Vitreous Floater Demonstrator: Saves Time and Improves Exam Efficiency

This model of the eye clearly demonstrates how floaters suspend and drift. It's a visual aid that accelerates patient understanding which cumulatively saves you hours of time.

Patients will easily see and quickly comprehend the how and why about "spots and floaters", without you having to give repetitive and possibly alarming explanations. A shake of the globe sends the "floaters" swirling, pausing and drifting downwards, replicating what the patient is experiencing.

The Vitreous Floater Demonstrator features mesh particles in a clear dense "vitreous fluid". The housing is made of transparent, durable molded plastic with an attractive eyeglass tools applique.

Measures: 3 1/2" W x 3 3/4" H x 4 1/4" D.

Insert. Charge. Magnetize.

Totally Cool! Charge Your Tools!

We’ve figured out a way to get around the fact that the type of steel used to make pliers and driver blades cannot be permanently magnetized. This is the easy and efficient way to continuously provide a magnetic charge to drivers, tweezers and pliers to pick up those small screws and findings.

Holds 12 tools (not included). Measures 2-1/2" H x 3" diameter. A Western exclusive!

Insider Info from Joshua

"Often I am asked, “Why can’t screwdriver blades be magnetized?” Here’s the answer. They can be… (pause for effect)…but they just can’t be permanently magnetized. It has to do with the type of steel used to make blades: soft enough to be stamped into shape and strong enough to be able to be hardened. That translates to low iron content steel and it is the iron that holds the magnetic charge. The key is to keep applying a magnetic charge to the steel when not in use and it will hold the charge for when it is in use. That’s what this little guy does." 

The Swiss Army Knife of Opticians.

Western’s engineering solution that saves you time six ways: punches out hinge and eyewire screws, re-establishes a screwdriver slot in a damaged screw head, flares or peens the screw end and can replace a hinge screw with a QuikFix Rivet.

The Shootout arms you with the most power available in a hand tool. The patented lever mechanism takes a gentle squeeze and transforms it into the controlled power needed to easily eject broken screws and reduce damage to the barrel.

The Shootout is simple to align and comfortable to grip even for the smallest hands. Kit includes precision hand tool and complete set of punches and anvils. 8 5/8" long. US Patent #6,006,410.

Insider Info from Joshua

"The head tool buyer for a very large chain came to me one day at a trade show and asked what we had for punching out screws.  We had nothing.  For the remainder of the show I asked our clients if punching out screws was a 'thing'. Sure enough, it happens more often than I imagined. Building a better solution to what was available was the engineering challenge. Making it reliable and user friendly came after several evolutions. The additional features making it a 'multi-tool' came from customer input."

"One of the products we manufacture is the Hot Box frame warmer and we use it often to test certain eyewear materials. Some of these materials need to get very hot before they can take an adjustment. This really gets tough on the fingers. To help save our fingers and yours, I wanted to come up with a handy and easy solution. By the way, The Temple Tamer is the first product we designed and made using 3D printing."

Two Pliers In One.

Your dispensing table is crowded and you don’t like reaching for two pliers when one will do. We get it. So we combined the nose pad and nose pad arm adjusting functions into one plier. Specially designed jaws safely grab and adjust the nose pad and box while the unique jaw tips securely pinch the pad arm to adjust its curvature.
