EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY for the right person -- Industry leading company (with outstanding products, technology, benefits and compensation package) seeks self-motivated over-achiever to take on a...

In a word -- Crizal Alize (pronounced: Ah-lee-zay') is AWESOME. I was blown away when first seeing it (I recently started with ELOA, my first week was in Dallas where I got to see this stuff first...

To answer the question about engravings ... it depends upon which manufacturers' technology you are talking about. Some will engrave the spherical "blanks" with progressive markings (which means the...

Pete, one way or another -- will you please set the record straight on this? THANKS.

Tex -- perhaps not in terms of literal power, but the patient would be over minused (under plus) in terms of their actual distance correction. It is the same concept, but how about this?:

NVO Rx...

PLEASE don't be offended by my asking -- I just thought I would inquire and eliminate any obvious possibilities:

Was this a progressive lens?

If not, what is the lens manufacturer, brand name,...

I am really surprised that the instructions suggest calculating the digression from the NVO ... For example, if a dispenser sends in an Rx - NVO: + 3.00 O.U. and chooses the 1.50 digression -- that...

I haven't been out in the field with ELOA long, but I can tell you that all of the feedback that I have heard about this product has been very positive.

One note of caution regarding selecting the...

There are a number of 'white papers' out there that contain information on this subject. Perhaps Master Machol can help, as he wrote one of the most informative that I have read (during his days at...

I have a completely different take on the appropriateness of recommending polycarbonate to consumers. Oddly enough, I would be more inclined to position poly to patients within the core prescription...

I wish I could say for sure whether VEW was a success for Shamir, but I was so busy meeting with customers, optiboarders and global members of the Shamir team -- that I honestly did not spend that...

Steve Machol -- THE Optiboarder. I worked with Steve at Sola (actually, to be accurate about it, I worked FOR Steve at Sola) years ago when he first created the Optiboard. Unfortunately, it was...

If you are trying to verify the distance power "at the fitting cross", you will have a difficult time. The area above the fitting cross (manufacturer ink markings usually outline the appropriate...

I had an independent client in Alaska that dispensed 35% polycarbonate, suddenly start returning multiple pairs with lenses cracked. It took us months to sort out the similarities and consistencies...

I concur with the comments of others. Some of my most prominent customers advertise regularly and find the return on their investment to be significant. As for the affordability, running a...

We had a great turn out Friday morning (considering so many were in classes) and it was wonderful to finally see some of the Optiboard faces. We had Jerry, Suzy, Harry, Jackie, Sticklert and of...

Thank you all! I have talked to my customer and they were able to remove the residue by gently polishing it off. I will send along these additional comments and suggestions in an effort to avoid...

I'll have them give it a try and let you know how it turns out!

Have any of you lab rats out there ever had a problem with finding a film substance on the front surface of clear glass lenses after taking them out of the chem hardening unit?

My account has...

I am going to step out there -- even though I know nothing of the polarizing filters used in cameras ... could be a mistake ... but, what the heck!

Everything that I have learned about polarizing...

I remember all right! I just wish that I could see some of the work that you do. Maybe you should do a 'minusboy' and post some photos for us to see! Is anybody else out there interested in seeing...

A question has been raised about the 9:00 a.m. meeting time at the Shamir booth (#12075) on Friday morning. It seems that the exhibit hall may not officially open until 9:30 that day. Therefore, if...

FYI -- for those able to make the Friday morning (9:00 am) gathering at the Shamir booth -- the booth number is #12075. Also, there will be refreshments (as well as a small gift) for everyone!

HEY CHIP -- I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!!! ;) lol

I know, I know ... salespeople (such as myself) are just vermin.

JRS: Great! I've got you in my calendar ;-)
