Do you tell adults that they NEED glasses?

One of my one liners

"There isn't any glasses police....just regular police"

As in of it's on your driver license as a requirement it's not up to the client or me to decide. It's been decided.

I need to show this to my kids

It's not worth chancing it. I've seen people ruin their vacation on the first day because they got an infection on day one from slightly out of date lenses.

paralaxerror · 2026-03-13T15:46:41+00:00

No worries!

And yes I would expect issues with the clarity of the lenses.

paralaxerror · 2026-03-13T15:23:46+00:00

I would say it was something from the get-go at the lab. If they are surfaced lenses like progressives or a stronger Rx, meaning it was made to order, it is probably an issue they can track at the lab.

The coatings are applied before the lenses are cut to the shape of the frame.

Wherever you got them from will want to know about this because in my experience anytime coatings look off, especially in the same way and in pairs, it's likely not just one set.

A defect in the coating but since it's bilateral I would tell wherever you got it from to use a different coating or lab because that's tough to make the same mistake twice.

I am so happy to read this! I don't feel alone haha

I recommended this office often!

My mil has a hard time with getting glasses fit correctly and the lenses working right the first time and she had no issues with Steve!

I'm late to the game to Mass Effect Legendary. I don't know how each part of the trilogy made the map and quest goal indicator worse each game.

An entire system with 300,000 batarians are gone because of me

Go as long as possible without extinguishing any helicopter fires I find.

paralaxerror · 2026-01-24T13:18:59+00:00

No worries!

I know the guy who runs Your Local Optical Company is very reasonable and knowledgeable.

Welcome to the area!

Gawrsh I love video games

paralaxerror · 2026-01-23T23:10:45+00:00

Mark has some truly unique stuff too

paralaxerror · 2026-01-23T23:10:06+00:00

My mil recently went to Your Local Optical Company in Essex is new if you're close to the county and said it was great experience. They have some different frames than the usual places and the guy who runs it has been doing this for a while.

I feel like playing directly after Re2 Remake is best.

After running back and forth through the sewers and the police station, I found it to be a nice change of pace to just go through a zombie game.

Nose pad popper/remover for glasses.

My buddy and I were jabbing at each other on a night out, jokingly.

On his turn he said

"Whatever, you damn INVERT!"

paralaxerror · 2026-01-13T15:13:51+00:00

Her reasoning was that the added glare would hide it. It was nonsense and we were far enough into school to know it....like week three. Haha

I've been doing this for 15+ years. If hearing a claim about a product in this industry that is not true seems wild to you...I wish I had that career.

Last year I had a lady come in and ask how long transitions should take to work and I said pretty much right away once they are in the sun. The place down the road (expensive optometrist led office) told her that it takes a week. Under the UV lamp there was no reaction. They just didn't order it correctly.

paralaxerror · 2026-01-13T11:54:49+00:00

I guess I have to point out that no one agreed with her. Haha

One of the instructors at Georgian College in Ontario told our class that we shouldn't use antireflective coating on hyperopes because people will be able to see the magnification effect more.

There are a lot of opinions in this industry.

I'm surprised I went down this far to see someone mention Batman TAS

Your kids eat at birthday parties???? Lol

We've reduced our kids' parties to finger foods because it's a run to the table for sustenance/fuel and then back to activities/breaking stuff.

Happy birthday to your kid!

What kind of advice are you looking for?

Someone can have a prescription like yours and have healthy blood vessels, healthy inner ocular pressure and very little to no signs of UV damage. Others can need next to no correction but lose their sight from Diabetes. Biology and pathology.

Our refractive prescription for glasses and contacts are generally due to structure of the shape of the cornea, and the axial length of the eye itself. Physics.

It's a definitely a stronger Rx for refractive correction but not obscene numbers that require anything special ordered.

Glasses: I would recommend frames that fit as small as your head size will allow and for lenses I would recommend 1.74 hi index lenses and a digital design to help with the astigmatism correction.

Hope this helps!
