I have on occasion tried to use, say, 1/2 a sheet for some prices and then use the remainder another time. Problem is that the partially used sheets sometimes get hung up in the printer (I use an HP...

:D We've tried through the years just about every type of frame tag out there. I finally came up with one that works out quite well for us, although it's not clear, but white. We use Avery...

Check the Progressive Lens Forum here on the OptiBoard website. There are all kinds of discussions, links, graphs, etc. I know it was a great resource for me when I recently wrote an article for...

:cool: Yeah, it's me in the bidding for the Job Coach. Sorry to be bidding against you Darryl. My Job Coach was stolen (along with some other very valuable stuff) by a former employee. It had...

In California a typical dispensary can have up to three "licenses" (a misnomer, as you are actually "registered", not "licensed"):


RDO: Stands for Registered Dispensing Optician, and...

I have 3 cutters: One of them, the oldest, requires that you remove the lens table, place a pattern on the spindle, replace the lens table, then score the lens. I also have the Shuron model shown...

We're in kind of a similar situation as Opticaljim- we have three stores, but unfortunately they're far apart from each other as well from our "corporate" office. The closest store to our office is...

I won't get started on the subject of ophthalmologists dispensing except to say that I am of course against it. When dispensing by M.D.'s started becoming prevalent here in California there were a...

Couple of points I'd like to add that are probably only tenuously connected to this thread:

Ed, for a quick education re VSP in California and other vision care providers such as ECN/MES, contact...

I'll have to weigh in with For-Life and CME4SPECS.


We display over 800 frames in each of our three stores, but probably 400 to 500 of them are, as For-Life described them, "Wallpaper". As we...

Don't know if there's a distributor in NZ- you can call Joshua Freilich at Western Optical Supply, 800.423.3294, or e-mail him: freilich@westernoptical.com.


Hope this helps.

Western Optical Supply (800- 423-3294). Best quality I've found so far, especially for the price ($2.99 for a pkg of 10 pair). They carry the 9mm round, D-Shape and symmetricals, both screw post...

Hi All,

I've managed to acquire (it's a long story) 190 brand new diamond wheels to fit hand edgers such as ones made by AIT, Nu-Tec, etc. Grit sizes on these wheels range from fine to rough...

My last name is Guess. You can imagine the jokes, puns, etc. I suffered through in my school years (I still get the occasional one to this day!). I still have a scar on my face due to my answer to...

I'm also looking for a B&L Job Coach (mine was stolen, and I miss it dearly!), am only too happy to pay a fair price for one, or even just Xerox copies of one.

Try e-bay. I have a number of complete antique trial lens sets (none of them are for sale by the way), and I picked up two of them on e-bay (type "optical lenses" or "lenses" in the search box). ...

When we get such a request (and I think all of us do at one time or another) we show the customer a polarized gray 3 lens (Younger's glare box does a great job) and explain how we can give them a...

If they're what I'm thinking of, we call them "blue dots", and are available from Signet-Armorlite (3M distributor in the U.S.) and other supply houses that stock lab needs (DAC, etc.). They work...

Any of you folks out there happen to have a long- discontinued Carrera #5411 sunglass? That particular model is a zyl front with metal temples. Would prefer it in the light brown/cognac kinda color...

bobgaskins was right on when he recommended Gerry Bundy. In addition to Gerry, I would also recommend Mike Tiernan of Tiernan Opticians in San Carlos. I'm not terribly familiar with driving times...

We drill out screws only as a last resort- instead we use Western Optical's "ShootOut" tool. It will remove screws from temples or eyewire barrels 99% of the time. The only caveat I have is that...

A long time ago (prior to the development of stretch sock CL's and lens implants) I specialized in the CL fitting of aphakes. While most of my patients were older folks I also had my share of young...

Kevin,

You might be referring to Lotus Optical Group- they have a line of 3 piece rimless (along with a bunch of other stuff). They're located in South El Monte, CA, phone number is (626)...

I've been both an exhibitor and an attendee since the first "Optifairs" began. Since I first started exhibiting at an Optifair the price has gone from $10/SF to $25/SF, with a minimum 100 SF...
