Excellent, thanks guys
Yes, I am familiar w/progressive history....been in the biz for over 20 yrs. I just have not personally used them and am only looking for anyone who may b familiar w/their designs. If a person is...
Looking for advice on lens choices. I've never done Varilux exclusively and have no problem with other manufacturers or private label depending on the situation. I recently started at a new...
Hi All,
Haven't been lurking around in awhile and am just getting back in the action after taking a year off and need some info. Last year I left my position as the optical administrator in an...
So far the cl reps I've talked to only have ad stuff to play in the lobby. I've never felt the need as I've always believed in hands on and only let the pt leave with the cls if I'm confident they...
Does anyone know where I could get a video/dvd for showing patients on contact lens insertion and care? Also any print material on care that the patient can take with them. Thanks.
I've used them a bit over the past year. No complaints. Like the idea of the availability of the small diameter. Especially for kids, or if someone is having difficulty with I&R I'll use these. If...
Yeah, also check out Lady's Home Journal. Same type of article in about healthcare savings tips. Caught that juicy tidbit at the vets office!!
Thanks for all the replies.
I would only consider cost for frame if there was rx lens profit in it. As it is we only do 1.5x and still, comments are too expensive! The close outs we have Ellen...
We are an Ophthalmology practice in a fairly depressed rural area located outside of town--no foot traffic/window shopping availability. Considering the above, our eyeglass sales are quite good. We...
Has anyone had any experience with Digital Eye Lab and their AR Claris? I'm thinking of trying the seiko with them, but am concerned about the AR. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I believe we use 92310 for all the fittings, just change the price based on the complexity. When it has to do with medical then there are other medical codes that are used and will often include the...
Our office (Ophthalmic) gives all the employees and their immediate families cost. No limit on how many pairs. I have also worked at another private MD that gave each employee 1 free pair per year,...
Had a rep call me today about a couple of new lines -- click and phish (?sp) Anybody have any experience with it. Its supposed to be reasonably priced and unique designs. Thanks.
I'd be interested myself. Have you seen their prices for the seiko succeed with their premium AR? They were $30 ish less than the other lab I have selling it! We use ODG for our contacts and have...
Thanks all, you've been a great help.
In our practice, (Ophthalmology) it is our regular risk managment policy that any patient that goes against medical advice that is detrimental to their health, or does not follow up as advised--again...
I thought the corning lenses were for low vision--AMD, COAG etc. to brighten things up. Wouldn't that be more uncomfortable for someone already very light sensitive or will the lower glare out weigh...
Does anyone know if there's anything available for someone with albinism? One of my Optician's got a call from a mother that is looking for something for her 5 year old with albinism. There is no...
Usually for us it ends up PDs, then next the Rx.
Yeah, no win situation is right. Though we had already decided to give her the PD if she asks. Honestly, the other Optician didn't even think about it when she gave her a copy of the Rx. If she...
Basically I ask, because a patient of ours that got glasses with us about 3 months ago on her vsp now wants to get glasses over the internet for $79.00. She asked for a copy of the Rx and we did not...
We're trying to find out if the PD is a requirement of the eyeglass rx in New York state. I went on the state sight and couldn't find it anywhere. I know it's been said it depends on the state and...
Thanks for the help. It just really stinks, because I have a very good set up and enjoy this job very much, however, his job really trumps mine bad.
Johns, once I find out exactly where he's...
