All boards of opticianry can give opinions that are "Quasi-judicial" In Florida normally is done case by case. Investigated and then referred to the board for "sentencing". The process is lenghty....
As long as there are state laws that require optical establsihments licensure and licensed opticians, it is illegal for internet sites to operate in that particular state. Every eyewear dispensed in...
Online sites are illegal but who really has jurisdiction on this?
Sure they require fitting , but the public is ignorant and feel that measuring a PD , Seg height, material and base curve selection then in top of that pre and post dispensing adjustment carries no...
Just picture this....
National Healthcare...
Eyeglasses covered...
Internet opticals advertising on TV that they accept and file Medicare and national insurance ...just like the diabetic ads or...
The reason we feel threaten is that everyone has devalued the services that we provide as opticians or optical owners. Optics is a very complicated field that has been fragmented into many little...
I thought VSP required electronic claims for higher reimbursement.
Refraction by opticians is not new news until is independently practiced by the very few independent opticians that are left in practice. Optometry has nothing to worry with us, even if we elevate...
I dont know about you guys but online eyeglasses are very dangerous as they do not comply with ANSI standards at all. I have had patients come in with lenses that are super thin to the point of...
All those titles is what the problem is...
The ONLY way we are going to advance is to require every new optician to pass a comprehensive test and a practical test of what opticianry is suppose to...
Check the tension belts on the machine. If they are loose you may need to replace them. It is a bear to replace those belts. I think the elite has them as well as your edger. The tension belts do...
I was told that this tracer has an ethernet card and that the com 1 port is not there. I have not open the tracer but according to optronics this tracer model only communicates via the ethernet...
Any programs available for a 4T with ethernet card no COM 1 port working. Friend has designed a program but there are some glitches. Any ideas.

Drs redo are a very sticky subject because the doctor feels that if they do the recheck at no charge we should do the same in our end. The problem is that their time can be donated in five minutes...
I always wondered why some independent (OPT, ODs and OMDs) are so dumb that they buy from those companies that are in direct competition with them. There are plenty of companies to buy from. trust no...
Optometry school is not the only place that teaches refraction. Almost all Opticianry schools do. Also all of the ophthalmic technologist and technicians programs do. Some offer Masters of Ophthalmic...
We all dream of making good wages nothing wrong with it. We as opticians cannot dream of that until we have uniformity across the board as far as licensing and scope of practice. The training of...
I dont understand your point Chip. If you mean just simply touching the face or the frame,I am not sure of that, but someone in an non od/omd owned optical there must be an optician involve in the...
I think what it means is that most opticians do not fit contact lenses mainly because their state does not allows it or limits the script by requiring that an OD or OMD supervises the whole deal. The...
In Florida, an eyeglasses Rx is valid for 5 years and a Cl Rx is valid for 2.
An optician can duplicate any lenses at any given time. Prescriptions can be expired sooner and they normally are by...
Florida does not accept reciprocity. If you have A.S. in Opticianry you still need ABO, NCLE and pass the state exam. In addition you have to pay over a thousand dollars for testing and initial...
California is a very interesting state. The medical assistant law was tapped by optometry and the duty of such assistant were spelled out and limited to gathering data that does not involve...
I think anyone can refract in 49 states under the OMD supervision. Even unlicensed ODs working under OMD close eye can perform optometry. Here in Florida, an OMD had a OD unlicensed practicing...
