Now that you have engaged me in a very interesting and meaningful conversation, I am learning a lot from you, specifically the "end users" perception of these instruments and would like to learn more...

Please share your opinion. I am anxious to learn from you. I will ask that you please consider the fact that not all automated refractors are created (designed) equally. There is a very wide...

Amen! Thank you for your valuable input in this discussion.

"Ain't no way in America that an automated phoroptor is going to speed up refraction.
It will slow it down, dollars to donuts." If you are still practicing, I welcome the opportunity to prove you...

Ironically, Dr. Jasper chose the wrong words in the opening statement of this article ("THE “RIGHT” WORDS") by describing a digital phoropter as "automated (dictionary.com def.:convert (a process or...

if you still have these, could you please tell me blocker model?

Leo,
Optical lab rat!
It is with great dissappointment that I read your recommendation of one edger brand over another. Do most of the readers know you have vested interest with a company with deep...

John is still around and the best in the biz. PM your contact info to me & I will forward it to him.

just a quick thought. As with everything else in our bodies, production levels of certain protiens changes (slows down) as we age. Specifically chromoprotiens such as rhodopsin and iodopsin which are...

Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
Although I agree whole heartedly on some of your comments, I will respectfully disagree on a few items.
I have been drilling lenses for nearly thirty years, and have...

1.67 is a fabulous choice for drilled rimless (as is 1.60, Trivex, and 1.70)
Polycarbonate is about the worst choice especially in Lindberg products or any tension mount systems (like the old...

Hello,
I would like to know more about your product. I carry several high end frames and services covering most of New England and metro NY.
Thank You

In my experience, I have found there is nothing gained by "pointing out" poor quality made at the competition. Chances are the patient already knows it and feels buyers remorse. What is gained from...

I have been using the Zeiss Brevity for many Rx's and have found it to be excellent (tolerance) The Rodenstock XS is a very good choice as well. But I would have to agree with Pete, short corridors...

Thanks for all the great information! I have been looking at the House of Kolor stuff as you recommended. Is the PU base you mentioned the UC35? and then add "stripping" pigment to it? is there any...

You are awesome! Thank you so much for the information. That is exactly what I was looking for. Neat to have someone with your experience reply to my request. I dont plan on doing too terribly much...

I agree. It is entirely personal preference. I have several of the Vigor units in my shop. They are very efficient, quiet, and a pleasure to use once you get used to them. A far cry from the old...

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you think it is necessary to use a primer first on a bare metal frame? Is there a particular brand of paint that works best?

Does anyone know of a good source for enamel/epoxy/??? to color (paint) frames? (my preference would be with an airbrush, since my brush skills are marginal)
I dont mean touch up, instead complete...

Hmmmm. I was taught the temple should end approxiamately mid point of the back of the ear. Excepting gross anatomical differences, this should not be to difficult to visualize or photograph.

Hi: I have a brand new (never been used because I was unfortunate enough to be one of the first purchasers when Weco sold to Pro laser who sold to Briot ... who has a lousy field support staff)...
