    Listed in order of their date of partnership, our equity partners include:


    Essilor of America, Inc.- direct to consumer or just takes all the profit
    Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.- same as above and they gave $$ to E with failed lens program.
    Abbott Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO)- largest provider of laser to eliminate glasses
    Jobson Medical Information LLC- just making money as a media outlet for others on team
    Marchon Eyewear, Inc.- represents VCP's and the end of OD's with optical in 5 years
    American Optometric Association- as an equity partner do they make $ on this as this really serves to hurt OD's in the end.
    Transitions Optical, Inc.-they make money the old fashioned way- monopoly on technology while driving consumer demand to feed all above as well.

    Above is from their website- not one of above does anything to help any optician. They are there to further their own interests and that includes ? for you.
