Had to giggle a bit at this. Recently in our high end boutique we implemented this policy for all solid gold pieces to be shown. We carry several from $8K-15K! This is really the only instance...

Bates Display has the trays we use. Our trays have six slots and are very portable and look classy. Not plastic or wood. Microsuede fabric is easy to keep clean. Enjoy them....

We've sold it for about six months. The sizing on the ophtalmics is quite small and doesn't fir wider faces. I think it is fun and hip and a little crazy...but it is different. Great detail and...

When she was running crazy all over California a few weeks back, I caught a glimpse of her with the demo lenses still in an opti frame. It was a Vogue frame. Wonder if this is the same frame with the...

I have lived in China for 6 months now and WOW! CJZL's right....don't knock it till you try it. The people here are very hardworking and gracious. They have treated this "fish out of water"...

I have been using the trays from Bates for years. I work at a high end retailer and the trays are great for keeping track of the frames you are showing. They also help eliminate scratches on the...

I sell them all the time. Just like anything else if it is not treated properly it will fall apart. The collection is one of the top seller's at our location. Most people know the name and own a...

Sorry you had to go through all of that Harry. I have my own LC/Lux horror stories! I figure that eventually every one that has a connection to either one will too. Unfortunate. :( The only thing you...

The one and only... LOL Looking to re-locate?


Let me know.

The glasses you described are Chrome Hearts frames. The manufacturer is OSA (Optical Shop of Aspen). I can get you the exact name of the model tomorrow. Not at work right now. A great design! ...

Need experienced sales people/opticians for new optical establishment on Rodeo Drive. Looking for the "cream of the crop." Only the best need apply. Please contact me on this site or E-mail resume...

Al - Keep on going. No such thing as too much education! You have the drive that is lacking in our industry. Opticians I have met and spoken to lately (the last four days!) are either burnt out and...

Clear them out ! Don't forget to advise customer that no warranty will be offered on clearence merchandise. This has helped us in the past. Order something different. Your customer will thank you for...

Are you coming to Vision Expo West? I manage several high end optical boutiques here and would love to invite you to visit! I also have worked for chain stores in the past and what I do now I...

I've been employed by both franchises and independents over the past 15 years in this business. When I was a manager of the franchise I FELT like an employee. Working for an independent for the last...

Jan,

I totally understand your point about licensing but are you going to sit around and wait for 20 years of lobbying for state licensing or are you going to seize the day and get paid what you...

Other companies should take lessons. I've been in the high end optical market for a "few" years and any product that can create buzz months before it hits the market always does well...initially. I...

Jan,

Are you a licensed optician in Washington state? If so, you should definately
be making top dollar. Don't sell yourself short. I try to renegotiate my salary about every 12-18 months. I...

Great site. I work in Las Vegas and I think your site will help me in this
very different market. Thank you for taking the time to tap in to a subject area that in mostly ignored in our industry.

Opticians wanted for independent high end optical retailer. Great working enviroment with benefit package. Optical experience preferred. Also have positions available for dynamic sales people. Please...

That price sounds just about right. We sell them in our shop. Have never had any problems with the quality. Great quality and colors. GO FOR IT !:)

It looks like a Dior frame I have on the shelf. I'm
off for the next two days but I'll get the style number for you.
It looks burgundy, too. That is one of the colors this particular Dior frame...

One of the gems was the lady who insisted she get the
same "transexual" lenses her other optician gave her before.
I want to meet that guy!!!

Vegas meets NYC! Can't wait... And it's my birthday. See you all there.

Lead by example! 90% of the lenses I sell have AR coatings!

Everyone comments on my lenses! I wear a variety of different frames (all Black Zyl) and everyone wants the "invisible" look of
my...
