Thanks!
Hi,
this year we will do a remake of our practise. We grew quite a bit in the last years in terms of inventory and number of people coming in. Sadly we can't move to a bigger location, so we have to...
Hello,
if anybody is selling, I'm looking to buy the Tonoref II.
Regards, Marin
Thank you very much for your input!
Hi,
at the moment we offer basis refraction exams and charge very little for them. In big parts of Europe exams are usually free when customers buy their glasses in the shop. I've been thinking...
Hello,
does anybody have a solution to convert svg, .ai or .dxf to OMA trace file?
It would be much easier to draw a rimless shape in CAD and than convert it to OMA, than what we are doing right...
Thank you all for the input. This is really a method of last resort. Sadly we had to do it a few times and it's better than nothing.
Thank you. To clarify, 3mm below 50% of the frame height? That sound very low, no?
We tried that (getting the frames to them first to have them marked), but it didn't work. There is not enough staff to do it and everything is chaotic.
That is a very good tip, to measure it on ourselves, thanks!
Hello,
we are slowly but steadily approaching the fourth wave of the pandemic here in Europe. In the last year and half we had to do quite a few glasses for people in retirement homes who were not...
We use a NBL EZF it as well. For exactly a year now. I'm glad we bought it, it makes life much easier, and we are able to do better glasses because of it. Very easy to maintain and also their support...
Hello,
I bought a thousand face shield to donate to my local hospital and it turns out they only needed 500pcs because they already received another donation. I have 500pcs left if somebody needs...
Hello,
we accidentally threw away the manual for our tracer. Does anybody have it in PDF? For Hoya GT 5000.
Cheers, Marin
No idea, but I would think it doesn't matter as long as it's the same for all.
I was thinking about the same lens with different AR. So for example 4 different Essilor Ormix's: Prevencia, Forte, Alize and Easy. Setup would be a single led light, lens in the middle, camera on...
Hello,
I know about the AR test that tests durability (stratching, boiling the lens...), but I would like to teste the vision differences. I guess that would mean for example how much distortion...
We places the order for a MEI EzFit NoBlock, but for the meantime we have to buy another edger (something cheap) to keep up with the work.
I have a good offer for Nidek/Santinelli LEX1000 Express....
But in this setup (with 7EX) you also have to manually center and mark the lens on a lensmeter, no? Is one person doing all this three steps (marking, blocking, edging)?
What I love (in theory) with...
Are you using an automatic blocker or a manual one?
Thank you for the feedback. Are you counting with blocking included or strictly edging?
Thank you.
We are in Europe and we don't have National Optronics.
We only sell our own designs, so all frames are already traced. All full frame acetate. We do 75% 1.5/1.56 and 25% 1.6/1.67, all...
Sorry for bothering you so much, but I'm almost sure we will purchase it and I would like to get as much info as possible.
What bits are you talking about? Can you change the bits above yourself or...
Hello, any updates regarding the EZFit NBL, @lensmanmd?
How many jobs/day are you doing on it? Any replacements on the machine? Any problem with blocking or something else?
Cheers, Marin
