Here is a picture of the frames I have.
I have a fairly high prescription (-9.00) and I have a pair of small (46 eye size) compression mounts (not the ones with the screws) made up with 1.67...

"Are the lenses going to have that sticker on them?" Use common sense. Why would a lab grind lenses in your powers and then put a brand name sticker over them to impede your vision?
"Stigmatisms" I...

I think high index lenses are the greatest; all I swear by is 1.67 with crizal avance and grey transitions. You can also use a digital lens, in both single vision and progressive format, which...

They've worked very well and from what I've seen (personally) they work even better with the addition of a premium anti reflective coating. We had one complaint from a very kindly, older lady who...

I began working in the optical business fresh out of college in 2002 and we accepted Davis Vision until 2010. We no longer accept it and hoohah, we aren't missing anything!!

Don't you absolutely hate those kinds of people who refuse to do anything to correct their vision? No offense, but teenage boys are sometimes the worst people to try to convince that the correction...

Hey!! My glasses perscription is a -9.00 myself lol. I wear contacts most of the time though.

I'm really happy that the word about anti-reflective coatings, especially Crizal, is getting out there and be displayed to the public. Now if only the customers could pronounce Crizal correctly,...

Stop stalking my office, would you! :-O Just kidding. I love the TRANSGRESSIONS part. LMAO! Glad I'm not the only one going through the agony of being in the optical business (at times)!

No matter if they're gay or straight, it's always someone runining SOMETHING with a controlling attitude!!! :(

The worst one was a patient's HUSBAND basically accusing our office (we're private practice) of fabricating the Essilor Anti-Fatigue lenses. Why would we want to make up a story about the existence...

I lost count. I have many more at my parent's house but at my apartment:
1) Polarized grey Crizal Sun Kate Spade's
2) Humphrey's 1.67, crizal alize w/ grey transitions
3) Banana Republic 1.67...

Yay for Humphreys. I currently wear the Humphrey's 582020 in the the purple/pink color, with 1.67 aspheric lenses, crizal avance and grey transitions (sixth generation). Personally, I LOVE my...

Nope, you can't do polycarbonate with transitions in a FT 28 bifocal. You can go 1.54-155 index (X-Cel High X D-28 or SOLA ASL FT 28 Spectralite Volacity), 1.53 index which is essentially trivex, or...

What never ceases to amaze me are the parents who pay all of *15* dollars to fulfill their material copay, utilizing their insurance through Vision Service Plan. These are the parents who get the...

Oh yes. About a week or two ago a lady called about her daughter's eyeglasses. Turns out her daughter had never received her free magazine subscription with the J-14 glasses that she purchased from...

My script is -8.75 OU. :shiner: I wear a Humphrey's by Eschenbach, style 582020 [color 10], 43 eye, 17 bridge and 130 temple, with a rimless mounting. I have a 1.67 aspheric lens with Crizal Alize,...

I hope nobody plans on making a 'spectacle' of themselves this Halloween.

::snickers in delight at the corny pun:: :nerd::nerd::nerd:

My lenses are aspheric 1.67 with crizal, and the [grey] transitions feature seems to work just fine. I feel as if I can see every color *perfectly* once the lenses transition into sunglasses outside,...

I just wanted to throw in my .02 cents here in reference to the Spectera comment. I whole-heartedly agree! Spectera makes Value Vision III look like a walk in the park at times! We had a patient who...

Ahhhhh....gotcha.
At least I got the extremely small, profoundly ROUND frame part correct.
Right? :shiner: :shiner: :shiner:

Holy mother ship.
:drop:
I've been in this business since 2002, and the highest minus I've seen was a -30.00 RX.
I'm guessing this person must be legally blind. . . I don't even know what's...

You could do a 1.67 high index with a Crizal Alize with an aspheric design lens, or perhaps a 1.71 index, super hi A/R vision and an aspheric design lens. Make sure the patient picks out an extremely...

Lately, we've had more and more VSP members mentioning the extra 20% off they get in addition to their frame discount....

I think it depends, to be perfectly honest. As many posters stated, it is of paramount importance to sell the upgrades to the VSP patients, and secondly, it is also imperative to mark up the price of...
