    Shore Activations? How good are they?

    Has anyone tried them in stock lenses?

    Could you elaborate at all on this? If some OCD type perfectionist (Silhouette wearer!?) were to come back with very very mild (normal) scratching 3 times in one year, would you replace their fancy...

    PM Me. I lived in Dallas for a year and met a bunch of people. I may be able to help or point you in some direction, I just don't have much time right now. I do have to say that nobody gives a damn...
  4. Do you sell extra warranties or insurance to patients against scratching or breakage?

    If so, how much do you charge and what are your fees for replacements and lifetime or yearly limits? This seems like something many patients would like and, at least for single vision, would be...
  5. Horizon 2 motor spinning slowly, when it spins at all. Already replaced motor.

    Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem here? I originally thought the motor was bad but I replaced it and it still either doesn't spin at all, or it spins slowly at roughly a few hundred...

    I'm surprised luxottica isn't in the mix somewhere, i'm sure they will be. These big guys always hit a wall none of us could see coming. Not that we didn't see what they're doing, but we didn't think...

    If, when you look around, you find that your province is the most highly regulated, then you should expect your situation to move in the other direction. Especially if there is a huge differential....

    FEA has excellent AR coatings. I've been using them for 5 years or so. Their basic AR is great and Independence is outstanding and on par with any fancy brand name coating i've seen. Both are priced...

    This is asinine. If you spend 15 seconds of your life being remotely concerned about poly causing cancer you just lost 15 seconds of your life for no damn reason. California should take its...

    it sounds like you're saying that they will not be able to competently do lab work? its just growing pains and their work will eventually be just fine. They couldn't possibly be losing money, I...

    THANK YOU!!! I see so many people defending them here and arguing for their clearly (IMO) unnecessary existence. Someone once told me that if you need to decide whether you should buy something to...

    Not saying they're going to go away, but we're already seeing an increase in the number of 'discount' plans which is essentially the same as nothing. I think VSP sees this trend which is one huge way...

    Did anyone NOT see this coming??? The only bright side is that (I believe) vision plans are going to experience a significant decline in the future. Consumers are smartening up and realizing that...

    Honestly, vision 'insurance' companies don't actually DO anything, they are purely marketing middlemen. Unlike auto and health insurance which spread out risk. Before it existed no one was wondering...

    The only way to beat them is to go low-price, efficient and fast for all your cash patients. Make vision plans obsolete by being quick and easy for them as well as pushing the cost as low as you can...
  18. Best "value" in used edgers right now for $10k

    Primarily regarding ownership cost (initial cost + reliability + repair availability). Relatively quiet operation is a must also. No fresh water-access and no air compressors. I've used a currently...

    Dang, was kinda hoping this was for real. I can do a not so accurate job in 5 minutes. A lot longer if I'm being picky though, which is pretty much all the time
  20. Automated drilling machine from super systems. Anyone used it?

    Looks interesting. For $1395 it sounds like a steal IF it does a nice job, and that's a big if. Has anyone used one?

    That window analogy is excellent, I'll be using that myself.
