    How Optician Refract

    In Ukraine, optician refract. Many America optician wish to refract. But optician afraid of refract for these excuse:
    They say "I can no refract, is against laws." Do not worry. America laws have little punishments. In America, police cannot even rape you without cause. In Ukraine we say man afraid of laws take no moneys breaking laws.
    Optician also say "I do not know how to make a refract on a patients." Is okay, Borysko tell you how. That why this post.
    Borysko Tell How to Make a Refract

    1. Pretend You a Doctor...I tell patient wait in examinations chamber, doctor be coming. I put on doctor coats and pretend mustache I make from hair of my loins.
    2. Make a Confidence on Patient...I tell patient "hello I am real doctor with many colleges. You no worry, I will not drug you and touch your venereals."
    3. Look in Eye for Disease...I use doctor tool call "slut lamp" and look in eye. If there is pupil eye is good. If no pupil I give a reference to ophthalmologist who live in R.V. down street from me.
    Number after three. Pretend Take K Measures...Is no good to take measure because no profit on contract lenses. Pretend measure and tell patient "You can no wear contract lens because your eye no shape like a spherical. Your eye shape like clenched fist of monkey."
    5. Put Patient Head on Phoropter...Tell patient make look on your eye chart. Any eye chart okay. I use Serbian pornographics pictures for eye chart.
    6. Make a Dial Flip...Start with -7.00 then flip dial to +5.00. Ask "which better this (-7.00) or this (+5.00)." If both no good patient Rx is -2.00 -0.50 x 170.
    7. Continue Refract...Flip dials very fast and keep ask which better. When you tired of dial flip you have sphericals Rx.
    8. Cylindricals...When you have sphericals is now time for check of cylindricals. Use Andrew Jackson Cross Cylinder. Make red dot and white dot on top. Change axis until patient sight blurry and can no more see. Then pick axis you like. I like 70, is nice!
    9. Check Presbyterians...Look at patient. If old like hot vice-premiere woman Sarah Palin, they a +1.00 add. If old like John McCain they a +3.00.
    10. Visual Feels Testings...Take cigarette you have been smoking during exam and bring to eye of patient from side. If patient block you before you burn eye, they have a good peripherals.

    Now you may see is easy make a refract. A doctor only charge you much wages and look on internet when no patients. Is better you make a refract yourself and take much moneys.
    I always say I sorry for being of Ukraine and please apologize to my mistakes of your bad language.

    Borysko, you should be awarded the "Order of Golden Star Ukraine" of promoting your home state and its habits within the optical retail industry.


    In your weekly post over the last few weeks you have shown the american opticians how to improve their work habits, work faster, be smarter and make more money.


    Continue showing OptiBoarders how to do things better and you will be getting the highest decoration.


    Whoever you are, your post's are unique and funny.

    I love this guy! My husband (an OD) is still laughing at the "Andrew Jackson Cross Cylinder" and says he is going to start explaining to his patients that the reason they can't see very well is of course because of the "clenched fist of monkey" shape of their eyes! LOL!

    To the OP... do you mind if I cut/paste this onto an eye doctor email list I'm on? The print out is making the rounds of my office now, and I had to stand by while the other doc here read it, she was laughing so hard I thought she was going to choke on her lunch. I had to be heimlich-ready for her safety
