meder liquid lens

[michael p.]

I definitely have a bias in this conversation but would like to mention:  We fully support all of the distributors of the Tohickon product line but if you have any trouble getting hold of the Tohickon Joe Meder eye, just give us a call or call around.  There are other suppliers who also carry the original Joe Meder eye.  I don't want to try to list them here and risk leaving someone out.  If you call Tohickon, orders over $50 are free shipping.  That's about three pairs of those eyes and a bird eye or something.  Plus we have a new and more capable customer service staff.  Hope that helps.

Tony, you and your staff really have it together now!!   Just want to say thanks for the excellent service!

I feel the same way as most here. I bought several pair and can't find a good pair in the bunch. air bubbles scratches and poor painting. Back to IQ for me as well.

I'm not a huge fan Of the liquid lens but I did find a pic with the bars on here

Those "bars" are simply a reflection of the strata inside the fluid of the eye.  The black bars painted on the new Meder eye perhaps were INTENDED to replicate that, but they end up being so pronounced they look like the caribou and elk eye which DO have definitive striations.  But again, that's just MY OPINION. I won't be investing on any of them in the future.  I'll go make to the Tohickon Meder eye where Joe should have stopped.

I too prefer the Tohickon eyes. If you order direct from them you ensure you get good eyes. And FREE shipping!!!!!!

I like both the original Meder IQ and the new Meder eyes. Seems that what is wrong with one version is right with the other. I would use either one. Oh...and......

Original Meder and occasionaly a prerotated Tohickon

[Greg Livbucks]

Meder IQ eyes have more depth. With that depth, which is nice in itself, comes a lack of detail or blurriness if you will. The new Meder eyes have that detail but lack the depth. Pick your poison.

The Meder IQ eyes have a general oblique shape to them and the new Meder eyes have a definite corneal bulge where the eyelid can lay around. The only people who are going to be looking at them so closely are the taxidermists. From viewing distances, a customer would be pleased with either one. I think both are fine eyes. I have a hard time picking a favorite. George's optometrist made a typo on his prescription.

Eddie, your work is just phenomenal. If I didn't know how talented you are, I would swear that is a real deers eye. But seeing how it has so many bars in it as G pointed out these have to be the new liquid eyes, because they just don't look right.    LOL   

[George Roof]

I see the strata in the real deer's eyes, not one dimensional LINES around the pupil. Did you notice that the scleral band is divided by a BROWN ring instead of a black one and the sclera is actually tea stained instead of WHITE?

[Greg Livbucks]

I would never use that eye. George wouldn't like it.

I like the original meder and the new.....my customers have made more good comments on the new liquid lens than any other I have in the shop. Just preference. Personally I dont want to be still hung up in the 60's era, so bring on the new and improved.
