Wow...Thank you for taking the time to do that for me Kwill!
I am only able to see the first picture (the Optiboard says the rest are an invalid format), but I already think I finally already...
Thank you to everyone who has helped with this. At least I was able to use the math provided by Kwill212 to replicate for myself what I get from the OptiCampus Calculator.
From a different...
Hi Lensman, thank you for your response. To be sure, I assumed the OptiCampus calculation was correct. In years past, I would have picked up the phone and called Darryl. :(
I've been using this...
This has been puzzling me for a number of years, I'm sure someone smarter than me knows the answer. If I have a lens with the RX +5.00-5.00 x 45 and I move it 10mm, I understand and expect to induce...
I had an optician call me today to ask if I knew of an Eyedoctor's checklist that could be handed off to a patient after an exam. It would include things like AR, Transitions and Polarized. Seems...
I do have lots of fining pads left, not sure where my mind was, but fining up a stock plastic lens by hand made a perfect frosted lens in about 5 mins, thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
Kinda weird, but since we switched to freeform and direct polishing, we can't really make frosted lenses anymore. Does anyone know where I can buy a stock frosted lens?
Thanks,
Ed
Did you find your Exec Blanks? I have a bunch of Execs & some Trifocals too, if you still need them, I'll check on Monday.
Thanks Robert! I'm usually good with Goggle, but I was having trouble with that one. I can always count on you guys. This site is great.
That was a great thought, but I called the account and they said that was not the case. The pt had "Mims" written on a note that they had received from another doctor.
Hi All,
I have an account whose pt is requesting a Mims lens for double vision. Has anyone ever heard of it?
Thanks in advance,
Ed
I always start with a more recent design, thinking it will work better, but after that fails, I try to fall back to something that was designed around the same time as Percepta....my thought process...
Ever since they discontinued Percepta, we get a couple pts a month that have been wearing Percepta for 10 years and cannot get used to anything new...I know Percepta had a long channel, so I usually...
If you assemble all day, you're going to get yourself eventually. I buy leather thimbles from McMaster Carr and the poor dead cows take 99% of the blow.

I'm looking for a Gerber Acuity polisher....It doesn't have to be in perfect condition, but working condition would be great...Let me know if you got one!
Hi,
For years now, we've been buying Safilo's Drill rimless "plugs" for generic (non Silhouette) jobs. Although they're a little expensive, I use them because their sizes are consistent and they...
Does anyone know a place where I can get a nice edge coating. The place I used to use had a process where the coating was baked on...almost seemed like an epoxy when it was done...didn't chip off. ...
How about a cut to coat freeform generator. The coater should have multiple coatings including those with AR in them.
Or maybe a hairspray type material that I could spray on hydrophobics so...
BPI sells a couple products that help with that problem. One is called spotless the other is call spotless pearls. We use both in our tints so I'm not sure which one is solving the problem...but...
Has anyone noticed a difference in the flexibility of the 2 products? (Hoya vs. Younger)...I don't have a lot of experience with X-cell's version of the product, but in my experience, Younger's...
We have a pair of semi finished glass lenses that we bought from X-cell that came with a note about tempering..."Must be chem tempered in a std. crown bath for 24 Hrs at 500 degrees C (932 F)." Does...
My thought was to change the 400 point trace into a 3200 point trace by adding equal points between, then picking out every 25th point (128*25=3200). I think this will work, but I don't know if it's...
Ok,
Say I have a 512 point frame trace that I want to convert into 128 point trace...I'd just use every 4th point.
But how would you go about converting a 400 point trace down to 128 points? Is...
Thanks everyone,
The Younger product was the one I was thinking of.
