Have you personally or someone you know started a frame company? How did that go? I would think its hard to start off because everyone is established with the lines they carry in their office so actually putting them into an optical shop would seem impossible.

Hello all
I have been tasked with writing an article on ‘Fastcast’ lenses. Recently had the misfortune to see some with really awful lens aberrations. I am not familiar with the process at all and Dr Google is proving to be less than helpful. The labs I have spoken to are not willing or able to share info. I am based in South Africa and would really appreciate some useful input please.
Many thanks
Cheryl

I work for an optometrist who doesn’t want to add an edger at this time. We are thinking of buying a tracer and using trace and transmit on patients who don’t want a new frame. Does anyone have any experience with trace and transmit and if so, what are your thoughts? I would also appreciate alternative suggestions on what to do when patients want to keep their frame and want new lenses only. Thanks.

Hi,

Iam a independent Optometrist from China, and I am looking forward for your help.

We have a 6-year-old patient with congenitaleye disease, where one eye has high myopia, and the other still hassome hyperopia reserve. As it is known as anisometropia. The eye withmyopia has severe amblyopia, and the patient is undergoing visualtraining to improve their vision at medical institution. The currentprescription for the patient is as follows:

When using spectacles with such a large difference in sphere power, the difference in the size of objects viewed by the two eyes is significant, affecting the fusion of images and hindering visual recovery. However, due to the patient’s age and cooperation, it is unable to use contact lenses for now.

We have tried domestically available technology, which adjusts magnification by slightly modifying the thickness of the lens, makingthe size of objects viewed by each eye closer. However, these lenses are not designed specifically for the patient, and the imaging difference is still significant. Additionally, there is an obvious prism effect in the vertical direction, causing significant height differences in the images.

Through the internet, I heard about slab-off (or any other ?) technology, which can optimize for above situation.

1, Is there any appropriate technology that can overcome the imaging difference problem in eyeglasses and provide them to patients with this condition?

2,Considering factors such as lens thickness or weight, to what extent can imaging differences be repaired?

3,If such a product exists, what is the approximate price, and where toorder them?

4,What measurements do we need to take to configure such lenses for thepatient?

any infomation may help ,thanks

Hi OB,

I’d like to see what you all thought of the current tech of biometric scanning (Zeiss and Rodenstock) that goes into feeding lens design, specifically progressives. Rodenstock has the new Impressionist and Multigressiv range that handles the data from their eye scanner (an aberrometer, topographer, pupillometer, pachymeter, and tonometer) to map many many points in the eye as to minimise wavefront aberrations. I can’t seem to find papers on it except where it relates to IOLs which is irrelevant.

Zeiss also has similar hardware but, according to a rep, didn’t develop the software to translate the datapoints to meaningful parameters for lens design and manufacturing.

Is this some gobbledygook? Or is there legitimate basis here? I’m all for theory, but I’ve been burnt with over promises especially with the Varilux X range which had a higher fail rate than some old-time PPL designs.

Take all this with a grain of salt because my patients are mostly geriatric and not really concerned with trends, so I don’t exactly have my finger on the pulse of what’s hot, but I do pay attention to the glasses I see people wearing on social media.

I agree with the rounder metal frames being in, especially oversized round and octagon styles, for younger folks. I actually sold several retro men’s browline frames last month, so I wonder if nerd-chic is coming back in too.

Based on social media and requests from our (few) Gen Z/younger Millennial patients, big weird geometric shapes are in. If you peruse the cheap online opticals like Zeeloool, Voogueme, etc., they carry all kinds of gigantic lens frames in crazy shapes. Think giant round lenses, octagons, exaggerated cat-eyes, etc.. There are frames on these sites where one lens is square and the other is round. And if you dare scroll through Tiktok, you’ll see TONS of people wearing these frames. And they also have wild colors like neon green. I actually committed a crime against opticianry and ordered some of the frames for myself because they are cheap and fun.) You can actually get some of these exact same frames from New York Eye from their Enhance and Jubilee collections. People often post on Opticians on Facebook about patients bringing in these crazy frames to have new lenses put in.

1980s styles are going to be popular, I suspect. Zyloware has a new Halston line and they are very 1980s.

I have had a lot of people ask for the Pair eyewear frames with the magnetic fronts. As far as I know, there is nothing like this on the market that is wholesale for opticians to buy. I also committed a sin and got myself a pair of these and a bunch of fun magnetic fronts. They’re really cool, and I hope someone makes a line that opticians can carry.

This 6 year old 20/20 magazine article frames what you are looking for well imho drk. The articles author may chime in as well!

“Traditionally, the term “20/Happy” was used to describe a prescription that balanced good vision with perceptual comfort. But 20/Happy is now about more than how well someone sees. Today it goes beyond simple acuity, encompassing customer satisfaction and perceived value—two essentials containing latent aspects little appreciated or understood by ECPs. To grasp how this is redefining eyewear value, let’s take a deep dive into what 20/Happy today is all about……”

“Today, eyecare professionals should resist seeing the costs incurred in keeping customers satisfied as a drain on profits. In an increasingly competitive market, any perceived unwillingness to be sympathetic or helpful when consumers ask for assistance will only work against you remaining their “eye guy” or “eye gal.” ECPs should focus on the bigger picture, where clear vision, comfortable fit, contemporary fashion and clearly communicated value all add up to customers staying on the right side of 20/Happy.”

There is a practice in our town that is heavily focused on marketing, problem is they repeatedly publish false statements like:

“We are the only office that accepts _____ insurance” (there are about a dozen or more)
“We are the only office that makes glasses on the island”
“Our prices are better than 1-800 contacts” (they are about 30% more expensive unless you request a price match plus they charge patients $15 shipping to pick up from their office)

Would you do anything about this or just let them be?

You are a hyperope and/or presbyope. You cannot read without your reading Rx. You are wearing a virtual reality device. The display shows a distant landscape, but the image is in fact a few cm from the eye. Do you need your specs? Can the goggle be adjusted to different eyes?
