I would like to remind everyone that there are plenty of things going against Luxottica as well.
Maui Jim has already ended their partnership with Lenscrafters, so that will probably get more MJ...
Had a patient asking the specific measurements of the various progressive lenses. Was only concerned about the width of the intermediate area.
Have you ever been asked this question and how did...
I'd be interested, I definitely want to see a patternless Horizon II. PM sent.

I disagree 100%. The employers are the ones being exploited. Think about how many benefits outside of the hourly wage that employers are legally required to provide to full time employees. The...
I really don't think this is true. Target and Lenscrafters use the same outside labs and the quality difference is night and day. Also, even if the customer submits a correct pd and the lab makes a...
Just curious if anyone sells any brands that are similar to Oakley's ophthalmics. Metal or plastic, but somewhat sporty frames where the temples are designed to go straight back instead of curving...
Not sure how often this site is updated, but here are some Independent Labs.

Lol, is anyone able to afford to send their kids to college these days? $52,000 is the average U.S. salary, $42,927 is the average Optician salary. If Johns is paying $25 per hour and the...
I love Linux!
Every state is different on taxes. Some states charge consumers tax on medical devices (contacts, glasses, etc...) and some only charge tax on plano sunglasses. I'm sure there are other forms of...
Does the company currently not perform lens finishing? Are they actually creating 128 jobs or simply relocating jobs from somewhere else? If this results in the elimination of 128 jobs from Essilor...
Anyone else help patients every week that paid for Lasik surgery yet still come in to buy glasses?
We probably see 2-3 per week.
But how many of those "independent" labs have been bought out by E? Can you really call them independent labs?
Can you share that list or point us to an updated one?
Do you have any evidence of your statement? Has anyone experienced a 30% loss (or even a 10% loss) on here because of online optical?
Chris, how many people are buying online that previously...
I love the idea of a list of independent labs. 2 local labs are now owned by E. Watching them run a solid business then selling out was kind of like that scene in The Neverending Story where the...
Just trying to rile up the ODs. Have you read some of the responses on this thread?
what brand of poly AR and how much?
Is that the Horizon II with the variable speed motor? How much for just that, I don't need the compressor, vacuum or anything.
I just wanted to bring back the PD discussion and legal action from FTC.
My personal belief is that when the patient's rx has an incorrect PD listed, that the prescribing doctor be immediately...
I flip through Vision Monday on occasion. It helps to refute some of the doom and gloom posts from Chris Ryser.
No offense at all, Chris. You are a smarter man than I.
From Vision Monday:
To me it seems that independents cannot only compete with online opticals, but chains as well...

They did not succeed. That's why I said they would be able to answer the OPs question about discontinuing business with them. They are now selling Ray-Bans that sort of look like MJs.
