    Thanks. That might be an option if my IT guys force it, but I am a lot bigger and scarier than they are. It would also require me to switch labs for stock and I'd make them pay the difference.

    Stock Lens Ordering System

    Hi all,

    We currently use DVI's RxWizard to order our stock lenses, but our new IT company hates it. Do you know of any resources/sites/software for order stock lenses? We mainly use Pech.

    I'm going to check into the free form for now, thanks. I will keep checking to see if any other ideas get thrown in here too.

    The reason I don't find a lab to do Zeiss is that I (nor the Doctor)...

    Alternative to Gradal RD

    I have a patient wanting an "office" style lens that gives him vision a little further out than what the Shamir Office seems to allow. I have an old chart from a Zeiss RD, but our lab is no longer...

    Thanks everyone. The patient will be back in later this afternoon for a contact lens check, so I will trial frame him after that and try adding the prism to see what he thinks of it. I certainly...

    I have an Ellipse 360 on the way for myself. Hope it answers this question for me as well.

    I can't imagine it being a huge difference except maybe for a narrow group of RXs.

    Hey Dragon,

    That is my policy as well. This was one of those patients, however. I know the benefits of doctor's recommending things in the exam room, but it doesn't ALWAYS turn out for the best....

    Interesting suggestion. If she insists on staying in PALs, I will try that.
