My neice, who works for LC in Nevada, told me about the lab closings a few weeks ago. If the lab techs have an ABO, they will be reassigned to a different position. If they do not have ABO...

This position has been filled. Thanks for looking!

The set up is through a group of independant labs that created the site. (Part of the Global Optics group) I use the site on a daily basis for my stock lenses. Prices are great, too. Private...

Optech asked me to read the prism in a pair of glasses. I read it, and he said that wasn't what was ordered. A closer look revealed that whoever used the lensometer before me had used the prism...

GoStock.com has been my source. Top of the line S.V. lenses to the cheaper Somo products. Virtually all materials, and with or without A/R coating.

Gostock.com It is owned by a group of independant labs. Monthly billing through the lab.

Those were the days of REAL craftmanship!

I saw a study that was done some years ago on VA at night time, and the addition of a tint. The bottom line is that a person with 20/20 vision has a decrease to 20/32 at night.
Adding just a 10%...

I googled Rite aid eyewear kiosk, and it is not an onsite mfg kiosk to make your eyewear as you wait; as is the Big E kiosk. You try the frames on and the final product is shipped to you. The...

There is a Cherry Optical on the eastern side of Michigan that I believe was sold to the big E a while back. That may be where the confusion comes from.

Thank you for the clarification. Being an independent lab in today's market is very difficult, for sure. I, for one, appreciate ALL the independents out there.

This begs the question what is your definition of an independent lab? I like the fact that I can purchase almost any optical lens product from my independent; be it Zeiss, Hoya, Big E, etc. or any...

... and 4) the cell phone is on silence!

In reading this thread, what came to my mind is that some people can talk a great story during an interview, but when hired; the talk doesn't match the walk. Do you have a probation period when...

We do most repairs on site. I did a lot of soldering at my previous employment. I wish I had a soldering machine here; we could do a lot more repairs. I think it's generational, Chris. Younger...

I'm certainly not starving, but getting to the later years in my career. I have had a hobby doing photography for many years, and I recently started exploring that semi professionally. My nature...

We haven't been impressed by them either. On this order, I was expecting a standard, molded, round seg, so I wasn't happy about the order being made digitally without communicating the change.

I ordered an Rd 22 for a pair of golf glasses in transitions. I received them today and got a digitally ground blended Rd 22. I didn't like the wide blend zone, so we have to remake it in an Rd 24.

Some patients with high Rxs cannot see what the glasses look like without their own glasses on. Taking a selfie enables them to view the frame. We sometimes take the pictures for them. You might...
