I told the lab according to my calculations the total power would be -20.50 and the chart reflects total power of -24.00.
Am I incorrect with my interpretation?

Years ago I worked at a Sears optical and we had to refund a 7 year old pair because the patient dreamed the metal trim turned into claws and dug her eyes out!:giggle:

The lab at our company provides an availability guide on lenses.
An example is 1.67 Hi Index Transitions
sph range +10.00 to -16.00
cyl range 0.00 to -8.00

So we place an order for this Rx

1/2 cyl power added to the sph power. Do I pass?:showoff:

we finally got thru to the dr and Robert, your calculation was exactly correct.

Barry, Are you ok with online venders selling contacts without an Rx, or being able to walk into any of the local smoke shops and buying contacts without an Rx? Our board is continuously...

That is exactly what I told the dispenser what I thought, but also I told her to still confirm with the prescriber. That's great advice to reach out to the office mgr. Thank you.

How about going into the trial contact lenses and giving contacts to a pt without a doctor's prescription or even an eye exam for apt who never wore cl. Not even giving any instruction on how to...

Hi wm,
this has been tried before in Az and hasn't gotten passed, but this time they seem to be attempting to sneak it though quickly and quietly. Even the house bill has no text other than the...

I've been considering a move to North Carolina and wondered how difficult would it be to get a license by waiver currently? I've been practicing in the field for 51 years and licensed in Arizona...

That second bear needs a light so he can smoke that weed!

I have the same one in almost new condition I'd like to sell. looks like the same unit includes gradient maker, tints, transfer fluid, and neutralizer. I can send pics to anyone interested.

I'm personal friends with the OD who she's always seen and he's been adamant about not fitting her with C/L as he feels she's not motivated & able to remove them. She's having a new exam with him...

The frame fit will be critical and may be a little difficult as this girl is 5'10" tall and has a fairly wide face. Poor girl has been wearing children's frames for the past 3 years and was fit with...
