When I used a 2g we averaged 3-5 minutes per poly lens depending on the Rx, with the average closer to 5 minutes.

We could really use EOH or someone similar right now. Inquiring minds want to know !! ;-)
We get at least one pair in a week with delamination issues. May of them are coming back for the second or third time. We try and switch them out to plastic Transitions when ever possible.

I don't believe you need to keep up your ABO / NCLE. I let both of mine lapse, and I have been able to renew my GA license without a problem. You just need to make sure you get your GA CEs.

That was cool, but I was hoping that it was going to be a video of the "Will it Blend ?" guy putting a Semi finished Poly lens blank into his super blender.
I bet the ant kingdom is running away...
I also vote for the B&L 70 I can spot a lens much quicker with that than our Auto Lensometer.
Are using mostly Poly for Plastic Polarized ? I am guessing plastic, since the raw edge of a poly lens won't take a tint. We used to use the Camoflage Pens, but can't get them anymore. If you ask...
