Other than the cost reasons, yes Essilor is expensive for their materials, the main reason our office isn't switching to using VSP products (or their approved products) right now is due to the poor...

Opticianjw, I second all your ideas, but allow me to throw out a discussion point about #4.
4) sell frames off the board when you have a sale.
Should we sell frames off the board or should...
My boss is taking April 1st as the literal date to restart seeing routine patients, with only minor adjustments. He has an anticipation of reopening full schedule and hours on April 17th.

My Maui rep told me this was coming a few weeks ago, but did not know the exact starting timeframe.
merrymaker: Maui will be considered "in-network" with VSP, you bill through VSP with the...
That is a beautiful custom pair! Thank you for sharing!
Bump info share:
VSP will not be making the new Transitions colors or style mirrors available through their labs at this time. No ETA on when or if they will provide coverage.

Years ago, at a previous practice, an optical sales member ( as far as I know we wasn't ABO or state licensed Optician) boasted how he had sold a patient 1.67 with a +.25 sph OU.
I asked him "why?...
Could the blockage be the reason my two Lux reps aren't returning my calls?
One completely no showed on our last frame appointment and still has yet to return my phone calls.
We brought them in to try something new, but as is, they aren't selling that great at all.
HOWEVER,
With Adidas now gone from the ophthalmic frame world, NeuBau is re-purposing those frames...
I second the taking of the OC height. That was reinforced to me through my training to take it on ALL SV lenses.
Doing this also helps patient's understand how the RX will work for their eyes, and...
The genie is out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in and thinking it will go away.
The best our field can hope and strive for is better educating our patients with a push from our...
While my office is not a VSP "Premier" member, it is good to know this if a patient comes in expecting us to participate or use the warranty as promoted.
I have issues with the newly covered standard progressives (on those select authorizations and plans) not coming up as covered as they are supposed to when submitting the order.
Exactly. And the one the patient asks for is a model you don't have part of that 70 piece buy in (or the right size, or color). :banghead:
Rep: this aqua green tort is our number one seller!...
and Oakley, and Tory Burch...
Still working on changing my doc's perspective from the "everyone is looking for those brands!" as well.
I understand you should offer what people are looking for...
This may be a cynical response, but maybe some of the "revenue dip" is from them shutting down many of the online re-sellers of their products?:spin:
I fell in to this line of work, just because I needed a job.
Back in 2005, I was taking classes at a local community college, married, no job, and living with my parents.
My sister worked for the...
I'm off to VEE Thursday morning and I know my time will be spent majorly at the expo.
I have two places in mind I want to hit up while I'm back in NYC, but I am looking for suggestions on...
Replaying Bloodborne since the community has had a push with it being the free game offering for PS+ members this month.
Also working on Nioh, Fortnite, and Knack.
This program started back in September when the updated Sapphire and the new Varilux X rolled out.
I have sold a few here for my office and, in a way, helped boost second pairs...but only by a bit....
My boss is taking me with him up to VEE next month. I've been to NYC about a half dozen times before and I am familiar with getting around and some of the popular tourist attractions.
I am primarily...
