    Optician Art? Who knew!

    One of my patients (of all people) told me about this optician that etches designs onto ophthalmic lenses. I have no artistic ability, so I think it's really cool!

    Does Billy etch stuff like this other guy ? I know he does designs in wearable lenses, beautiful work, and the poster said he has no artistic? experience, he has to, the animals are to perfect not to.

    never the less, I enjoyed viewing the web sight. Thank You for sharing.

    Ginster :cheers:

    I have no art ability... the people doing these things (SaintSing and Brock) clearly have artistic abilities.
