It's kind of distressing to know that our trade is not considered valuable enough to merit a living wage .( at least here in the St. Louis area) I understand a few years ago, Opticians tried to get...
Indeed, it was getting to the point where almost any post on any forum was likely to make you a victim of attacks., I'm with Don.
I deliberately have avoided Optiboard for a while simply due to some of the vitriolic Ad Homenem <sp> attacks that I have seen over political things. I realize that personal life and working life is...
Anyone else having difficulties with Eyefinity not loading reports today? I'm posting this because I have called there C/S number and it is busy so that tells me there may be a systemic problem....
This is pretty common with the A/R stock lenses in my experience. ( btw a dip in hot water usually pops it back out ) I used a double pad ( front and back) as well as a protective "chip" on my...
I always say, if you don't like how you are treated, walk down the street. I like to have more than one lab that I use just so if one pisses me off, I shift the majority of the work to the other one...
Can I get Old Style Pilsner in BC? :smile:

Hoya St. Louis is great. I always contrast it with the Essilor partner lab in St. Louis by saying that with Hoya, it's what can we do FOR you with the EPL it's what can they do TO you.
Sounds a little large for lensometer prism compensation. Are these for a generator?

The Doctor I work for and I had a heated discussion today about cleaning A/R coated lenses, we use Essilor A/R ( Mostly Avance) and I have always been taught NEVER clean a non glass lens dry. She has...
If you have access to an old Horizon edger, those things made great patterns off lenses, but I'll look around , see if I have any around here.
My FORMER Viva rep padded my order once with some of those ugly, poorly made frames, ended up trading them in to Europa for something that would sell.
A quick electric solder unit , I would say 60's or 70's. just have the one though, thought there was another back there but it was a gradient arm with random wires near it. ( back in an old dark...
Optically, CR-39 produces half as much dispersion as polycarbonate.
Ok , but that is just versus Polycarbonate, people appear to regard it as a poly vs cr-39 battle. my point is that there are...
We have some old Cazals and the like we are going to do that with, but , somehow, I don't see 25 pairs of cable temples for an obsolete frame setting any sales records but we may give it a try. We...
Your lab is high, mine is only about 70 bucks more
The office I have recently taken over has been in business over 50 years and I am finding some really unique things every time I open an old cabinet it seems. The latest thing is about 25 pairs of...
Ok then, how about this. Tell me why you think CR-39 is a superior material, other than it's cheap and you can edge it quickly and for some people the optics are better,I can't think of anything it...
