I am in a small 1.5 doctor Optometry practice. We don't have storefront so our walk-in traffic is minimal, but of course we get outside Rxs. First, as you said, our business model revolves around...
Oh I misunderstood the gist of your OP as pure snark and didn't get that you have interest in the device. If you don't have a digital measuring device, I think you should get one.
Not for...
This is just the evolution of digital measurement devices, and measurements will be 100% accurately automated in the near future anyway. This should not concern good opticians. (Heck, I use a...
Xbox player.
Right now I'm back to Cyberpunk 2077 with version 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty DLC, both are excellent. I picked it up a year ago, two years or development after its disastrous 2020...
Another option if you want to deny special orders without just outright saying no, is Eyemed and Spectera explicitly state frame benefits can be applied to any frame "in your inventory". I haven't...
Yes actually. This is a 2/3 bevel while the previous lenses were front bevel. However, it is a small rectangular frame and there is minimal thickness top and bottom to dramatically change the vertex...
Hi friends! Here's my most recent head-scratcher.
Made some Physio W3+ 1.74 in the following:
-13.25 -0.25 x015 +1.50 PD 30 seg 19
-10.50 -0.50 x100 +1.50 PD 30 seg...
Do not offer additional colors, but show options on request
Special order product only with eyewear purchase. If frame prices differ we can adjust once final decision is made.
One frame can be...
Apologies ahead of time for excessive opinions. tl;dr: anti-fatigues meh, but computer glasses heck yeah, for everyone!
Though marketed as single vision lenses, the anti-fatigues are certainly...
I must say, Transitions 8 and XTRActive are the first time in my career I've been impressed by photochromics. 8 is very clear, changes quickly, and doesn't yellow as soon as previous generations, and...
And also on Opticampus, don't miss Darryl's excellent Spectacle Optics desktop application. I use this regularly. http://opticampus.opti.vision/tools/spectacle_optics.php
Indeed, AR EVERYTHING, and all prices are inclusive of it.
I don't have AR coatings, my lenses are anti-reflective. The intense process we use permanently bonds all lens layers, and one will not...
No, because if they didn't buy them from you they're probably wearing crap. But you'll fix that!
It's pretty rare for my new customers to be coming from other comparable offices. There's the...
Yup poly polar with xperio, or KBco mirrored poly polar blanks with backside AR for every sun.
I use a variety of Spectrum, Eyezen, and Auto 2 POW, my costs on those FFSV are 40-60% higher than traditional SV, I split the difference and charge a flat 50% more. In clear lenses, the Attitude POW...
15 vendors, 22 brands. That's a lot more brands than I need, but many are grouped into one vendor/rep so there's little distinction in costs or buying time whether one line or two. And many of those...
Those are really cool lenses. I wish more digital labs put the effort into custom lenticularization like that. I'm sure it's a PIA to do and disruptive to a high volume production lab. But if it were...
Only the DRx are spherical front, backside design. All other Varilux, Comfort W2, Max, Physio W3, S, X, XR, even Liberty 3.0, are digitally molded dual add designs. And yes, all those designs must go...
6 years ago I tried an older version (2, they are now on 4) of it for a few weeks. It's cool because it's not just a janky ipad attachment like several other digital measuring devices out there, it's...
Is it? I think the progressive world is staunchly divided between spherical front and molded progressive front surfaces. Shamir and Zeiss are all into 100% backside (except Zeiss' top progressive in...
Exactly!
I hate plastics with nosepads, I stock as few as possible and usually exchange out ones my reps send me. People who want plastics often don't want pads, and those that need pads often don't find a...
Note "Sapphire UV" is still available but is the same as it always was, definitely not as durable as the rest of the Crizal line. "Sapphire HR" Is the new version, and it is glorious. Slick and super...
Or if you don't want to do them yourself (I don't): Spectrum Eyeglass Repair in St. Louis.
I just got these back from them. I like the screw on ones best, very sturdy. Ask for the "screw on APA...
