I have worked in the industry for about eight years now, and the first two optical shops I managed had in house labs. I am now at a small independently owned optical boutique and we are searching for a better lab to use. The prices for single vision lenses through the Essilor lab we use are outrageous and there seems to be no way to get stock lenses through them. They take about 7-10 business days for simple single vision and we often get progressive before we get simple SV DVO! We order lenses and have them edged at the same lab, and I would like to cut the cost and turn around time of our SV orders. Also we have quality control issues with them and are constantly sending jobs back for redos, at least 2-3/week. Any suggestions?
