Indian patients from India
For those of you who have an indian population as patients i encourage you to read the post Sanddeep posted in the Opthalmic Optics section about this, in a reply to my question. It is under the title AGE OLD and on page 2, or maybe Steve can move it over here.
.....I can tell you from experience that it does work and is appreciated by these patients, and my thanks to Sanddeep:cheers:
Sorry if I'm repeating anyones idea
When restringing a rimless, I string all but the last hole on the temporal side of the frame and then insert the lens pulling the cord tight. I cut the cord as close to the frame as possible and take the lens back out. I finish looping the cord through the frame and put the lens back in the frame. I end up with a good tight fit quickly instead of spending lots of time guessing on cord length.

PS hope to get through all these great suggestions
Reading Progressive Distance Power
Hi all,
I have a Nikon OL-7 lensmeter. When I want to neutralize a progressive distance power I put the contact lens Lens table on the lensmeter. Then I mark the progressive by taking half the distance between the 180 markings and going up 4mm. I put a circle with a progressive pin in this area. I can find my distance quickly and have little problem with the aspheric surface because of the contact Lens table.

Identifying a plastic SRC
Hi everyone,
Have any of you had to replace a lens for a patient who asked if their plastic lenses were scratch resistant? I found that if you dip a non SRC lens in water along with a SRC lens you can tell the difference. The SRC lens beads and rolls right off where the non SRC lens will disperse the water over the surface.

I am pasting the matter over here..Namste..
Regarding Dots on the fore head..
Well, when the red dot on Men, it's known as "Gandh", acctually, it's generally saffron coloured. When it's on a Lady, it's known as a "Kumkum" it should classically be Red only. But now a days, it may go with the Matching of the the other make ups and Dress.
A widow will probably never use Red color.
A Neckless of Black Beeds in Gold \ or Silver thread is a Must for a Married lady. It's name is "Mangal Sootra" The Husbands put it in the Marriage ceremony . And it stays in the Neck of the wife till her husband dies.
The word with which we greet each other is "Namste".
Pronounce "Nam" as in 'Num'ber "ms" as in 'mus't and te is to be pronounced by pressing the toung aginst the base of the upper teeth , and not by folding the tongue back in the roof of the mounth, as most words are pronounced in English. It shiould be soft.
or "Namskaar" to be pronounced as Num ss car Meaning, I respect you. If the person is a Hindu, try Saying" Raamraa m"
See an streched aa with an infinetismal pause before m It's a coloquial method since ages. I will try to attach a voice file..but that seems immpossible.. so. you have to wait to master the correct pronunciations till some body actually takes a lesson for that !
Do not forget to join the hands just close to your own chest to go with all this Namste, Namskar and Raam Raam
Regards!

Has anyone had a metal temple that could be 5 mm longer?
Hi everyone,
I came across a problem with a temple that was too short and not available in a longer size. I slipped off the temple cover and cliped a piece of temple end from an old junk temple that had the same outer diameter. I soldered the tip of the junk temple to the new temple and smoothed out the solder connection. Slip the cover back on and you've created a longer temple that fits.
