    Physio 360

    Wallmart in Canada now selling Physio 360....albeit not cheap, at least not yet....orma Alize: retail $544/pr.
    Its kind of a **** off that Essilor is puting their best stuff in wallmart. Good thing we can always sell better.:)

    Ya, I agree with you 100 percent.

    Though, you know that they will not actually use it.

    Physio 360

    The way I see it Essilor cannot have it both ways and sell to the discount chains and also have good relations with independants. I try not to sell their product as a result. I switch Comfort clients to AO Easy as an example and Panamic clients to Sola One. I have tried the 360 lens and like the Seiko Succeed much better and use Seiko's lens as our Internal Progressive lens of choice. I feel that the Physio lenses are overpriced.

    Personally, I'd rather use the Ipseo than the Physio 360. I know the chains can't get it and I've had really good success with it.

    Yes, it is definitely a much better lens. The Physio 360 is similar to a lot of the lenses on the market, but the Ipseo is truely individualized.

    You guys must also have an Ipseo vision print system.....they are fairly rare. The difference in price between ipseo and physio 360 is minimal.

    Mike do you do a lot of business with Essilor? It might be worth calling Gregg Spicer for a visionprint system, if you want to diversify. I'm not sure what it takes to get one these days.

    I think even your place there have this kind of problems, even in Singapore!
    Essilor let a optical chain store selling Physio 360 at S$380 plus frame. I cannot believe they can do that!?
