So I've been working in an optical lab for nearly 7 years, and it's never really occurred to me to ask why we block progressive lenses the way we do. I was taught (and I'm fairly certain it's...

I've been thinking that's probably the right thing to do, Jacqui. The weird thing is, according to my software the edge thickness should have been 2.0 as well. Not sure what happened there.

I have a safety frame that I'm making Trivex FT28 lenses for, and there's a significant amount of BO prism in both lenses. (7 OD, 6 OS) It's a minus Rx, and obviously the rule on thickness for this...

+4.25 -8.25 x 4
+3.75 -7.50 x 1

Patient wants high index. I was thinking an aspheric 1.70 or 1.74, but I'm unsure. Thoughts or recommendations? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Any recommendations for a first non-digital progressive? Patient is a low myope with low cyl in the OS and a 1.25 add. Thanks!

Got a patient who uses a +12.00 bifocal in combination with contacts. Thoughts on best solutions?

We do all materials--mostly poly and Trivex, but some plastic and high index too. Even glass on rare occasion, but I'm trying to phase that out completely. Some of our frames are sharper geometric...

So our lab may be in the market for a used edger (and possibly a tracer) soon, and I'm looking for any opinions/recommendations you can offer. The most common models I see listed on a fairly...

Agreed on the Tap n' Lok screws from Hilco. The best part about them is the fact that they will break off cleanly! No need to worry about clipping or filing...

I have been working with LifeRx for 4 years now, and while I cannot speak to others' experience with it, personally, I have not seen any long-term problems with delamination. There was a short period...

How about Laramy-K's ICE coating? Anybody have experience with that one?

What is your favorite independent AR coating and why? Which ones have you had success with, and which ones would you steer clear of?

Thanks for your comments! It sounds like these lenses will be perfect for my situation...

I honestly don't know much about this coating. I've read in other posts that people have had success with the stock lenses, and I'm looking for a good option for one of our (for lack of a better...
