Every once in a while a customers description of lens types catches your attention, the other day i had a farmer come in and ask how much our continuous grind bifocals were! I bet nobody has heard progressives described that way!

They ask for Variflux around here.
The legs, arms or handles need to be tightened and the eye pieces hurt the nose.
The correct term is "stems", not arms, legs, or handles. And "nosepieces".:p
Photo-Ray also comes to mind although I haven't heard that one for a while.
I know lots of people with stigmatism.
Then there was the oriental Dr. that told his patient. "You have cadillac", and the patient responded, "no I have a Rincoln Continental"
"...the Dr. told him 'You have a cataract' and the oriental replied 'No, I drive Rincoln Continental'":) (NOT PC?)
I like when someone wants to try "Lasix" for their myopia.

Actually, I think the term is "bows".:hammer:The correct term is "stems", not arms, legs, or handles. And "nosepieces".
I have also heard of transitor lenses, and "frameless" frames.:p

another popular term amongst the hutterites for temples are hooks, can u put some new hooks on!
some folks think that "transitions" are no-line bifocals??
I need some new nose guards. They are turning green. Or, I am in that no line Trifocal; My wife is wearing the no line Bifocal. :hammer:
Or ... when a man says he needs to make an eye exam appointment with his "obstetrician" (I would pay $$$ to see that!)
There used to by a dispenser in town who used to tell consumers that he does not deal with the "invisible bifocal" junk, he offers the premium, the "invisible trifocal". So they would come in and say that they do not want an invisibile bifocal, they want an invisible trifocal.
One of the gems was the lady who insisted she get the
same "transexual" lenses her other optician gave her before.
I want to meet that guy!!!
When we don't like someone we give them the no-line bifocal not the no-line trifocal.;)Ryan said:

This post gave me a great idea, i am now selling no line quadrafocals, far more advanced than the no line bi or tri!, same price too!
I think the medicine in my glasses has run out.

I've also heard customer's refer to their lenses as 'medicine'. I had a patient swear I "injected medicine in her eye" during her pressure check on the tonometer a few months ago.
We should come up with our own terms and say that they are not like the other ones.ripper said:

Everyclear lens - It is not an AR coating. It is a lens that has not reflections on it.
Unilens - It is not a progressive. It is one lens that works for distance, intermediate, and reading all in one. Best of all, it fits in small frames unlike progressives. Or we could even call it a two for one lens. Consumers love the term two for one.
Drivers lens - Add a slight tint and charge $60+
Nah, I can't offer these, I have my morals.
I to have had my share of descriptive terminologies, but one that comes to mind is, "Do you have those PhotoPhobia lenses?"
Regarding the temples, I had someone simple refer to them as the 'things'. Can you replace the things on my glasses, they are bent and one fell off. I fyou can replace the things now it would hold me over 'til my next exam.... Like I'm suppose to know what things are just my looking at me and saying 'the things' sheesh!:hammer:
:cheers:
Cowboy

I actually had a lady who came in while i had a crowd of people, and asked me if i had any of those bisexual frames.
I also have heard, The medicine ran out in the glasses.
How about those new transitor lenses?
And how many times have you heard "I have a screw loose" as they chuckle (thinking they just came up with that)
:)

I think it's worse when a man comes in, with that "look" and says "I need a screw" ... :finger:
Ever hear this..." The PIN broke" or "The PIN came out"???
PIN meaning the screw.
:hammer:
I like,
"Do you have round glasses that will make me look like John Lennon?"
Makes me want to get my gun.
How about, I think my prescription is running out, i can't see as well as i used too!
