    You're resurrecting 10 year old threads and it feels like you are trolling.

      @JASG here are some other older threads that I am awaiting your amazing insights on.

      TIPS ON DISPENSING - OptiBoard Discussion Forums

      The purpose here is to start a thread, that if it works Steve will put in a permanent file. Steve informed me that starting a new forum was difficult with this software as once you do it you cant remove it.The purpose here is to pass along to others all the little tricks of the trade , that has anything to do with dispensing.

      So I have to ask, every one seems to love it, my self included, why is it not used more? It's better than poly in every way and only 10% thicker at most, usually it's not even noticeable. Yet I see so many doctors and opticians shrink from it when it's brought up. Any ideas why?

      EyeMed versus VSP ................................ - OptiBoard Discussion Forums
      https://www.optiboard.com/forums/showthread.php/69386-EyeMed-versus-VSP
      I had not the faintest idea that EyeMed is more than twice as 2x large in lab work providers) as VSP when I looked up the information over the weekend. while VSP has the following information: Eyewear Marchon and Altaire sources: https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=22242723

        Ya’ll do realize that in the UK, where this petition started, optometrists are called opticians, right?
        That said, this is a problem (& a petition) for doctors, not U.S. opticians……..

          You know Barry, you made a wise statement in 2000 when you said this! Some still argue about a simple PD! We as a profession/trade/job......need to do a lot of things. I'm working now to do just that! Look for it down the road! Professions have much in common. Common education and training, licenses to practice in some cases, or like CPAs, advanced Certification, called CPA! We are working towards something like that!

          "This is why I've said we as a profession must reflect upon exactly what we say is the real danger with online eyewear. Trying to falsely tap into the public's emotions with unsubstantiated scare tactics will not work. It will in fact, work against us."

          I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, Bubba Santini!

            They are referred to as Ophthalmic Opticians and require a formal education. We attempted to do the same thing here in starting the Society to Advance Opticianry. We wanted to recognize those who saw value in education and training. They made a membership organization out of it.
