    Lab Insight you've hit the nail right on the head here - brick and mortars can be competitive with online! A lot of these older guys never had to compete with anyone other than the other opticals in...

    Referring to DrK's response to Don earlier in the thread.

    Not sure why you feel the need to launch personal attacks when someone presents a view you disagree with. Ad hominem remarks are counterproductive to useful discussion. And as it happens you're...
  4. Edger getting axis wrong - but just on one eye?

    Hey guys, hoping somebody can help me out with a technical problem. Our edger is screwing up the axis but only in one eye - the right comes out 10-15 degrees too high, but the left is bang on... I...

    Lol you can't even remember what names you called who... I shudder to think what you're like in person. Don't work for Coastal either, keep guessing bunny rabbit

    Straw man argument? Lol in the words of Inigo Montoya, I don't think that word means what you think it means. Pretty sure I've been using analogies and comparisons to other fields, not constructing...
  7. Yeah don't need a doc for OTC tylenol and tylenol...

    Yeah don't need a doc for OTC tylenol and tylenol can do more harm to you than glasses. Doesn't find disease just treats the symptoms. It's ok for non-ocular health but somehow this field is...
  8. Well DrK you are in the Canadian forum... also...

    Well DrK you are in the Canadian forum... also I'd take Canada's healthcare system over the USA's any day of the week, even though my eye exams are no longer covered. By the way, this is the second...
  9. Fair enough fjpod, and thanks for your insight. ...

    Fair enough fjpod, and thanks for your insight. I just wonder why it's ok to self diagnose and buy OTC medicine for non-ocular health, but for ocular health it's not ok to get "OTC" glasses to treat...
  10. Good point, not going to argue with you. That's...

    Good point, not going to argue with you. That's why you guys are infinitely more valuable than an autorefractor. Again, I think we should all get eye exams regularly, just like we should have a...

    Lol winding you up just became my new favourite hobby drk! I'm not attacking anybody, just thinking out loud and seeing what kind of feedback I get. Turns out that feedback is mostly...

    Doesn't a phoropter just "try on" different lenses? Doesn't an OD's refraction rely on patient feedback? Seems fairly similar to someone trying on readers until they find a pair that works. ...

    optical 24/7 I love your response! I made a similar analogy somewhere else on optiboard, if a guy doesn't go in for his full physical regularly he shouldn't be restricted from buying tylenol for his...

    Hi everybody, I'm in British Columbia and thinking of going to school to become an optician. I already work in the optical field, but there are no actual opticians at the company I work for so I...

    I think rbaker might be right when he says "Optometry and Ophthalmology will soon merge into a single profession". I'm still something of a novice in the optics world, but to me this makes some...
