I was just wondering how long the optical pro's on here keep a slow selling frame on the board before you have the rep return it or start marking the slow sellers down? We just did a (long...

Good job Virginia! In addition to a few other states (Colorado, Utah, NJ) that are passing similar laws there is a push by the AOA at the national level with the Dental and Optometric Care (DOC)...

Arkansas passed the Vision Care Act in 2015 that forbids vision care plans from forcing you to use their lab. Several other states have passed similar legislation so this has some momentum. I was...

Thanks for that number Andrew, it took awhile but we got through on it.

5 or 6 hours on hold for us over the last 2 work days and we still never got through. We are just trying to place an online order and it won't let us complete it. I finally dropped NVA, Avesis, and...

I was looking at them too and I think it's a scam site. Looks real but the prices are too low and there are a couple of things on the ripoff report about them (links below). Unless I had an escrow...

I guess it's a lot easier when you have a brick and mortar location and control over the OD's license at that location. They just made their life so miserable that they no longer wanted to do...

The Arkansas State Board of Optometry ran America's Best out of the state for their violations in false advertising and quickie exams. It's too bad other state boards are so passive and allow the...

Hey Dave, congrats on getting rid of that boat anchor and getting the Excelon! I hope I get to see it in action soon. Also, congrats on getting Tyler Wilson on the Raiders to go along with DMac....

We started reusing the leftover foam laps. It's cut my ordering down to about half of what it used to be. Just wanted to pass it on in case you aren't already reusing them.

Thanks for the info Jacqui and WFruit. Also, thanks for the profile offer WFruit but I think I'm going to continue to use the outside lab for now but I may look into a smaller backside coater if...

We have a Gerber SGX generator and we have been ordering out our Trivex to be surfaced at an outside lab and letting them put the Crizal w/ SG on it there. If I want to surface it in my lab does it...

We use the tried and true "will that be cash, check or charge?". Then let them speak first. Maybe we need to change that to "cash, debit, or charge?" since I'm thinking about not taking checks...

Thanks to you too Harry. I thought I remembered the -30 number from when I bought it but it kind of sounds like a new feature on that PDF you attached. Maybe it's been at that -30 number for a few...

Thanks Jacqui! The number -30 had stuck in my head from when I purchased it years ago but I wasn't sure I was remembering that correctly. The highest I've ever had to examine was a -25 and that was...

I was wondering if anyone knows the range of powers (ballpark) that a Gerber SGX can cut using the foam laps? I'd say the generator is about 5 or 6 years old.

I think my lab is spending a fortune...

Fant Eye Care in Texarkana, Texas, is seeking an Optometrist to cover Friday's at our office. We have a modern 5,000 sq ft primary care facility with a friendly, trained staff and a full 1 hour lab....

Thanks for all the responses, I'm saving this thread in case we have another issue like this I'll have some ideas to work with. And no DragonLensman, I verified he didn't barf in the polish :eek:...

My lab guy got sick and had to go home early today so I'll have to wait until he gets back (hopefully tomorrow) to ask him for answers on these good questions. I'll post more info tomorrow if he's...

I'm definitely not a lab guru and I have a somewhat new guy in the lab that is having problems with our Gerber polisher putting swirls on the lenses. He's tried different pads and new pins but it...

I had to bite the bullet and order a refurb tracer from Gerber. I'm out of town until Tuesday and jobs are piling up back at my office. It's about $3,500 with a trade in :eek: and only a 90 day...

The tracing table for my Kappa edger apparently has bit the dust. Comes on but won't trace. Any ideas?

Also, if I can't fix it does anyone have any leads on where I might find a refurb (already...

I am looking for some blocking software as we speak. I don't mind the occasional peek at MSN home page but sites such as Facebook and MySpace are like crack to some otherwise good employees. I...
