Hi All. Crizal Rock is about to be released in New Zealand. I like Essilor products, but my main beef was that Crizal coatings didn't have the durability of Hoya's Diamond Finish (EX3 in US?). I...

I don't disagree with your point about reducing the cyl to aid adaptation, but this optom apparently habitually prescribes a lower cyl for sv near/int than he gives for distance or progs. Personally...

Probably about 10 years ago I had a pt with repeat coating failures. Like every spectacle wearer in the history of the world, he swore he was treating his glasses exactly as instructed, but I...

Generally our frames are sub-divided into Womens/Mens/Kids, then displayed by brand within those categories. I think they look better when grouped by brand. I suspect I'm on the autistic spectrum...

OK, just bringing back this thread with the hope that I could canvas a few expert opinions now that this lens is a little further down the track. I recently switched a lot of our work from Hoya to...

If the R eyewire is too close to the eye, bring the R temple tighter in or bend the L temple out. I'm sure there's a diagram somewhere that would illustrate the mechanics.

The sample I have is not particularly clear in the unactivated state. Much more of a residual tint than standard Trans grey. Is this the way it's supposed to be, or have I got a dud? The activated...

Good story, and funny. On the downside, it does go to show how dominant Luxottica are, in that they own both the big eyecare brands that are apparently top-of-mind for the consumer. Sorry to be a...

What an outstanding explanation. A couple more questions:
1. Would many of you thoughtful dispensers often use a short corridor for a myope, even given a generous height of, say, 20 mm or more? I...

We have 2 small practices, both running software off a server in the larger practice. All exam, dispensing and financial stuff is run through this program, which we've had for about 3 years. It's...

You've got hold of the wrong end of the stick. My post was not intended to follow on from yours, and the mild term of abuse was directed at the pt, not you.

Thanks mods, I will endeavour to keep...

Funnily enough, I had a case germane to this thread today. A previous pt of mine, who had previously told me he was thinking of buying online because his mate told him he was a mug for paying...

Very interesting, thanks.

The trouble with that, IMO, is that it does not necessarily give sensible upgrade costs from one level of technology to another, and means opportunities for better margins on some products can be...

At this stage, it's not been a big enough issue for me to try and be tricky by witholding the PD from the rx, if the patient requests it. I think we (optometrists) need to try and build our practice...

They are a good tool, but they don't replace competent opticianry. IMO the measurements may be super-accurate, but are they actually measuring the correct thing? Is the posture correct and natural,...

You possibly need a bit more zap to wow today's jaded consumer. The way forward is perhaps to modify a garage door system with mirrors, and have it trundle down from the ceiling at a click from a...

Just coming back to this original post, in my experience Hoya and Zeiss lenses are quite different. Hoya lenses are soft, and most people adapt to them easily and get pretty reasonable intermediate...

This interested me enough that I decided to register instead of lurking. G'Day all.

Are you able to be any more specific about this? I've used a lot of Hoya product. They've just released a...
