironic that it is the ADOA in Victoria used to run the guild course...

    Mary Sue,
    I will call Steve and talk to him. I was also under the impression that, and had been advised the OTEN and RMIT courses teach the same content. Looking at the course info, they seem...

    Mary Sue,
    That's great news that the New Zealanders get the full course through OTEN. And good on the N.Z. reg board for sticking to their guns!
    Doesn't help us much here in Australia though...

    On the question of remakes. The place that made the glasses pays for the remake. That's the "unwritten agreement". With optometrists and ophthalmologists it's all care but no responsibility!

    Hello Jennifer,
    So you've just completed the RMIT course! As a matter of interest did you recently receive some "extra reading" which is in addition to the content that you were assessed on? If you...

    Hi Mary-Sue,
    I'm in Melbourne and am deeply involved with A.D.O.A. (Victoria). I was wondering what the Kiwi's think of the changes that have been made to the course curriculum courtesy of the...

    Hello Lee,
    I don't understand your question. Could you expand on it a bit? If you're talking about the first post in this thread then I think that was answered early on. And it really doesn't...

    Mmm, nearly 30 years in the business and this is the first time I've ever heard of this subject given consideration. Any dfference you feel must be due to some other issue. Base curves? Thickness?...

    Prism is prism is prism. Don't matter how you get it folks it's all the same! Doesn't matter how you skin the rabbit: same rabbit underneath the skin!
