Thanks Chris!
Still, however, I am looking for Mercer pins. Does anyone know if any source still supplies them?

Happy new year all!
I'm attempting to locate the metal "rods" or "pins" that are used with the Mercer repair units. Does anyone know if supplies are available anywhere?
The Mercer unit was an...
I have used these lenses with great success many times. We have a surface lab and they are a very cost effective way fix the imbalance. Just remember you will use this on the lens with the most...
Hey Optical Peers,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of any video's (perhaps converted from old film) showing the manufacturing process of vintage American eyewear. Cable temples...
How easy/difficult is the M'eye touch part of the Mr. Blue to operate? I've just upgraded to include M'eye touch and am curious how many pre-loaded shapes come with the M'eye touch upgrade.
It...
Just got a Mr. Blue edger and wanted some feedback on the edger and options.
Has anyone any experience with the Meye Touch option?
Dragon -- I agree, however, I'm lookin for answers.
Thanks Chip that helps. I thought that was where you were going with that.
Something has occured withing this past year and your suggestion has merit. I guess the question now is to our lens...
Chip,
Are you suggesting that the raw poly material that lens casters are using is of low quality and that is the problem?
Couldn't quite understand your post.
I've read the posts on the link you provided, however, I can't believe that all the sudden my in house lab and all of the wholesale labs we use have dull cutting surfaces on the equipment nor can I...
Within the past year or so I have seen repeated pairs of specs with poly lenses cracking. We've dispensed poly for years, however, this past year a crazy amount of lenses have been cracked.

Chris the sun must rise early in Florida. Tell me more about what you just posted. What form of ad is the Zeiss item you attached. Very cool.
Darryl -- I also have one of those AO tint...
Hey Therminon lenses are a cool product. That's the funny thing about our industry we bring out the new latest and greatest and forget about some products that are actually awesome and have an...
The term corrective curve does have meaning. Years ago researchers/manufacturers found that certain base curves could minimize abberations/errors for a particular range of powers. This is why...
Of course, who does'nt. Seriously. I do.
Here is a small sample of where we've been. All Glass. Bring on the chatter.

Hey all,
I have an old 1997 AIT Delta Scan Tracer and edger that has separated from the software that drove the tracing unit. The CPU was a stand alone unit and when the edger was stored the...
Yes, I intend to mount these lenses into a frame. Thickness may prevent this in the higher magnification. The magnification will result from thickness not refractive power.
Chris, thanks for...
I need to make a meridianal magnifying lens. One which has no refracting power but, magnifies in only one meridian. The lens has value for research in the condition of aniseikonia as well as a...
Nope, not what I'm looking for. Not looking for an aspheric or atoric front surface, but a front surface with with a toric curve in one meridian.
Thanks for the input, just not what I'm looking...
Does anyone know of any lens manufacturer that currently manufacturers a semi-finished blank with front surface cylinder?
Yes, I realize that front surface cyl was the way it used to come "back...
Lensgrinder and Darryl,
Thanks a bunch. You nailed it. I'm on my way
Thanks again,
Jamie
Hello all -- This is my first post. Likely one aimed at Darryl or Steve.
I've been asked to surface a lens that is a meridional magnifier without refracting. Sounds to me like a big fat plano...
