LEX 1000 PLB-8 with Ice mini + blocker and accessory kit. Under 6000 cycles run. This is a great edger in excellent condition but we are down to one office and don't quite have to volume to justify keeping it. All reasonable offers will be considered.

Optimizing Optical
So I had a thought.
As it's nearing the end of the year, I find myself knee-deep in inventory and it has come to that time where I've plowed half-way through lab invoices and patient accounts trying to clean up the numbers in order to straighten things for the next year. I have also taken a good look on office efficiency, optimizing optical, and the like, almost like a self-review. So I have to ask, what do you do to improve performance and service in the optical?

Unable to make identical lenses? Help...
I've had a pair of glasses for the last year that was plain excellent - I could wear it 24/7. This year, I have decided to order an identical pair - same prescription, same paperwork (like the last order), same frame, even the colour of the frame... A total clone. BUT, I cannot wear the new pair. My eyes get strained after a while. I've been back three times and each time they keep adjusting my new frame which seems pointless to me - I can "feel" the frame is not the problem as it is identical to the old one and it feels OK. They keep telling me the lenses are identical because that is what their paperwork says (hmmm...) I've suggested a possible error or a mixup but of course they claim that that would not happen... really? So I've removed the lenses from both glasses (old and new) and put them next to each other. Clearly the curvature is different on the new pair. I see OK in them, so I know the prescription is fine, but the strain on my eyes is too much (I've tried for days). So I basically have a proof that the lenses were not cut out exactly the same. What should I tell the store? Any technical wording I should use? Is there a way to make an exact, identical pair of lenses to my old one? Can an experienced technician understand this and actually do it, or is it basically a hit and miss (wouldn't that be scary)? My eyes are clearly very sensitive, but I've been extremely happy with my previous pair I got from them a year ago (and I never had to adjust to it for days, and never got any strain from day 1).

Anyone have the new safety standards for Z80.3?
Vision Council Announces Publication of Non-Rx Sunglasses and Fashion Eyewear Requirements

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Vision Council, as the secretariat administrator for Accredited Standards Committee Z80, has announced the publication by ANSI of the 2015 revision of Standard Z80.3, Nonprescription Sunglasses and Fashion Eyewear Requirements.
ANSI Standard Z80.3, Nonprescription Sunglasses and Fashion Eyewear Requirements, applies to all nonprescription (over-the-counter) sunglasses and fashion eyewear that are normally used for casual, dress and recreational purposes, having lenses of substantially plano power. This revision incorporates a continued effort to more properly explain and clarify concepts and principles, and to more closely align requirements of this standard with similar relevant provisions in existing U.S. and international standards.
The 2015 revision of Standard Z80.3 supersedes the 2010 Standard and represents five years of work by a team of industry experts, led by chairman Karl Citek, OD, PhD, representing the American Optometric Association. The changes from the 2010 standard are the result of a thorough study by the ANSI Z80.3 committee of the relevance and applicability of its contents.

Scheduling opinion?
Our office is looking into revamping our scheduling practices in the new year.
We are a small office, one OD, one prescreener/technician a part time optician and myself (office manager/optician). Currently, we are scheduling routine eye exams and ancillary testing (OCT, VF, etc) interchangeably. We have been playing with the idea of regulating routine exams and ancillary testing to separate days of the week. I have read lots of articles highlighting the pros and cons of each model.
We don't want to alienate our patients who have a tight schedules and busy lives, but we are a growing practice and need to run an efficient office and maximize our time.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you!
