That’s why we’re asking you to bring a wrap frame to our upcoming meeting. Mark Cohen and Mark DiMeo, from Tri-Supreme Optical, will be presenting our Continuing Education credit “This is Why the Lab Can’t Do Your Job.” As part of the presentation, Mark DiMeo will be presenting the challenges and fabrication issues that come with wrap frames. The wrap frame that you bring should be in your existing frame inventory; particularly a wrap frame you may have had fabrication issues in the past. Mark will then look at the frame and then review what’s necessary to successfully put an Rx in the frame. This will allow us to engage audience participation and have some lively discussion. We’d love to see you attend our January meeting to learn about the latest surfacing and edging techniques associated with wrap frames so that helping your patients with this highly fashionable product will be easier for you.
