I just recently came across SHAW© Lenses and how their algorithms are supposed to correct for any form of aniseikonia. While I'm...
Tura has multiple lines that would fit within that price point - Titanflex is one of our bestselling men's lines and Humphrey's (they make both men's and women's frames, but we sell way more of the...
What, with all this talk about naked lenses taking a dip and whatnot? I couldn't [insert sarcasm font here] possibly imagine why.
As for answering your questions, yeah, I've got nothing.
I wanted to get a socially-distanced and virtual feel from the community about their stance towards the concept of discount frames and how they might diminish the high-luster polish of an optical...
Not to pimp out a local (to me) company that I work with on difficult repair jobs, but I'm going to pimp out a local company that I work with on difficult repair jobs. Northwest Frame Repair...
Shamir's Computer and Workspace designs have different focal lengths. Per Shamir, the Computer design is a compensated design with a focal distance up to 5 feet, better for patients that live in...
I don't work with VSP and the line of UNITY© products, but I second the Shamir lenses. Shamir's Computer or Workspace are my go-to near variable focus option, and I also do a little with Hoya's iD...
On a related note, has anyone had any experience in dispensing or wearing the Varilux Comfort Max©? A rep from a lab I work with gave a middling-to-slightly positive review, though she said the jury...
I concur with this assessment. I've had an easy time dispensing the LifeStyle Indoors flavor to patients that expressed greater need for intermediate/near work. I did have one patient that...
As far as I know, most Metlife plans contract with VSP. On the list of managed care discount plans, I'd say going from Versant to VSP is an upgrade in customer service at least.
Are you referring to the Hoya Safety lab in Minnesota? If so, I have the email address of a customer service rep from that location that works. I too have difficulties getting a hold of them by...
Hoya's iD Lifestyle series has a very similar design to the Definity, and I have little problems dispensing that to patients. The LifeStyle 3 comes in three designs (Indoor, Urban or Outdoor) and if...
That was my nickname in college.
The change in VSP reimbursement has been postponed until January 1, 2021.
Based on the diamonds being used for the Progressive markers, I'd guess it's an X-CEL Freedom ID, but that's just an educated guess. Is it by chance a glass lens? I know the Freedom ID is the go-to...
If the patient has VSP insurance, it sounds like it could be the Unity Via Plus, that's my best guess.
We here at Optiboard are a cultured group. We prefer 'derrière' as a synonym for 'butt'.
That's all I really need to take away from this. And somehow, I need to incorporate this into my everyday vernacular with patients.
"Sir, you're right, that's not a bad option, but THIS lens is...
Hilco has a 'Polarized Filter Tester' available if you have an account with them.
Transitions XtrActive always has a slight tint, even indoors, but only ~5-10% and will darken to a 30-40% tint even behind a windshield.
Drivewear is polarized and never clear - the color changes...
I was welcomed with the news that the owner of the main lab I use just announced his retirement and his assets are going to be assimilated to a nearby Essilor lab. The closing lab in question was...
This is news to me. I work with a Hoya lab here in the states and I've never even heard of Enroute before. Just looked through my most recent Hoya reference guide from earlier this year and I see...
Nothing like resurrecting an old thread, but I distinctly recall the VSP rep I used to work with at my last job telling me about the benefits of the "cascading variable base curves" of their PLX...
I do what I can :D
