100% Andy. Zeiss likes precision and shoots for maximal clarity, and likes to tout "zero distortion above the 180". Well, if none of that unwanted astigmatism is in the corridor and as little as...
You are correct they do still mandate 100 frames available that are covered, so I do have those. Luckily the frame reimbursements aren't SO low that you have to provide crap, you can get plenty of...
Vision care plans do not (and may not) dictate your practices and policies. One is not forced to offer or provide "just what my insurance covers", one MAY say no. Accepting customer demands is a...
I do regularly get more reasonable questions from my customers about why their expensive "scratch proof" lenses I made them 3+ years ago are scratched or crazed. Of course first we all remind eveyone...
Update: I just submitted an XR Design on VSP and the "V2702 - Deluxe lens feature" line item is only appears in the calculations IF you input values in the custom measurements fields. If you leave...
It requires no additional measurements, but you may supply them on the Design (notice the input fields will be available on Eyefinity). I think then the only difference between Design and Fit if your...
This is perfect, I'm training an apprentice right now and she's planning to test in a month and this is excellent guidance. Thank you Krystle!
There will be no similarity. Essilor and Zeiss have fundamentally different progressive design philosophies, and I would even opine that they are the most diametrically opposed designs on the market....
Probably the most time-consuming interaction between optician and customer is frame selection. This is not a highly technical task, and with a few simple instructions on frame fit any staff (or even...
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...
