Really? Have you ever stopped to think about all of the daily activities that occur in that mid range? Cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, bathing the dog, bathing the babies, the dashboard of...
Seriously! I had a patient with that plan last week....almost went and applied for a job at Home Depot!
I'm sorry, but online refraction is not "vision care". That app doesn't give a crap about that patient's overall eye health. Sure, they state that people with a history of eye disease aren't...
But it's really fun!
There is no giant database that holds everyone's prescription all over the world. If you weren't seen at my office, I do not have access to your prescription.
Oh, my god, yes. In a previous job, we had a patient who had been seen at two different locations under three different variants of her name at each, for a total of six different charts.
Or the...
When I tell you that I will call you when your glasses are ready, it means that I will call you when your glasses are ready. It is not a request for you to call me twice a day to see if your glasses...
About adjustments:
Human heads are not shaped like the counter top. I don't care if your glasses aren't perfectly level when you put them on the counter. How do they fit your face?
Handing me...
"love seeing the ones where peoples eyebrows are inside the lens"
Whenever I have a patient choosing glasses that go that high, I tell them that eyebrows can't see, so they don't need glasses.
Is there a website for more information? Salary, etc.?
You may not have access to the calculator during your exam, so go to this site: http://www.flashcardmachine.com/abo-optical4.html and scroll down a little way. You will find a chart that shows what...
Yes! What's-his-name..on the Capitol One commercials with the round glasses too small for his head. The other occupational hazard is noticing actors whose eyes don't track together correctly. ...
Part of Sears' decline is, sadly, their own fault. Their business practices have declined horribly. I bought an upright freezer from them a couple of years ago. Two days later, I discovered that...
When I first moved from a big-box retail optical to a private practice, I was a bit lost, suddenly tossed into this big world of PALs that I'd barely heard of. The account manager from our lab turned...
Are there some AR coatings that are just more prone to crazing? Where I work now sells primarily Crizal Avance, and I swear this stuff crazes if you breath on it too heavily. The Zeiss coating from...
I have to agree with you. I grew up in the 70's/80's, when our reality was actual, and not virtual, so we got plenty of vitamin D, and am now a -7.00. However, in adult hood I've become...
On the topic of lens blanks, where I work, we carry aspheric poly lens blanks with Avance in stock. Recently, due one of the opticians accidentally ordered aspheric poly lenses with Avance for the...
I've seen in various places on this board, people recommending this lens specifically for hyperopes. What about myopes? Is it as good for high myopes as well?
I'm actually in the market for new PAL lenses for myself. I've done a lot of research, and EVERY PAL lens map that I've seen shows two distinct areas of distortion, one on each side of the lens, due...
I actually like the system Walmart uses for this. It's a vinyl cling with a red line that sticks to the lens and is repositioned until the patient feels that they are looking directly through the...
I apologize for not catching my over zealous auto correct.
<Banging head on desk..can't take any more>
You don't "loose" money. You LOSE money. LOSE = present tense of lost; to misplace, to become gone. LOOSE = not tight.
"If the noose is loose,...
This is what my original guess was. Can you still find frames like these? What would they be called?
This frame showed up in a Lion's Club donation box at my former job. Unfortunately they had a strict policy, and we were not allowed to keep it.
The lower portion was beveled, as if a second lens...
