Hello,
I live in hawaii, and theres plenty of people here interested in RX masks. I think there could be some money in this, but cant seem to find a vendor. As far as i can see, theres two ways to go about it:
1. I buy RXable masks, and edge lenses myself.
2. I find a lab/company that does it for me.
I prefer the second option, but all the sources for masks i find, dont seem to offer wholesale prices. Are RX goggles really so different from RX glasses, that i can't just call in an order and pay X for it and then sell it for Y when it comes in, like i can with all my other jobs?
It appears as if I'd have to order RXable frames from one manufacturer, and then send them out to a standard opthalmic lab to have lenses put in. Which, i geuss makes sense, since I do that for my regular orders.
Hilco doesnt seem to make anything but spherical equivalent goggles now, and i keep finding companies like aquaviz and hydroOptix, who make a great product, but cost me 200 dollars. keystone markup would put my price at $400 dollars, which not only seems pricy, but if my PT googles the label on it, they'll find they could have ordered it direct for half the price! surely thats not gonna help grow a business.
It all just seems silly. Any suggestions on a wholesale vendor that will do the whole order in one place? Preference on a California lab, but beggars can be choosers.
And if no one knows of a wholesaler that can do it complete, any suggestions on a rxable mask provider that doesnt sell RX'ed online themselves?
thanks
