    1-800 contacts @ VISION EXPO

    Booth # CL2236 (1-800 Contacts, Inc.)

    Just curious on people's opinions about this company having a booth at VEE. I wonder if they will be trying to recruit CL fitters to prescribe only lenses they sell!?!?

    Please post your thoughts:

    Whats even more interesting, with vision expo setting up booths for the optical industry, wouldn't one think that they would have some optical consultant who might have said, "having 1 800 here, might be shakey, as there seems to be a rift with the professionals and the on-line retailer." So, I too am surprised that they made into the expo!

    :cheers:

    Their booth was probably a 50K spot. Hey this industry goes to the highest bidder.
