    Anyone else seen the new "Magnavision" Commercial?

    It cracks me up! They have some Opthamologist in an exam with a patient and she says: "I can trust my eyes to magnavision?" and he says "I would stake my reputation on it!"

    Yes.....Because OTC readers work for everyone. :hammer:

    The recommendation of OTCs as a "primary" pair of eyewear by ECPs devalues all we do...just like vision insurance.

    Think about it!

    Do we need to run commercials that remind folks that this is the same company that gave us Love Canal?

    I thought Magnavision was a TV made by Sony.

    Me too. Then there was the Magnaboxx, which was a video game system back in the 70s or 80s
