Here is the backrond information that got me to put on the war paint and do battle:
Just another insurance company started to do lab work resulting in an OU +4.00 with a 4.5 mm edge thickness, power and PD correct. To cut cost the lab had obviously used a stock lens (not a 60mm blank either). It took me a lot of effort to have this job redone, but I did. Dispensing the much thinner and lighter weight lenses to the little girl was worth the effort.
Most frustating is the fact that the lab gets away with it most of the time. They are convinced that I am a trouble maker because everybody else would just dispense those glasses.
How can we ensure that opticianry does not get sacrificed just to raise an insurance company's profits?
