In addition to the ST28 Hoya IQ that Robert references, consider a freeform bifocal such as IOT Endless Bifocal (round seg available in two sizes) or Shamir Duo.

Trivex is closest to Spectralite...

I worked with several pro golfers, including a British Open champ, and most of them prefer non-polarized lenses for golf course use. Their claim is that it is much harder reading undulations on the...

With oversized/dual monitor use cases, I've always had better results with a short distance NVF lens design such as IOT Endless Office 1.3M, Shamir Workspace, etc.

They have a wider intermediate...

I received my first order back with a Gen S a couple of days ago. It was a grey. The fade time is very impressive to see in person. Thumbs Up. Looking forward to seeing the "true to tone" darkening...

Our OD often recommends and sells hypochlorous acid spray for eyelid hygiene. Also as a treatment option for Demodex related dry eye symptoms, or after a specific Blepharitis treatment such as...

Not too often but I probably do 5-10% of Polarized suns with a mirror. Sometimes flash, more often solid.

Cherry's mirrors are excellent. https://www.colsamples.com/

Outside of pilots, I havent sold a tinted lens in over 8 years. In Florida, with all the water everywhere, it is a no brainer. Not to mention the huge benefit of dashboard reflections in windshields...

That's why some practices are opening or shifting to not taking insurance.

We include an OCT/retina image in the exam price and package price lenses with Trivex and AR, but we don't have to deal...

Just whats covered - I would always give my lens recommendations based on RX, frame, use cases, lifestyle, etc BEFORE even looking at "whats covered". If they still choose a Cr39 Adapter progressive ...

I've heard stories of offices that refuse to see the pt unless they have retinal photo. It doesn't matter the insurance. Made the pt pay the fee whether they wanted it or not. IMO, there are more...

Technically, it is 0.27 mm. I try to use the exact amount for calculations especially for higher order prism, and then round the PD to the closest 1/2 mm.

LOL, didnt even look at todays date. you got me doc

Congrats! Going for the NCLE next?

I haven't found anything. I didn't know 1.90 resin was coming out until your post. We don't have any direct Essilux accounts for anything. I imagine it has to be fairly dense and heavier though. I...

Current calculator for 1.90 is based off a 1.5mm CT for minus and 1.5 ET for plus. I suppose it will depend on the tensile strength of new 1.90 resin to see if it goes down to 1.0 CT and ET. You...

Much better Abbe than the 1.76 lens that was announced a few months back. It has a 30 Abbe

Sounds really good on paper. I'm assuming the speciific gravity of the material will be higher. I bet it will be super expensive. Nice Abbe value improvement over 1.67 and 1.74.

Yeah it is. Close to $8K investment depending on selection

I saw Zero G Titanium today. Inline groove titanium frames similiar to Ovvo, Lool, Mykita, ic Berlin, etc, where they are cut from sheets. Quality was really good. They look much more polished than...

Tom Ford is probably the most attractive brand that Marcolin has a license with. Marcolin signed a perpetual license renewal with them recently. They've renewed most of their licensed brands in the...

I used to be in that exact type of practice Krystal. 4 MD practice only filing post-cataract Medicare claims. It was located in a multi-practice, multistory building so I saw very few walk-ins. You...

Marcolin is selling, all the big frame manufacturing sharks are circling. Essilux will always have the deepest pockets, so thats my bet.

I'm similar to 24/7. I've been in optical industry 30 years. I've never scheduled a dispense or turned away a walk-in in all that time.

I've worked corporate, 4 MD practice, large doctor-owned...

We use Anagram and have had zero problems. We had maybe two claims bounce back when VSP changed addresses a few months back.
