I then always enjoy telling them that the two "brands" come from the same company! ;^)
So, does it pay to promote a particular brand? What lens company should we be behind if they all seem to be everything to everybody? Why as a practice should we spend 2 or 3 X more $$$ on Zeiss, Varilux or Shamir when I could sell Navigator, Image, Sola XL and VIP, Outlook and end up with more $$$ at the end of the day. I actually do sell some off of that last list and do very well with adaption rates and patient satisfaction. And, as many on this forum have stated before, it is more about the fit, measurements and patient education then the "brand" or "design".
Great thread and lets hear what you all have to say. Thanks to DRK for starting this one!
