He has 14 total diopters of prism, so I have no idea how it slipped through so fast but will now have to do a remake.
Is anyone else experiencing longer wait times from prism jobs? I know prism takes longer but it's taking longer than ever before and it seems like we're getting more and more patients who have prescribed prism. :/ Is this due to the material bottleneck still? I am telling patients 4-6 weeks for their glasses to come in if they need prism, yet many are still calling every few days to check on them.
