i had a patient come in yesterday to pre-pay for her daughter's contacts. its normally our policy not to do that, but i told her if she cut a check and let me see her ID i would do it. granted of...

i got half of those already, and besides, im just trying to help with eyes, the other stuff can be left to the other professionals.

joey

p.s. that meth don't play =)

I don't know if its so much a desire to directly relate with a patient as it is the ability to say i've been there. it's like hearing your grandpa talk about the war and you sit there amazed, but...

i will have to agree with the older members of the forums when it comes to the abo. keep in mind the person that trained me has been in the field for over 35 years and she trained me like she was...

on the topic of scratch resistance, they developed a new type for the blu-ray dvd discs that are coming out. They actually slid the disc around on concrete with their foot and couldnt scratch it. ...

they get us in a catch 22 there. our nikon and regular ovation are basically the same price, and you get a much better coating on our nikon. our regular coating isn't horrible, but it does tend to...

i say we round em up, tag em, and release them back into the wild for further experiments. =)

we will call your new species the wide-eyed woollyknockers.

i think i asked our doctor about...

i don't think it would and also when fitting the sunglasses, the patient usually doesn't wear the lens long enough for accomodation to finish. if you could convince them to wear them long enough...

thx, reading it now

thx, i will look into that. i was also thinking of seeing about making a pair that would basically neutralize at the bottom for me, that was i wouldn't notice anything at the bottom.

ok... am i supposed to be stupid or something? this is apparently the only profession in the world that expects their new people to be idiots. i apologize, i will cease posting, ill just...

so far i've seen postings from opticians that started as far back as '59. during those times you have undoubtedly seen many things come and go in optics, some for the better, some for the worse. so...

honestly, i hate selling dress and sunglass progressives at the same time. i always have a patient that will switch from one pair to the other and tell me they can't see as well with the...

and some of the older ones...

Do you ever wish that you needed bifocals just so that you could find out the big deal between lined lenses and no-lines? I often feel uncomfortable explaining the...

believe me, at my current pay, i could only have 1 year in optics =)

im just motivated, and i find all this stuff strangely fascinating. until 2 days ago i was getting bored, but now i have a...

if they say they have too many frames, ask them why they keep buying frames that don't move when your other clients sell X number of your frames a day, keeping demand high and backstock low. btw, i...

i am certified =)

to clarify the chain store comparison, wal-mart is and always has been adamant about price matching competitors. competitors to us are chains, not private practices. as far as...

apparently i've been holding this apparatus backwards the whole time... 1 year of work down the drain =)

just to give you some insight on hiring somebody from a wal-mart... our answers may vary slightly. this is one thing i found annoying when studying for the ABO. i had to unlearn many things that i...

I have a few years of college down, but nothing that leans towards optics. but i was a great physics and calculus student, so its not hard to grasp the concepts in optics. as far as the nikon lens,...

ever meet that annoying kid that happens to be good at everything he tries? unfortunately, that's me, im just not annoying. i honestly walked into the vision center, studied the WAV manual...

Wal-Mart honestly isn't trying to hurt the industry. The type of patients we get regularly demand these services much to our dismay. We carry a large selection of lenses, and the upper echelon of...

I have arrived. =)
I'm new here. I have been in optical for a little over a year now, was recently certified, and am now looking for a community of like-minded individuals. But hey, ya'll will...
