Obviously, striving for the best lens fit is ideal but as for what the optician can do, I am in the habit of showing the patient how the frame will 'stretch' once their RX is inserted. I hold the...

I would highly suggest Vision Ease for poly clear and poly AR as well as high index with AR. They offer a material based blue-light filter in those materials plus CR-39, with and without AR but not a...

If you work with Safilo, Hugo Boss and Elasta both have the correct sizing but are a little more squared shapes.

That's a shame. We carried those years ago, and I did like them (not so much the rep) but unfortunately we are all out. Good luck!

Thanks guys! These are some great additions. CV Brynn is very close to her needs so I'm going to get one of those in. I'm keeping the other lines in mind for future people (they didn't quite have the...

Hello all!

I'm on the hunt for some frame options that meet some very specific requirements. I have a young lady who needs a wide fit but has very prominent cheeks. We are looking for something...

We use Younger Optics for our in house options and Cherry Optical for all outside lab work. They offer a range of bands and we usually let them pick unless we have need to specify.

Doesn't work for me either. Says the Zip is invalid.

You could try adding it to a cloud based program and share the link? That might work better over different operating systems and generations.

Citing sources for the term high-powered positive lens seems really strange. I would definitely consider this an subjective term. If I were going to try and pin it down (with reasoning) I would start...

I thought about this and agree it could be a great venture in our new marijuana friendly states. Hemp is a different strain of plant so unfortunately there wouldn't be any alternative use once it's...

As a former surfacing lab manager, this has always been a bother for me. Seeing that puck go in and come out as a flat disc and knowing how much material is 'wasted' is something I wish I would find...

Apparently I was playing Red Dead wrong. I started with story mode and got board, which sounds like the general consensus. I'll try again with the online mode and probably get hooked like everyone...

Not it if is done right, but the more important question is: how is the AR being applied?

I come from an unlicensed state, so most dispensing opticians are not licensed. I'm guessing the details on how this works is probably poorly worded and this is the offices interpretation of the law....

I should have clarified. Though they will give free redos and warranties, they do want to know why and look for solutions when there is a pattern. My comparison is based off of years of struggling to...

Congrats! Talk about the new old American dream. I let my husband pick out a Ford 8N with backhoe this past year. Looking forward to stump removal in the spring!

A better lab will cover more than one time. Totally understandable reason, given that most of us don't get to choose the labs, but if so, why not encourage a change to a lab that won't hold you to...

How about the 2pt font of white on gold on Ray Bans temples? At that point, why bother?

Also, I about lost it on the rep a few years back when they switched from the standard flared temple tips to...

^There has been much change... some for the better and some for the worse (hence my own hiatus) But here we are continuing to share within the industry.

I think the issue with a 48 page thread is...

I'm having a hard time with this.

Is the doctor the same as the one who wrote the rx 5 years ago?
Did the current doc look at the old glasses before prescribing?

I feel like these things...

50% does seem like a lot. I have worked with a doctor in the past that are very prism heavy in their diagnosis. There is obviously a place for it but it does seem that a small amount of docs aren't...

I love UPS. They get the job done in my neck of the woods. I would trust UPS to deliver my baby.

USPS on the other hand... I loathe. There is a reason the phrase 'going postal' is so relatable.

I definitely get where you are coming from. It is frustrating for everyone that everyday glasses don't always get the job done. Most patients don't have the luxury of multiple pairs and if they do,...

I think of it as adjusting by baby-steps. If my PD reading is off from someone who has, oh let's say been wearing the same pair for 15 years, I will usually attempt to shift the PD in the right...
