    Basic Tracer/Edger Recommendations

    Hi there, we are considering updating our tracer and edger. We don't do super high volume, maybe 500-700 jobs a year. We are fine with sending drill mount and wrap work out. Any recommendations...

    If it's within ANSI tolerance, good luck getting your lab to do a lab remake.

    175.00 all photochromic, but 100.00 for Transitions Gen 7 when added on to one of our SV or PAL packages. A year ago we still did all photochromic for 100.00, but we were losing out big time based...

    Hilco only has a few adult zyl styles and Chemistrie isn't OTC, it is a custom made clip on, right? Why do that when you can just do a blue AR on SV lenses?

    Kid's Blue AR Readers

    My OD wants us to start carrying OTC blue AR readers in kid's styles. We currently use blue AR readers from Ron's, but they don't have any kid's sizes. Has anyone seen anything like this from an...

    Sensity is too dark. Perhaps even a bit more than Transitions Xtra. Also not impressed with the clarity indoors, at least with the first generation Sensity we tried.

    Why would I remove the lenses, clean eyewire and lens edges, and reassemble, when the lab is going to be disassembling the frame anyway? CLEANING only takes a few seconds. If my lab is too lazy to...

    It is obtuse to pretend that all patients want the highest standard of quality. I would wager MOST want just 'good', not excellent. Especially when they never have to opportunity to do a side by...

    Agreed. Done. The lens size is slightly larger which is likely a contributing factor, but pt likes the frame and it is pretty small at 46 eye. Vertex distance is reduced as much as possible.

    Thanks Robert. The Clarity DOES have a generous distance- or so say Hoya and most of my myopic patients. Trying a Seiko Surmount in 1.74 per lab recommendation- will let you know how she does.

    The second part of that sentence is the important one, and that is very grey. For most minors, 'implied consent' governs medical care.
