Practice would help, yes. Good tools would help, too. The problem is lack of man power. I completely agree with the opticians learning to do this, but we have no time for training.

Yeah, I know, stupid question in general. However, causing problems in my office.

Our opticians, while having the knowledge to put together a drill mount, do not have the skill or practice to do a...

Our doctors want to try PFO Global for low end, emergency or back-up glasses. They have PAL lenses called "identity" and "acuity" which they have told me is their own lens and they throw out the term...

We had a guy with the monster noggin, solution for us was to put him in a safety frame! Some of those are really large.

Does anyone know if Signature is still in business? We try to call, can't get through. Got through once and then the phone line went dead. We've been waiting on a frame from them since November.

In our dispensary they always give me the difficult patients. Apparently they think I have a skill for working with the crazy ones because before I became an optician I worked as a Special Ed Aide in...

"Cosecant of the fourth lateral sub sub quadrant of Europa in 2061 as viewed from the 8th binary dimension by HAL?"

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Thanks! :smug:

I picked up a patient from doctor's lane last night and he told her that we do 18 different measurements for a persons glasses order.
Okay, I was blindsided and I will totally admit I do not know...

Totally agree. In any business it is best to create and foster an atmosphere of "TEAM" work.

Our doctor has an "it's my business, sit down and shut up" attitude. Sure, he may be the owner, pay...

We have gotten Como Baby's a few times, haven't had any problems. We get them from Hilco.

Well, I must be as mean as you because I FREAKING love your idea!

Thanks Dick. I've tried searching online, but I'm coming up with nothing. But thanks!

So I'm guessing no one has heard of a kind of plastic "shield" or "barrier" that might hang from the bottom of a pupilmeter?
My co-worker told me to hold my breath. I tried that but the patient...

I don't look too good in orange but where can I get the white one? Do they come in pink?

;)

So..... Do I get to wear the mask? ('cause then it looks like I'm the sick one) Or do I force the patient to wear it? ('cause how do you politely request that?)

Last winter I had a patient who (hack, hack, cough, sniffle, sneeze, hack) was a "little" sick. She claimed "allergies" but I sounded the same as her in a week and I don't recall allergies being...

Thank you Jubilee. Another good idea I'll pass on to our front desk.

...but please don't judge.

I'm facing some health issues. I know eventually I will have to work from home. Not possible in my current office.

However, does anyone know if places like Zenni or...

Wish our scheduling was that easy! We have different appointments for different reasons. Learning all the reasons and the time for a certain type of appointments and the fact that our doctors are...

Thank you Hayde. It's difficult growing and we have been growing fast. So hiccups are expected. But what do other opticals do? Do they stop at the front desk to schedule an appointment if doctor...

We were really really small 11 years ago. Jobs were interchangeable. Everyone could do everything. Then we got bigger. And bigger. Then we went to Williams Group for help. They told us to divide the...

Robert; thanks but...
I couldn't find anything there about the time limit or lack there of concerning contact lens prescriptions. So I still do not know if someone can have a 2 year contact RX.
(I...

Does anyone know if in Wisconsin doctors can prescribe for 2 years? I have someone at my optical who says in Wisconsin it is illegal for a doctor to do a 2 year contact prescription. Anyone?
Thanks...

I'm still lost. I've been told that Definity (Essilor) was the first dual sided digital lens. Then there are lenses which are all back side, not split.
So, baby stepping backwards, dual split or...
