In my opinion, although I wear both the Physio and the Definity short, I would try in the Physio. I like both lenses. I've not heard that the Physio is available in Trivex so you may have to give...

I always send my work to an out lab to calculate slab off prism. As an Optician you must recognize when it is needed and leave the rest up to the labbies that are good at slabbing off. I always...
Go Ice Tech lenses! I am delighted to hear that you went ahead and let an outside lab that has the proper technology do that job for you. When you explain to a patient that their prescription needs...
Harry, wouldn't the bowl effect of the lenticular carrier tend to make the lenses look weird?? I understand that they would be aspheric but i am getting a mental picture of how it would look in such...
Thanks for all the information on this subject. I agree that the BC of the frames lenses should always be considered as an important aspect of how the glasses will turn out. Some RX's just won't go...
I think some of us deviated from your original questions which i interpreted as checking mono pd's in progressive lenses. I always check with a ruler from the center of the bridge and leave the...
I often encounter pt's that are high myopes that want the wrap sunglass frames. Currently I use Shamir's Piccolo with Attitude to compensate for the curve issues. Does KBco have a lens that does...
I also agree that the crew should be using the markings provided by the mfgr to line the lenses up for surfacing. This is just common sense. Have you been making sure that the surfacing equipment...
I understand what you are asking. You wanna know how to tell standard plastic from higher index materials. For example, Trivex, although not high index has a different color hue than standard...
When in doubt ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS call the prescribing Dr to find out. For example, if i have prism in the lenses and want to split it to make the glasses look better, I always call the Dr. before...
I have been wearing my Drivewear lenses for several months. I must admit that while out on the motorcycle i've forgot to take them off as it was getting dark. My vision was just so comfortable in...
I agree with Harry in that you should make sure the clock is calibrated correctly. Also, now with aspheric lens designs on front and back surfaces it makes it harder to measure not only the BC's but...
This pt certainly needs eye protection. I would use a full field aspheric lens design in a safe lens material. Standard plastic would be too thick and not safe. The main issue here is to protect...
I like both the beads and the hot air blower. I find the hot air blower doesn't marr the surface of zyl frames as much as the beads do. However, the one pic of the blower in one of these replies...
Funny that most of the responses support employees being cross trained. We all are customers and pts in our private lives so why not take the attitude as "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THAT IS NOT MY...
I think it would be great if the pupilometer had more wrap to it or a way of adjusting it to compensate for wrap and tilt. Does anyone know of something like that available? :drop: This would...
REM is definitely a good frame company that supports its products. You never have a problem returning for warranty and the frames are of decent quality. The Rembrandt line is at a decent price...
I have dispensed many PAL's over the years and it is rare that a patients brain can differentiate the equithinning. Fortunately it is used primarily for the hyperope since corrective lenses for them...
The saying "Words are Silver" but "Silence is Golden" mean alot to me. Often I think patients are afraid to speak up when it comes to complaining about their new RX's. They feel as though we will...
I can't disparage ARC's but I can suggest if the patient is happy with Crizal that she would probably love Crizal Alize with clearguard. I know that some manufacturers coatings can't be put on other...
Hello to one of my favorite people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Your explanation of free form technology was much appreciated and extremely well worded. You always deliver!! I am...
I think your correct in saying that Alcon got exactly what they wanted by advertising with the yellow hardhat. Everyone is talking, aren't they??
I have mixed views about unions, somewhere in the middle like most of us. Speaking from experience, I was at one time a member of a union and I had a very difficult job. My job was a trainer of new...
