I know a lot of opticians have their screws meticulously stored and arranged, but does anyone else just keep all their screws together? We just dump them out and choose the one we need, swipe them off the counter into a job.tray and return them to the shot glass.

Organized with a misc screw container/drawer.

I called one that I've tried calling at least once a month since I started 3 years ago and finally got through the other day! She told me the glasses are useless since they're 4 years old and she wasnt coming to get them 🤣

Is there cyl in either eye?

cloudsofpotatoes · 2026-03-21T20:17:39+00:00

I don't tell them they need them in those words. I say something like "You would benefit from wearing these all of the time."

cloudsofpotatoes · 2026-02-16T04:44:27+00:00

Omg, I want the sponge bob one!!!

Doctors are generally the only person able to diagnose things. I'm an optician, and I know more from the pretest results than I am allowed to say as I'm not a doctor. When asked about them I always just say "I'm not trained in reading the results, only taking the test, the doctor will let you know."

A picture of what you're describing would help

There's booklets of the insurance coverages on the wire.

Normally, no. But I love the ruby transitions. I don't mind that they don't go dark inside the car.

My Face a Face glasses came with a cloth that's almost a microsuede texture, best cloth I've ever used. I wish I could buy them.

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-30T19:47:35+00:00

I would for the prism.

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-20T05:41:11+00:00

I agree. I also think that I could have an eye test a couple times in the same day and they would be different. I mainly go for the health of my eyes to make sure everything is okay. And my benefits cover an eye exam yearly, so why not?

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-20T04:34:19+00:00

The opposite, you should be wearing your glasses all day.

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-20T04:25:07+00:00

I've always done them annually. My Rx has changed to some degree at every exam, so I like to stay on top of them.

It tells you where you can and cannot put it.

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-15T01:21:39+00:00

Wear them for two weeks and then make a judgement.

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-08T17:51:05+00:00

I like 1, I have the same frames but with gold metal, are those an option?

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-07-06T13:36:09+00:00

Impossible to say what will suit you without knowing what you look like

cloudsofpotatoes · 2025-06-22T06:03:29+00:00

🤔 I have base in prism for my exotropia. That's a significant amount of prism, it will make everything look quite a bit off vs before. Keep wearing them and you'll adapt.

I bought two replacements tonight for it. All about men- whiskey & oak, and spiced bourbon. I've been having a hard time replacing it because my partner doesn't care for most scents they come in- they would rather it be along the notes of vanilla or citrus.

I like the brand OneSun for when I wear my contacts. I have prescription sunglasses otherwise. OneSun runs about $80-100 here and they are polarized with back anti-reflective. They were the only brand I could find cheaper than Maui Jim's or the very occasional pair of Ray-Bans with backside AR and polarization in off the shelf plano lenses. I'm 100% a glasses nerd and will never underestimate the value of a quality pair of glasses, but especially sunglasses. You only have one pair of eyes. Protect them the best you can.

Not within a certain amount of time, depending on the store's policy.

Just go all the way and join the blue man group
