I am having a hard time getting some fair market values for some of my equipment, so anyone who can help even with rough estimates that would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have.
Loh V-50...

Thanks everyone for the good input, and yes I was referring to Anti Reflective coatings. I had no idea that the process can make the lens brittle. I am guessing it apply mostly to CR39? Or would it...

I just talked to a lady from another lab who was told by a rep that some types of anti glare on certain lenses are considered to be voiding safety rated lenses? I'm not 100% on what types she is...

This is exactly why backside AR as well, whether you notice it or not UV light IS bouncing off the back of your lens especially on smaller frames. And also for the stronger myops it will reduce...

Those damn things are a pain in the butt and as far as I can tell the posts are either smashed or warmed or both with a special tool and as far as I have seen they may be a one time use and you need...

We only recently delt with this, we gave the cops the tape and the frame model, color and all box numbers, they actually recognized the guy and busted him wearing his "hot" Maui Jims walking down...

So basicaly I'm wasting my time without a gas enviroment around the weld it sounds like and probably have got lucky on some due to the type of titanium. It seems to work ok on Flexon frames and...

Most lenses plastic, poly whatever are all cribbed in the lab unless they are for a huge frame and yes cribbing lenses saves wear and tear on the edger, saves on coating costs, and helps with getting...

I am soldering with an acetylene torch with a very small flame, I got some new titanium flux and wire for titanium. Some frames come out good enough to wear and even polish up good, but some are so...

Thanks for that info I had no idea anyone made them in Trivex, there is a couple non digital round 24's by Aris trans and clear.

We deal with quite a few kids and split pupil jobs, in my experience with or without downs the youngsters handle the round segs better, they are just less distracting, you can get a few different...

For the old folks home we did it as a courtesy, sometimes we would get some sales out of it, it was mostly for dispensing and repairing for people who couldn't make into our shop.

I have heard of a number of different strategies for trying to separate slag from alloy, this is my own very simple yet very effective method and it has blown the minds of everyone I have shown.

The main problem I have on hand right now is tracking down a CR39 polarized brown Trifocal, if anyone knows where to get that other than KBco please let me know.

Well said,
For any lens as well, before you even dot a pt. you should adjust the frame for that person, nose pads, temple curve, pano or retro, because even with SV the stronger the rx the more...

Also you can tint on polarized lenses to alter color a bit but you must do so before it is edged to shape to avoid delaminating.

It's never a bad idea to dot the center of the pupil on any SV and use that for you're OC when blocking to avoid unwanted prism.

Talked to KBco this morning the problem still exists, they have people working around the clock on the issue but still no idea when it will be fixed. Hold the lenses to a digital pc screen or a...

KBco is still running, they are E owned and have been for a while but I just talked to them this morning, they are having a terrible coating problem for their polarized flat tops at the moment and...

We did some nursing home dispensing a few years ago and it was not hard to coordinate it, but I tell you it can be one hell of a ride, we also let the home know we were there to do adjustments as...

Thank you sir.

I ride a motorcycle with no windshield and I wear a half helmet, I like having polarized grey Poly lenses and Alize front and back, as said above it greatly reduces the eyeball reflection on the back...

So it's been almost two months now of cleaning a polarized poly SV lens with Alize many times a day with 90% alc. and no bad effects, the lens looks brand new still.

Hear here!! The Panamic was a great lens.
