Bicentric Grinding

Bicentric grinding, also known as slab-off, is used to correct vertical imbalance. Typically, slab- off can be used to correct vertical imbalance over 1.5 diopters. Bicentric grinding means we are creating two optical centers on a lens. ‘Bi’ meaning two, and ‘centric’ meaning center. Bicentric grinding or slab-off is used to neutralize an unwanted prismatic effect caused by unequal refractive errors. Slab-off can be either conventional or reverse. Conventional slab-off is added to the front surface, lower part of the lens, and reverse slab-off is added to the rear surface, lower part of the lens.

Branding from the OAA Newsletter

What is branding? According to the Entrepreneur Small Business Encyclopedia, “your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from that of your competitors. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be and who people perceive you to be.”

Certification Matters

​Opticianry is a profession in which licensure varies among the states. Some states offer apprenticeship, licensure or a combination of the two. Some states recognize the gold standard for certification in our profession for licensure or registry: National Opticianry Competency Examination (NOCE) that is related to spectacles, and the Contact Lens Registry Examination (CLRE). Both are administered by the American Board of Opticianry and the National Contact Lens Examiners (ABO/NCLE). Some states have neither apprenticeship nor licensure.

Fun is Contagious

It feels like I’m seeing a lot of news coverage about the measles outbreak these days, and instead of spending time being worried about that, I decided to think about something way more pleasant and also equally contagious: fun! I spend a lot of time in airports and I like to watch and notice people’s habits. Human behavior is on full display during the boarding process. Normally I like to watch the gate agent call out which zone is currently boarding and see how many people nudged in front of others to get to the front of the line to board the plane.
