    This looks like a really cool set-up.

    I was told the change in formula has something to do with the polarizing molecules being shrunk- though I can't remember why that was supposed to matter...

    It is always best to have physical samples of tints, mirrors, ARs, pretty much anything that can give the patient an idea of what they are asking for. That being said- I always describe tinting as...

    I Have a Challenging Patient

    Let me start off by saying, she is not a burden.

    This patient is one I inherited from a previous optician who is taking some time off due to burning out- normal case for me with this company....

    The other day I, a former surfacing lab manager, sold a FT polar lens to fit in the patient's own frame- the Oakley SplitShot... which has a 64 eye and 71 ED.

    What was I thinking?? I would need...

    Ah, that makes much more sense. We are still mostly conventional for SV as well. I can see how a doctor's recommendation makes all the difference for that upgrade.

    And as for brands- my only...

    Lateral move for sure- I find it strange any dealer would recommend such a baby step. Save up for a bigger upgrade if that is the route your optical is on. Otherwise, any SGX will get you by for your...
