    Best place to go for stock lens options

    Hey guys,

    Who do you guys use for your stock lenses such as poly AR and poly tintable? I've used SOMO before at other offices, but they've changed to only opening new accounts with practices of three or more locations.

    Thanks!

    FYI (correct if wrong) but both LBI and Nassau are Essilor owned.

    This isn't really a complete solution for stock lenses. But using VSP IOF can't fetch you VERY competitive prices and bump up profitability for VSP insured patients.

    I've been pretty happy with Seiko. Overnight, wide selection of lenses, wide rx range, variety of materials, and if there is an issue, they have been easy to work with. Prices are good as well.

    ODG for us, we use VSP's IOF program for the remained of our needs. Odg is great with overnight shipping and all of our contact lens needs.
